Is the adidas Response 2 good for beginners?

Yes. The neutral ride, 8 mm drop and soft cushioning make it forgiving for new runners building mileage. It is less suited to speed work.

How does it compare with the original Response?

The Response 2 keeps the neutral, cushioned approach and updates the upper and midsole for a softer, more modern ride. It remains an everyday trainer rather than a performance shoe.

Does it fit true to size?

Most owners say it fits true to size in normal width. Runners between sizes or with wide feet may want to try a half size up.

No. The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof, and there is no Gore-Tex version. It suits dry roads and fair weather.

What is the drop and cushioning?

It has an 8 mm heel-to-toe drop with Cloudfoam EVA cushioning and extra forefoot padding. That suits most neutral runners.

Can I use it for walking or the gym?

Yes. The cushioned, neutral design works for walking and light gym sessions as well as easy runs.
