Expert Review Sources

  • Journal du Trail / Trail Session : 89.3 / 100 — « Across our trail & montagne testing on trail, the Adidas Terrex Speed Ultra combines durable upper protection, lateral stability, and consistent underfoot filtering (258 g). A smart choice for runners looking for a 8.2 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • OutdoorGearLab : 83.4 / 100 — « Built by Adidas around the Adidas proprietary foam midsole, the Terrex Speed Ultra holds its own against top trail & montagne rivals thanks to its resilient Adidas proprietary foam platform. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on trail make it a standout contender at $180. »
  • RunRepeat : 81.6 / 100 — « I discovered that most trail runners haven't been very keen on adidas trail shoes. They seemed like an afterthought given that the brand's focus was admittedly on sneakers and soccer cleats. But then the adidas Terrex Speed Ultra arrived. It performed so well out on the trails that even I have chosen it as my go-to. »
