Adapt Trainer

Got these for my dad as a birthday gift last year and they seem to be holding up well! The first pair I ordered was definitely too small on him so I had to exchange them for a larger size. I still think they're a bit snug, but since he prefers a tighter fit for his narrow feet it's perfectly acceptable. The foot-shaped toe box definitely makes up for the lack of width., but it's probably worth sizing up a full size if you have smaller feet - he normally gets a size 5 or 6 and size 7 is still a tad snug in these, but the build quality and comfort seem to be serving him adequately. The cushion and lowkey design make them a great transition shoe, though the Adapt Runners are probably even better for that unless you need a lower stack height. Definitely recommended.

This brand and these trainers are my new favorites. Right off the bat, I typically wear an 8 in women, but the size recommendations are to size up—I contacted Flux and asked whether I should size up a half or a whole size, and they said half. I got an 8 & 1/2, and they fit perfectly. The outer material is very forgiving in fit and movement. They slide on easily. The inner massaging liner is what all shoes should have. The flat laces and holes for lacing are so innovative—they don’t get all twisted. The wide toe box and zero-drop sole I’ve read so much about have even changed my walk for the better when I remove the shoes. No more pointy-toed shoes for me! They are comfortable when walking, like I have nothing on my feet yet am supported. I love the Sand color that I got for everyday wear for work—they can get dirty because they are the color of dirt, and it’s no big deal! I’ve not had to wash them yet, but, when I do, I know that I can throw them in the washer—one of the reasons I bought this particular shoe. I also got the trainers in Whiteout for casual occasions—haven’t even gotten to wear those yet. If I could change some things about this shoe, and why I’m only giving this a 4-star rating versus a 5, I would want just one side of the tongue of the shoe to be attached/sewn to the shoe—my foot is narrow but arched, so I always have to adjust the tongue back to midline; having one side attached/sewn would allow for donning and doffing the shoe but would also keep the…

I wore these for about 5 minutes before the side under the ankle bone started rubbing my skin off. That said, they are very flexible and flat and otherwise seemed comfortable. I just need to wear only higher socks with them, which I hate. They were all final sale at the time of my purchase which also put me in a weird spot to commit before I knew this. Obviously everyone has different foot dimensions, but all of this made it a 3-star experience for me.

As a teacher, it is hard to find comfortable shoes that do not hurt my feet. The adapt trainers are the best for always walking around. They help keep my feet comfortable and I have enough room in my toe box to move my toes! You won’t be disappointed! When buying them make sure you size up because they ran small. Even when I sized up they are not too big, they fit well!
