Advice for Road Runners: Speed up your 5K and 10K races with the adidas Women's Takumi Sen 10 Running Shoes. Look and feel like a pro in the Core Black/Zero Met./Spark colourway.

Underfoot Feel

The adidas Takumi Sen 10 Running Shoes feature two layers of LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam - like the Adizero Adios Pro 3 do. This results in an ultra-energetic and responsive experience. However, as the stack height in the Takumi Sen 10 is lower, they should feel more stable around corners and more responsive to changes in pace.

A fully-connected ENERGYRODS 2.0 system improves midsole stiffness and energy return. As a result, you should expect fast transitions from landing to take-off. Ultimately helping you maintain your stride rate and speed more effectively.

A combination of Continental™ rubber and light textile rubber promotes extra grip in both wet and dry conditions.

Upper Fit

As the adidas Takumi Sen 10 Running Shoes are all about making you feel fast, the upper is exceptionally light. At the same time, the upper should also make you feel supported. Especially at the ankle area - where the Adizero slinglaunch heel construction promotes great lockdown.

Ideal Run Type

Stride length and stride frequency are the two components of speed. The adidas Women's Takumi Sen 10 Running Shoes should help you maintain your stride rate with more ease - therefore helping you run faster.

This ultra-light and responsive midsole should feel best in shorter distance events, such as 5K and 10K. Although, given the level of protection on offer, these could also feel very good for half marathon racing.

Sizing Advice 

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
