#9: Adidas Swift Run Shoes

Uses: Can be used for a variety of reasons, from racing to fashion!
Review: Personally, I find these shoes to have a very sleek style that resembles today’s fashion trends. Another feature is that the shoes do not contain the traditional lace, but have a new mechanism that does not require any laces! It is described as a slip-on shoe, which is great for convenience and speed! However, this shoe is more expensive, and this is perhaps the only negative aspect of this shoe.

Review: I love this shoe because it’s more affordable than many other shoes and still brings a sleek design and color palette to the table. The midsole is extremely lightweight as Puma introduced a new form of sole technology to the market. All in all, it is the perfect training shoe for someone new to a gym with its affordable price and fashion.

Uses: This shoe is a running shoe
Conclusion: This shoe is a relatively common shoe for its price as well as its simple design. While some may prefer the flamboyant colors of other shoes, I much prefer the monochromatic, polished look this shoe offers. It’s one of the best running shoes you can find for the price, so I would recommend it to all my fellow runners.
