Adidas EVO SL “Trail”
Posted here a few months ago looking for a good all around shoe. Don’t run trails too often so didn’t need a dedicated trail shoe. Also run in snow so needed something that could handle the snowy sidewalks in my area. Then found a post of someone replacing their road shoe sole with a trail sole so decided to give it a try!
Had a pair of Evo SL that had a pretty worn sole since there’s not much rubber anyway and figured they’d be the perfect shoe for it. I love them on the roads and run more winter miles than trail miles so thought they’d be able to eat up winter miles.
Removing old sole was easy enough and sanding down the sole was also pretty easy. I wanted to get the Zegalite sole but couldn’t find one for less than $85 and didn’t want to wait for 2 months to get it from Hong Kong so found a Zegama set on eBay and bought them.
For the sole I decided to cut it to fit the shape instead of putting the whole sole on. Wasn’t sure the sole would stick well since the middle of the shoe indented and want to get the best adhesion as I could. Might sand the edges down a bit but honestly not sure it’s worth the effort when it won’t do anything besides look better. Heading to Colorado in a few weeks so I’ll be testing these out there and if they work well I’ll be super happy.
Wish me luck!
