Adidas Galaxy 5 Lightweight, Comfortable And Well Made

I bought the new Adidas Galaxy 5 shoes at Academy Sports. I wanted to replace my old pair of ASICS Gel-Venture 4’s that I purchased a few years ago.

The ASICS held up well but after years of everyday use and abuse, they were ready for retirement.

The Nike Air Zoom Winflo 7 and the Adidas Edge Gameday shoes were pretty interesting too but I wanted to keep within my budget of about $50 dollars.

And therefore, I went with the Galaxy 5. Plus the Galaxy 5 had a little extra pop and curb appeal if you will, with the scarlet red.

I went to my local Academy Sports store and after trying on a few pairs of shoes the Adidas was the best choice for my personal taste and wallet at the time.

There was a little bit of a hunt for these sneakers because they had ample sizes in the black and they gray but no 9.5’s in red.

My wife and I called around to a few local stores but no luck. I could have easily settled for another color but now I really wanted them in red, LOL.

I started to purchase them online but finally, there was another store a little further out that literally had 1 pair left in my size and I was able to snag them up before for someone else did. No joke.

Now on to the good stuff.

The Galaxy 5 felt right for me from the start. From the first time that I tried them on, I knew they were true to my size and the cloud foam sole is very comfortable and provides just enough support.

They are perfect for going on long walks or especially when I combine my walk with a run. Even after a 45-minute run, I don’t take them off and generally keep them on for the rest of the day.

So far, they are super comfortable and great for the road and working out at the gym. At the gym, I am primarily on my feet whether I am doing a warm-up on the treadmill, jumping rope, or during my dumbbell or barbell complex routine.

The Galaxy 5 has the right amount of bounce and cushioning and provides a soft impact on my knees and feet.

I have been rocking Adidas before My Adidas (Run-DMC) hit the scene and therefore no stranger to the brand. So I knew I was getting a quality product from the first moment I put them on.

The only thing not so great is the cushioning and stitch seems pretty visible on part of the shoe near the tongue and it gives it a slightly unfinished look.

Otherwise, the Adidas Galaxy 5 is an inexpensive shoe that is good for a walker or runner outside, or for one that might log a lot of miles on the treadmill indoors.

I found the cloudfoam to be responsive with enough versatility for strength and conditioning workouts at the gym, or to take on the road the trail or even the track.

Either way, you can feel confident the Galaxy 5 is going to perform well.
