Majority of the reviewers found the Adidas Cloudfoam Pure to be very comfortable.
The sock liner consists of cloud foam memory that molds when wearing the shoe for comfort and cushioning. Its upper uses an elastic mesh construction.
The Cloudfoam memory sock features unique technology which ensures that the sock molds to your foot and fits perfectly. This feature adds to the comfort and soft fit, allowing your running shoes to fit securely to the shape of your feet. It also increases hygiene.
