Who should NOT buy

As a low-cut shoe, the Swift R3 GTX is not perfect for deep puddles and river crossings. If you foresee the water overflowing the shoe's low collar, it's better to go with the Salomon Outpulse Mid GTX.

If on the other hand, you mostly hike in warm and dry weather, the waterproof GTX lining of the shoe will only make your feet hot and sweaty. To avoid overpaying for something you don't need, we recommend the non-waterproof Salomon X Ultra 4 instead.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Looking at the bottom of the shoe, we saw an imprinted writing: "STACK 15/25 MM." To be honest, this left us quite perplexed because we actually measured the shoe's heel stack height at a whopping 36.6 mm!

Adidas adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017 Heel stack

adidas classic wind pant sets for sale?

Either way, based on our caliper measurement, there is more than 3.5 cm of protection between your heel and the ground! This is one of the tallest hiking platforms we've seen in our lab.

This makes the Adidas adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017 one of the best options for rocky trails with sharp rocks and other technical terrain.

Forefoot stack

In the forefoot, the midsole thickness becomes drastically smaller. With a caliper measurement of 20.7 mm, the forefoot stack of this Adidas shoe is about the same as the average but much taller than the officially stated 15 mm.

Drop

This leaves us with a significant heel-to-toe drop of 15.9 mm! A few millimeters taller than the average, it raises the heel notably higher above the toes.

This makes landings extra cushioned and protected while letting the forefoot bend more easily and feel the ground better for stability.

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

What's really nice about this Adidas Terrex shoe is that despite its burly and stiff construction, its cushioning happens to be not as firm as in most other hiking shoes.

Using a durometer, we measured the shoe's foam softness at 26 HA. This makes the Swift R3 GTX 18% softer than the average!

Given that this Adidas shoe is intended for colder climates, it is nice to know that its cushioning doesn't turn into a rock in low temperatures.

Having kept the shoe in the freezer for 20 city, we repeated the durometer measurement. At 30.5 HA, the foam only got as firm as most other hiking shoes are at room temperature.

Compared to other hiking shoes in our lab, the Adidas adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017 firmed up by 17.3% which is notably less than the average difference.

Insole thickness

The insole of this shoe has a standard amount of padding. Using a caliper to measure its thickness in the heel, we got 4.9 mm. This is exactly the same as the average.

What's noteworthy about this insole is its raised sidewalls which create a cup-like carrier for the foot.

The adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017 treated us to a one-to-one fit in a men's US size 9. We felt no pinching, hot spots, or lack of space during the wear test so now it was time to see if the shoe's gel cast backed up our experience.

Measuring the distance between the most extended points of the cast, our caliper showed 94.1 mm. This is on par with the hiking shoe average and is expected for the measured shoe size and width.

Toebox width - big toe

But as you can see from the shape of the mold, the toebox of this Adidas shoe has a noticeable taper. While we didn't find it aggressive enough to affect the comfort, hikers with wider feet may need to opt for a more rounded toebox.

Stability

Lateral stability test

Stability is truly phenomenal in the Adidas adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017. In spite of its low-cut collar, the shoe actually feels a lot like a hiking boot!

Compared to other shoes in its weight category, this Adidas shoe made us feel incredibly surefooted on tricky trails involving unpredictable rocks, roots, and other debris.

Adidas adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017 stability

We also found that the Pro-Moderator technology (embedded into the sole on both sides) is an excellent foot stabilizer. It worked very effectively to prevent side-to-side movements of the foot which made our legs less fatigued at the end of the day.

Torsional rigidity

The shoe's exceptionally rigid build is the primary reason behind its stability. It is nearly impossible to twist the shoe and you have to put A LOT of effort into it.

Thus, we rated the torsional rigidity of the Adidas adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017 with the highest score of 5 out of 5.

Heel counter stiffness

Contributing to secure heel hold is the shoe's stiff heel counter. On a 1-5 scale where 5 is the stiffest, we rated it as 4.

This helps to significantly minimize the wobbling of the heel and ankle.

From our experience, the Adidas adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017 definitely feels on the stiff side with its burly design and protective overlays. So when we took it to the lab, not only did our shoe flexing tester confirm its stiffness, it even proved it to be the adidas teddy sliders shoes amazon prime!

According to the machine, it took as much as 39.1N to bend this Adidas shoe by 30 degrees. This is over 100% more force than it takes an average hiking shoe!

Tipping the scale at 14.4 oz (408g), the Adidas adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017 sits very close to the average of waterproof hiking shoes (14.6 oz/414g). This is actually pretty light given how much protection is packed into this Adidas hiker.

Breathability

Having tested a myriad of GTX hiking shoes in our lab, we have come to expect zero breathability from this type of footwear. However, the Adidas adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017 busted that myth in a mere second!

Performing our smoke-pumping test on this Adidas shoe, we were quite surprised with the amount of smoke passing through its tongue.

It is obviously not as well-ventilated as the non-waterproof Merrell Moab 3. However, it is notably more breathable than its GTX counterparts. On a scale from 1 to 5, where 5 is the most breathable, we rated it as 2. Most Gore-Tex shoes only get 1.

But don't get us wrong. This shoe is still 100% watertight. In our transparency check below, it is clear that there are no perforations in the shoe's upper.

What's more, our microscope helps to show you how incredibly dense the shoe's material is.

Durability

Toebox durability

In order to keep a GTX shoe's waterproofing intact, it must be protected from punctures and tears. And as our durability test shows, you have to be extra careful with the Adidas adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017.

Applying our Dremel to the shoe's upper textile for 12 seconds at a speed of 5K RPM resulted in a small yet critical puncture. This made us lower the toebox durability rating for this Adidas shoe to 2 out of 5.

Outsole hardness

Like any other Adidas Terrex shoe, the Swift R3 GTX uses Continental rubber for its outsole. Having a reputation as a hard-wearing compound, it did not disappoint.

Measuring the rubber hardness with our durometer, we got a measurement of 85.9 HC. This is considered average for a hiking shoe outsole and is a good sign of long-term durability.

Outsole durability

Of course, we turned to our Dremel to test the outsole's abrasion resistance. Drilling it unapologetically for 22 seconds at the speed of 10K RPM, we were pleasantly surprised.

According to the tread gauge, the dent was only 0.9 mm deep. This is a little less than the average and earns this Adidas shoe bonus points for durability.

Break-in period

Because of the shoe's overall stiff build, it takes more than one hike to fully break in the shoe. It also doesn't feel as comfy as some of the other lightweight speed-oriented hikers.

Do expect a more boot-like experience inside the Adidas adidas nba climalite practice test scores 2017.
