Very nice shoe!

Echoing other reviews, this is a great shoe with a good size toe box and plenty of cushion. I'll definitely go for another pair when time.

Adidas Supernova Cushion 6 Running Shoe Review

I run for my university's cross country team so I go through 5-6 pairs of shoes a year putting about 500 miles on each shoe. The Adidas supernova shoes are the only ones I wear even though we're sponsored by Asics. Absolutely the most comfortable trainer I've ever worn I just can't bring myself to buy other shoes like Mizuno, Brooks, or Nike that, though they may weigh less, are much less comfortable as well. The supernova shoe is the ultimate in cushioning and support, leagues above other brands, providing exactly what you need for any novice or experienced runner. The shoe removes the constant pounding that your legs absorb and which often leads to stress fractures and other injuries. If your looking for the right mix of comfort, style and support this shoe is what you need.

Not for me.

Shame on me twice for getting a shoe that has a hard mid-foot. The first was recommended by a Footaction's salesman for an Asics Gel shoe. He said I was flat-footed and need a pair of shoe with arch support or a mid-foot stiffener. After my first jog my arches were hurting me. I thought it was a new pair and needed to be worn in. Tried it a couple more times and it didn't get any better. So back to Nike's Air Max.

After great successes and comfort of Adidas MegaBounce and AS Trail, I shifted alliance with Nike to Adidas and decided to get the more cushioned Supernova 6 over the cheaper Orbed. For me with a flat foot and the left feet having the tendency to roll inward, this became extremely painful. More pain on the left, but not too much on the right foot. So I guessed it more of my physical makeup then just the shoe.

The Shoe
The shoe itself is fairly awesome and extremely padded on the sides and cushioned in the front and rear foot. Again I don't like the mid-foot Torque system. I have likened the wider foot design of Adidas and Asics over the narrower Nike design; typically I had to buy a one size longer for Nike shoe. The upper mesh is one of the best ventilated materials out there. Plus the looks of Adidas shoe design are more pleasing in my eyes then the extravagant Nike's deigns. I can still use this shoe for walking, because it is quite comfortable like what I did with the other Asics Gel.
Just not for my feet.

Great running shoes / great price

I had the previous version of the Supernova cushion and liked them. Adidas fit my feet well and these shoes are light enough. I was hesitating to buy this new model as they were over $100. I found them on Amazon significantly cheaper and went for it. LOVE these shoes. It is the only ones I will run with now. Light, stable, breath very well, and great cushion. Also, they look pretty sweet.

good shoes

comparing with my ascis 2120(also new, both 9.5).

This pair is a little smaller than 2120. Bouncing is better and the feel of grabbing the ground is stronger than 2120. For the price, it is really a good choice.
