Thomas: The Supernova is a solid choice for the runner looking for a durable trainer with loads of cushioning. I would recommend the shoe for heavier runners looking for a shoe that will provide lots of soft landings and plush miles.

We highly recommend the Adidas Supernova 3 for: New runners seeking a first shoe with exceptional ventilation, ideal for summer jogs.

The engineered mesh upper material has accommodated my wide feet without any rubbing or blisters. I've had a couple of episodes where my toes have gone slightly numb on longer runs this eased as the shoes mould to my shape. The Boost mid-sole system gives a lift that supports momentum and speed.

From my experience, I would say that the Supernova Rise runs true to size (although it is narrower in the forefoot) and gives a very comfortable step in feel and is very pleasant on the run. People with higher volume feet may want to explore moving half a size up.
