Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“I still have the B12, already ran 300+ km in them. With the foam on my B12 already matured and compressed with such mileage, it is slightly softer than my new B13”
“My 9.5 in Adidas world is in fact 9 2/3 and is too roomy. But 9.0 is TTS and is definitely small.”
“It's the only shoe I've ever had to size down in. Always always a 10.5 but was a 10 in my B12's”
“Same here. Only occurs during my warmup. The discomfort goes away after I pickup the speed”
