Some think adidas Terrex is part of adidas running, but it's actually a brand working independently, though they can benefit from synergies with adidas running, primarily collaborating with professional runners to create the best shoes possible.

When you see the names of adidas Terrex shoes , note two things. First, the category: Agravic, Speed, or Soulstride. Second, the type: Pro, Ultra, or Flow.

If you're confused, I understand. You've had six strange words thrown at you, but soon it'll all make sense.

Let's start with the three categories.

adidas Terrex - Agravic, Speed & Soulstride

Agravic shoes are for maximum protection. They have a regular fit, suitable for technical terrain, but their main purpose is to shield you from sharp rocks typically found in mountainous areas. If you need durable shoes, look no further than the Agravic series.

Next up are the Speed shoes. They're lighter with a narrower fit, designed for speed and technical running.

The last category is Soulstride. Here, you get maximum comfort with a wider fit for prolonged comfort. It's a category made for wide forest trails and gravel roads.

adidas Terrex Agravic Pro

The first shoe I'll talk about is the adidas Terrex Agravic Pro. Made with top technologies, it features BOA lacing, a very durable upper, Continental rubber, a sock-like construction, and a Pebax plate that propels you forward and protects you, while keeping the shoes agile and not too stiff.

Agravic Pro is for runners needing a shoe for technical or mountainous terrains and wanting the very best.

adidas Terrex Agravic Ultra

All shoes named “Ultra” are made for longer distances and feature a BOOST midsole. Agravic Ultra is the best trail shoe that adidas Terrex offers if you need a shoe that can handle both technical terrain and long distances. This shoe combines BOOST and Lightstrike in the midsole, a PEBAX plate for protection and stability, and a Continental outsole.

So if you reside in areas with many technical trail sections and need a training shoe for that, or you want the most versatile trail shoe for ultrarunning, Agravic Ultra is the right choice for you.

adidas Terrex Speed Pro

The Speed series focuses on agility, lightness, and speed. The first thing you'll notice is the lower numbers on the side. Some think it's the model name, but it's actually the shoe's weight in sample-size (EU 42.5). adidas Terrex Speed Pro is extremely light, fast, and has a narrower fit, making it ideal for quick runs in technical terrain or short races. These shoes are made for those prioritizing speed!

adidas Terrex Speed Ultra

If you want more comfort but still want to be quick, then look for adidas Terrex Speed Ultra. Speed Ultra is a fun shoe, especially for adidas fans who loved the old Boston . As mentioned earlier, adidas Terrex collaborates with athletes to develop their shoes, and one of these athletes loved the old Boston so much that they made a shoe for him.

This is a Boston 7 made for trail running, with a more structured upper and a full Continental trail outsole. If you want something fast and agile, yet with enough cushioning for longer runs, this is the way to go.

adidas Terrex Soulstride Flow

The new adidas Terrex Soulstride Flow is next on our list. It's the first shoe in the Soulstride series and is made with a wider fit, making it more comfortable, but less suited for technical terrain. Soulstride Flow is the perfect shoe for training in the forest, on gravel roads, or general trails with flow.

The midsole features Repetitor foam, also found in adidas Adistar shoes , combined with a midsole rocker geometry that makes trail running easy and fun. It's called flow for a reason.

adidas Terrex TrailRider Gore-Tex

Finally, we've added a shoe that doesn't fit into the categories or other types. adidas Terrex TrailRider Gore-Tex. It's based on the Agravic series and is very durable and versatile, suitable for a bit of everything, without getting wet feet.
