Is the adidas Galaxy 7 good for beginners?

Yes. It is a neutral, cushioned shoe with a moderate 6 mm drop, which suits new runners building easy mileage. Its weight and soft foam make it less ideal for speed work.

How does the Galaxy 7 compare with the Galaxy 6?

Both are budget neutral trainers with Cloudfoam cushioning. The Galaxy 7 keeps the same everyday formula, so buy whichever is cheaper unless you want the newer upper.

What is the drop and weight of the Galaxy 7?

It has a 6 mm heel-to-toe drop and weighs about 11.3 oz in a men's sample size. Heel height is about 1.4 inches.

Does the Galaxy 7 fit wide feet?

It comes in normal width only. Runners who need extra room should size up or look at adidas models offered in wide fits.

Is the Galaxy 7 waterproof?

No. The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof, and there is no Gore-Tex version. Avoid it for wet-weather running.

Where does the Galaxy 7 sit against other budget trainers?

It offers a Cloudfoam midsole, Ortholite insole and breathable mesh at the low end of the neutral trainer market. Rivals at similar money often add a firmer foam or a grippier outsole, but few match its step-in softness.
