Leather versus mesh

Duanington

Picked up a pair of leather adidas adios recently and while the feel fine so far, its the first time I've had a leather pair of runners to run in.

I suppose the obvious drawback is that they don't "breath" as easily ( which I can't say I've noticed yet though).

Anyone got an opinion either way on this one?

( I'm toying with using the Adios for DCM )

I'd assume the leather is heavier as well? Can't imagine they'd handle the rain too well either. They sound horrible in my head tbh, got a link?

They feel pretty light to me actually - I feel like I should hate them ...but I don't !

I have two pairs of those, in that colour - my favouritist shoe in the world. I use them for speed work, races and general going out and about.

How do you find the boost system generally? Does it work?

I have to say, I like it in general Murph, there are pretty big variances across the range but there is deffo something different about any of the boost runners I use, I've stuck with it for around a year now
