Best Low Stack Adidas Boston 9 Replacement
Running Shoes . ShoppingIf you have read my previous post about my search for a good Adidas Boston 9 Replacement, you know how much I loved them, and how many shoes I tried!
Well I have finally found a replacement! Adidas SL20.3 is the best Boston 9 Replacement.
I am already on my second pair. They are shoes where they don’t force you to run in a specific kind of way, and you control. It has a low stack, which provides a nice ground feel. Ride is firm and easy. Can go slow or fast. Its a boring shoe, but boring is good for daily training. Its super cheap, but that doesn’t impact the performance or durability. They have a beautiful Continental Rubber outsole. They aren’t the most aesthetically beautiful shoe, I do think they were cheap in the design area, but thats about it.
