I've been using the original 4DFWD for over a year now for gym on intense 1 hr long elliptical training sessions 2-3 times a week, best shock absorption i ever had on my feet, eva,etpu, air, zoom air, nothing came even close. And after complete break in after all this time it still preforms just as well because the midsole is so durable, it even lost the squeak it had when it was newer and now when i walk it is dead silent.
Yeah I honestly didn't even think about these for elliptical but it makes sense with the motion of the machine - glad they're working well for you still
I’m a biomedical engineer and adidas 4d tech inspired my senior capstone. I really appreciate how you went into the engineering! Hearing about it all made me all excited about shoes and I really want to try these now that it’s not just a gimmick. I’m looking forward to the future when personalized midsole lattices are printed from foot scans!
Very cool! Yeah the print on demand was the original form of these a while back but the infrastructure to do it was so labor intensive and costly they went back to this type of modeling - would be cool to see what happens with it in a few years
As someone who's getting a Material Science degree soon, I am so glad I found your channel. I got the pair for 50% so I searched for reviews (post-buying it lmao). The way you tackle materials and how it is applied is very unique and I've yet too see a TH-camr who does this. Props to you mr foot doctor! EDIT: I was literally :o when I saw you do Mechanical Tests like the durometer!
I have last year’s 4DFWD model and I love them. They’re the best running shoes I’ve run in, and they’re also really comfortable for casual wear. I’d say on the same level as the Ultraboosts, the classic style Ultraboosts that is, haven’t tried any of the newer style Ultraboosts. Even for running I’d say they’re better than the Ultraboosts or any other foam running shoe, as you can really feel the midsole pushing you forward by a lot, making you less tired.
I agree. I have both the new 4DFWD shown in the video as well as the Ultra 4DFWD shoes and they are by far the best most comfortable jogging/running shoes i’ve ever worn in my entire life. Better than the boost or zoomx or every other sole on the market.
@@KC-lg8qf Oh? I’ve always went true to size with the Ultra boost as well. I will say the Ultraboost and the Ultra 4DFWD have almost the same silhouette. So if you have wider feet you may want to size up by half a size.
Very cool of adidas to send these for review. These are extremely interesting, German engineering at its finest. This seems to address the durability issues of long distance foams bottoming out.
Found a pair of the half sole at Ross and have absolutely loved them the past couple of months. Finally invested in a full sole pair that I should get in a week! I love these shoes.
Immediately cuts $200 shoes in half. You are an absolute mad man Dr Zach and that dedication along with your scientific approach is why you're #1 on my reviewer power rankings
was considering these, sold from the fact that you went over the tech with the heel striking because that's how I often run. Thanks for the good video!
I have seen other reviews that say the shoes are heavy and it is more for short runs. I like the look and I was curious about the shoe. Thank you for checking it out.
Lots of info on shoe. The shoe seems to offer some amazing innovations. Also, great cinematography. Pittsburgh riverfront looks like a great place to run.
Just bought the original 4d4wd and they did not disappoint really does like the shoe pushes you forward and is great for running! I shaved a minute 30 secs of my pb for a 5k run compared to my old gp turbos I was using to run in! I'd love to say I was the difference but I think the shoe really does get you further for less, could still do a short sprint at the end so agree with you it makes you more efficient with more energy at the end! Hopefully it's durability is good long term, I've come to expect nothing less from Adidas!
I've tried it. It's very comfortable for my feet while standing and walking. Way better than the Adidas Superstar, CloudFoam and even adidas forum low shoes. The 4DFWD shoes is my favorites. Looking forward to buy 4DFWD 3. 👍🏼
As i show from people that had them for 6 months they get holes in the same position in both shoes. Lets see what will happen with the new one that adidas released 2-3 days ago. They must make them more durable for once.
My wife will not be happy if I tell her that this shoes is really excellent to add to my running shoes.I will tell her as per advise by doc Zach this is excellent for my old knees.😂
Now that is interesting. I’m not a runner and there aren’t many areas out here where you don’t get attacked by peoples dogs they just let loose, but the tech here seems really neat. Finally pushing the envelope. I may want to try a pair. I normally wear boots but want something cool and casual for going out and of course the treadmill. Maybe I might be inspired to go running outside where I may not be mauled to death by dogs.
my work involves ALL-DAY-STANDINg(9-12 hours) and i have been using ultra boost for years, they feel comfortable for 10+ hours . but 4D starts getting uncomfortable after 4 hours. I weight 145 pounds. ULTRABOOST is hands down best thing adidas ever created.
I am not much of a runner or workout person, but I wear these for travel and walking around. I am a huge Ultraboost fanboy, but these are great. After a day of break in they were super comfortable. I got them in the stealthy grey/black colorway with some reflective areas. They look very cool and high tech, and are quite comfortable. Recommend.
Thank you for such a great review 👏 Ive got a pair of Ultraboost 22s,.was going to order a 2nd pair but opted for Nike Infinity Flyknit, they arrived last night, I unboxed them then saw your review, re-packed the Nike for a refund and ordered the these! I'm excited to try them.
Yeah I think it would need paired with something dense and something on the periphery containing it, but yeah its probably the next step to incorporate it
Hi, I haven't had the chance to fit these on. But being in isolation due to covid and trying to make the sale deadline, I'm planning to buy online. Just wanted to ask, concerning the forward propulsion it gives, do you actually feel it? Can I use it like in casual setting and still feel comfortable? Like with public speaking onstage, will it like compel me forward (even if I don't want to) with every step, like will it cause stress with me trying to fight the propulsion? Thank you in advance, sir!
Randomly found this review from the algorithm after watching adam savage gawk at the technology that makes them. A question for me would be, as someone who doesnt run, but suffers from several of the foot problems you described like shin splints, heel pain and even some knee tightness just on long walks, would this still be a good shoe recommendation to alleviate those problems?
Hi Zach, I'm still not convinced there is a benefit from the lattice structure of the shoe compared to foam. When you land the shoe moves ~1mm forward, that is a mechanical gain but it does not contribute to energy return. It might even push you backwards on push off as the lattice decompresses. The TPU lattice might be resilient (efficient), but it's quite firm and will store a limited amount of energy compared to soft foams. Add in the increased weight and this shoe is rather a lifestyle sneaker than a running shoe.
It depends on the structure of the lattice if those layers were set in the other direction yeah it’d exert a backward force - the shape of it acts like a semi rigid shank throughout the shoe from what I experienced - I’m fine with increased weight if I’m getting something in return - plus it’s not TPU it’s EPU which gives quite a bit more - ETPU or TPU would be alittle unforgiving IMO for this kind of design - there’s still going to be a lot of people who want foam but to me the science is good just depends what you want to feel underfoot
Awesome video as always. Is it possible to get you to review the Way Of Wade 808 2?? Or the 808 2 Ultra? I bet you would be impressed. Would really like to see someone who actually knows about shoes review it. Cheers buddy.
When it comes to sizing what size do you recommend I get. I have a slightly wider foot. • Size 8.5 in most running and basketball and shoes. Also in air max’s and blazer mids. • Size 8 in Jordan 1’s and is my true to size fit usually.
they look nice, little too expensive for my taste. Personally, I like very stiff, padded running shoes, especially when I'm training. A little weight and stiffness helps prevent injuries for mid-foot runners, plus when you switch over to spikes or lighter race shoes/socks, you feel the difference more significantly. Adidas has the problem of being too light. Even in your video, on those close ups, you could see your foot deforming over the left or right of the shoe when you planted your foot, which isn't really good for the foot. If Adidas were serious about making good running shoes, I think they need to slow down on the innovation and work on making a shoe that actually feels solid and secure. I have my doubts that these shoes are going to do that.
@@FootDoctorZach fair enough, I actually went and tried them on in store, I was pleasantly surprised that they had more support than other Adidas shoes ive worn in the past.
I'm looking forward to 3d printed midsoles to get more space in the market. Could you imagine a plated hypershoe with this tech? That would be bonkers. Adidas and Carbon are really doing a great an innovative job on the running market!
@@FootDoctorZach maybe they could lower the volume of 4D and try implementing it with lightstrike pro foam, in a similar way that nike does with the zoomx and zoom bag in the alphaflys, that would be sick!
I'm a bit wary about the fit, I've tried Ultraboost with primeknit before and it choked my 2E wide feet. I hope this will fit better, can't wait to test out the futuristic 3D printed midsole.
Hey Zach! Really interesting and informative video as always. I would love to see you look at the asics novablast 3. It seems like a similar shoe and reviewers are saying it could be the best running shoe of the year!
Are these good running shoes for people with flat feet , in terms of shock absorption , stability etc . If not can you suggest some brands that I should consider ?
Good video, love the 4d tech Been rockin my triple black futurecrafts for years now, Best 300$ i ever spend, Will definitely buy fwd's when they release a triple black colourway,,
Excellent Review… Thank You for the in-depth information and clarity provided!! Incredible… Question?? What are your thoughts on Homs Speedgoat??? Thank you 😊
It's weird to see my city in the background, I never see any popular TH-camrs from Pittsburgh. Digging the shoes though, hoping to pick up a pair to try eventually.
Hi Doctor, I like how you explained the 4D tech of these shoes. I want to get these shoes for my daily running. I want to wear it all day at work & training, but the weight of this is heavy compared with other running shoes. Does the weight matter affect my 10k run? I'm still thinking between Addidas Boston 11 & 12 vs 4d. I don't have much experience with this. Could you give me a suggestion?
Are these good with orthotics? I have wide feet and honestly not that stable while walking so i need orthotics to reshape my. Feet i guess. And for stability.
How has Adidas missed an opportunity to make a basketball sneaker with this 4D technology and boost by now? I think it will be pretty sick. A boost drop in insole with 4D sole sounds like comfort and bounce
@@FootDoctorZach i was thinking an encapsulated 4d. Like how they do boost at times. Some sort of semi translucent side wall of sorts. Or using it in the heel and forefoot like zoom. You are the pro at this tech stuff so I'm sure you know the limitations.
Hi Dr. Zach, thank you for the amazing explanation in this informative video. I had a quick question. I play tennis on the hard court for 6 hours every week. I recently am suffering from the jumper’s knee and I suspect because I don’t have the right kind of shoes. I tried the 4DFWD 2 shoes and felt very comfortable for walking. Do you think these could be a good fit for playing tennis on hard court especially for the knee? Thank you in advance!
Nah you’d roll over in a sec in these - they’re better than other running shoes for sure for stability but not for tennis - jumpers knee needs to be managed under supervision so I’d talk to your local orthopedic surgeon
Ran 20 miles right out the box with these shoes. 9:05 pace per mile…. I actually grabbed 2 pairs when I got them. The selling point for me was the continental sole. I just couldn’t wrap my head around it.
Good review, how about stability? Is it recommended for asymmetrically foot/leg due to flat feet/over pronation also slight knee valgus on one side? Does 4D feature help it without add orthotics insole?
They’re more stable than most running shoes- in terms of knee issues you should try them on first because some people like the feel of a dynamic midsole vs some like a stiff setup- it’s all personal preference , I will say these have better shock absorption than 99.9% IMO
How about using these shoes for deadlifting? I mainly use it for running but at times I want to use it for other workouts as well? Do we know the maximum weight capacity for these shoes?
I USED THEM LAST WEEK FOR MY TRIP TO FLORIDA. BEST DECISION EVER! 3 DAYS WALKING AROUND DISNEY OVER 25k STEPS EVERYDAY AND LET ME TELL YOU I FEEL LIKE I WAS WALKING ON A PEOPLE MOVER ALL THE TIME! BEST SHOES I EVER HAD! 💯🤌🏽✅️
🌴These shoes are Incredibly Very Good for long distance.Short distance my feet hurt.1st try on they feel incredible but day to day there is no cushion right beneath the foot it's flat all the way through.Maybe a purchase of a better insole would correct the problem.Digging in long distance incredible but everyday casual forget it my feet hurt.The shoe looks good and premium but for me my foot hurt.The bottoms the plastic gets brittle with cold weather and eventually breaks apart but hold together long enough to get another pair.Also go 1 size smaller and they'll fit perfectly there way bigger and not true to size.

Nah you’d roll over in a sec in these - they’re better than other running shoes for sure for stability but not for tennis - jumpers knee needs to be managed under supervision so I’d talk to your local orthopedic surgeon
Ran 20 miles right out the box with these shoes. 9:05 pace per mile…. I actually grabbed 2 pairs when I got them. The selling point for me was the continental sole. I just couldn’t wrap my head around it.
That’s a good haul
I am planning to buy adidas ultraboost light
Anyone thoughts on tht...?
by ver. 3 or 4 id love to see them make these lighter. weight is the main drawback i feel for the 4d line
I think with each generation of them the weight will come down as the material gets stronger per grid
I want a pair now….
What about fwd 4d ultra?
Can u do the ultraboost web also and talk about if they used both tech in 1 shoe
True to size for narrow foot??
As a Herculean style demigod, these shoes inspired me to find the Golden Fleece and helped me defeat Cerebus!
Hii do you have a review for Cloud Foam Adidas? thank you 🙏 i try to buy 1. i am a newbie runner 🏃♂️ .
This is off-topic. Can you review and dissect adidas ZX 22 boost?
Great review, very well explained 🔥💯
Cannot wait for the review of the Zen 4 from 361 or Li-Ning Bad Five either high or low 🔥🔥💯💯
These are the most comfortable shoes I own
Can you sprint in these?
Good review, how about stability? Is it recommended for asymmetrically foot/leg due to flat feet/over pronation also slight knee valgus on one side? Does 4D feature help it without add orthotics insole?
They’re more stable than most running shoes- in terms of knee issues you should try them on first because some people like the feel of a dynamic midsole vs some like a stiff setup- it’s all personal preference , I will say these have better shock absorption than 99.9% IMO
How about using these shoes for deadlifting? I mainly use it for running but at times I want to use it for other workouts as well? Do we know the maximum weight capacity for these shoes?
Deadlifting I’d want specific lifting shoes
I USED THEM LAST WEEK FOR MY TRIP TO FLORIDA. BEST DECISION EVER! 3 DAYS WALKING AROUND DISNEY OVER 25k STEPS EVERYDAY AND LET ME TELL YOU I FEEL LIKE I WAS WALKING ON A PEOPLE MOVER ALL THE TIME! BEST SHOES I EVER HAD! 💯🤌🏽✅️
🌴These shoes are Incredibly Very Good for long distance.Short distance my feet hurt.1st try on they feel incredible but day to day there is no cushion right beneath the foot it's flat all the way through.Maybe a purchase of a better insole would correct the problem.Digging in long distance incredible but everyday casual forget it my feet hurt.The shoe looks good and premium but for me my foot hurt.The bottoms the plastic gets brittle with cold weather and eventually breaks apart but hold together long enough to get another pair.Also go 1 size smaller and they'll fit perfectly there way bigger and not true to size.
Curious on your thoughts of how these would do with a heavy runner. 250+ lbs ?
I don’t see an issue
hey... pittsburgh!
I bought them because the look cool AF.
I need heel support and they stopped making the Nike zoom fly4. would you pick this over the Nike zoom fly 5?
Personally yes
Oh, are you Pittsburgh? Never knew. Go Pens.
Hi Doc! Can u do Li-ning WoW 808 2 review. Its a drop in midsole and its comparable with Kobe 8 or 9. Thank you so much
