Our read

The Adidas Response 2 is a budget-friendly, neutral road shoe aimed at casual runners and walkers rather than dedicated training. Adidas positions it for short distances (0-6 miles) with soft Cloudfoam+ EVA and a breathable mesh upper. It's comfortable and versatile for daily use, but there's no independent testing on weight, stack, or drop, and the short-distance framing signals limited utility for longer or faster running.

Ride

Cloudfoam+ EVA delivers soft, springy comfort tuned for short casual runs and walking rather than tempo or long-distance efforts.

Fit

Adidas lists it as true-to-size with a lightweight breathable mesh upper and Ortholite sockliner, though at least one reviewer found it ran large.

Best for

Beginners and casual runners wanting an affordable, comfortable neutral shoe for short road runs and all-day walking.

Avoid if

You need a shoe for long runs, marathons, faster workouts, or want verified performance specs.
