For your recovery runs as well as your interval training sessions, adidas dresses up women's running: the page mainly features running shoes, along with the clothing to go with them.
Everyday shoes or lighter models for speed, jackets, tops, shorts, and leggings: choose based on your pace and distance.
For regular running at a moderate pace, the Questar and the Runfalcon are the most visible models at the top of the page. They are versatile shoes that are easy to wear, perfect for building up your endurance during the off-season. They come in several colours, from black to white to purple. Choose your size with a bit of extra room at the front.
When you run more often or faster, other ranges take over. The Adistar focuses on the comfort of long runs, the Adizero on the lightness of quick sessions, and the Pureboost on dynamic cushioning for city running. The Supernova and the Response complete the choice for daily training. Compare them on the product sheets to find your model.
The adidas textiles complement the shoes. The adi365 jackets in women's fit cover warm-ups and commutes. The Adizero Aspyre tops are designed for running. For rainy weather, waterproof jackets protect against winter showers. Shorts, leggings, tights and sports bras complete the outfit, along with running socks to minimise chafing.
Women's shoes follow a dedicated sizing grid, and some unisex models are available in men's sizes. Measure your foot at the end of the day and leave about a centimetre in front of your big toe, as your foot swells while running. For the textiles, a fitted cut prevents chafing, but it should not compress your breathing.
To compare, several nearby pages are waiting for you. The page Mizuno women offers leggings, jackets and shoes from the Japanese brand. The page Nike women features headbands, water bottles and training accessories. The page Craft women gathers Swedish running textiles. All the choices are on the page women’s physical care.
Last season's colours often end up on sale. Check the women’s clearance page, then the special offers for physical care. During major events, pass by the shoe sales.
A versatile and comfortable model, like the Questar or the Runfalcon, is enough to get started. There’s no need to aim for a competition shoe for moderate pace runs. Focus on comfort and the right size.
It’s often said to be several hundred kilometres, depending on your weight, your stride and the terrain. Pay attention to the signs: smooth soles, compressed cushioning, unusual pains. Keeping a note of your runs helps track wear.
For light circuit training, yes. For squats and heavy loads, thick cushioning can make your feet unstable: a flatter, firmer sole is preferable.
In cold or low temperature, zippers closed and inside out. Avoid fabric softener as it clogs technical fibres, and do not use a tumble dryer. For a waterproof jacket, follow the label to maintain the water-repellent treatment.
The sizing grids differ slightly, and the shape is often narrower. If you know your men’s size, convert it using the guide on the product sheet rather than keeping the same number.
