Pros: Help keep feet dry.

| gothicdreams's Full Review: Adidas Clima Cool Dialect Technical Running Shoes ... |
Introduction
I have been wearing Adidas for many years because of their excellent product line and wide selection of shoes. I have owned a pretty wide variety of Adidas shoes over the years, such as the first generation of Clima Cool shoes, Grey suede shell toed shoes, a pair of Adidas hiking shoes from way back in 1999 which are still kicking as good as the first day I wore them and too many others to list.
Story
I got these as a gift. But are from a store in the mall called Champs because that is where I bought my first pair of Adidas Clima Cools for $75. Plus they usually have their shoes on sale a good bit of the time.
Usefulness in Gym
I love these shoes on the treadmill because the grip is very firm and steady. Due to being ultra light weight and being relatively durable they make an excellent running shoe because they do not leave your feet feeling heavy when engaging in running on or off a treadmill for thirty minutes or more.
I do not really care for doing squats with these shoes because they kind of feel like the midsole is going buckle. Honestly these shoes are not very versatile so if you do not really do much running I would not suggest buying them unless you want a pair of shoes that breathe very easily.
Comfort
The Adidas Clima Cool Dialect Technical Running Shoes are very comfortable because the midsoles have a great deal of shock absorption;however, I found them to be a almost entirely lacking for arch support so when I run for extended periods of time I add in a pair of Dr. Scholl's insoles and you have a pair shoes with all around excellent support and cushioning. But the arch is sufficient for short periods of time for example thirty minutes or less.
Style
These particular Adidas Clima Cool shoes are astonishingly beautiful in style that are more of an novelty due to being not very durable.
Durability
My personal experience is that Adidas Clima Cools in general they tend to be very durable as far as the insoles, midsoles, and soles are considered. Normal wear and tear they should last two years or more. I personally do not recommend over doing it on the water proofer because it has a starching effect making the mesh more fragile from being made stiffer.
They do not resist harsh treatment at all and are truly a jogger's and work out and everyday life unfriendly shoe in the context of the body of the shoe made of mesh because it is not rip resistant.
Warning do not throw Adidas Clima Cool Dialect Technical Running Shoes into the washer machine because they will fall apart or rip on the mesh from being agitated(washed). So I do not recommend that you under any condition use a washer machine to wash these shoes.
Ease of Clean Up
All it takes to clean them up is some gentle/mild soap, water, and a rag. Personally I do not have to use that very often at all because they stay pretty clean looking from using a water proofer and rubbing a damp rag over the dirty areas.
***As a side note you lose some of the breathing that shoe does when inserting insoles so take them out if you get them damp or wet with sweat because I learned that the Clima cool shoes are not very washer friendly on the underside.***
Recommend
I would recommend them to anyone who wants to buy an excellent pair of shoes that is for running only under normal non-demanding strain on the mesh especially where the toes are.
