I found this shoe exactly like you. Good for anything but long runs. Not stable enough for trails. Long run problem is for me, under big toe there is only firmer foam. While all the rest there is soft foam. But it is good training for big toe.
That’s interesting! I’ve run in Bostons, AP2 and Takumi Sens and in every case I couldn’t complain on the rubber’s durability. While in Sl2 after ~100k I already see some wear and tear. But that’s possible that it’s because of the tread - in all of those different shoes I’ve mentioned it’s usually pretty flat. Thanks for your comment! 🙌
Yes, B12 is better in everything, especially long runs. That’s why it’s also more expensive;) I’d say SL2 is a budget choice. If you’re able to buy Bostons I’d always choose them over SL2. SL2 are great shoes considering the price, but if you take the price out of the equation - they’re alright, but there’s a lot of better options ;)
Yes, especially if you’re comparing older models to the new ones. I usually look not at the size, but at the insole length (most companies usually put this info in the sizing chart). The difference shouldn’t be big, but it can be there unfortunately:(
Thank you, man
THX dude! Wanna point out, Continental is soft and wears out quicker. This rubber is firmer, and so it wears out slower.

Have you tried Boston 12? How do you compare this two? I have B12 and I use it for easy, tempo and long run, something like the same case use as SL2

I have adidas racer tr23 In 8.5 us and I want to upgrade to sl2 is there a slight difference in sizes for each adidas shoe
