Q1: Does the Adidas Women's Response 2 fit true to size?
A1: The model runs true to standard running shoe sizing, though it features a slightly snug toe box compared to wide-fit specialty brands. Runners with wider forefeet should consider ordering a half-size up or looking for wide-width designations to prevent lateral toe pinching.
Q2: Can this shoe handle training for a 10K or half-marathon?
A2: Yes. The firm EVA cushioning handles weekly long runs between 6 and 10 miles reliably. While competitive racers may prefer a lighter racing flat on race day, the Response 2 is fully capable of carrying runners through standard training cycles.
Q3: How does the Response 2 differ from the Adidas Duramo series?
A3: Both are budget daily trainers, but the Response series generally uses a more structured mesh upper, slightly denser rubber coverage on the outsole, and a more supportive heel counter than the minimalist Duramo lineup.
