Hello all,
Could anyone give me some advice on sizing for Adidas Kanadias please?
I usually run in mudclaws but thought I might try some Kanadias for trail use. How do the sizings for Kanadias to Mudclaws compare please? I'm a size 12 Mudclaw.

Never had Mudclaw's but I'm a regular size 10 and have just (yesterday) bought size 10 Kanadia 7's
Hope that helps mate
Cheers - sounds like they fit the usual size 10 then. I'll go for a size 12.Quote:

I have heard other people say that. Maybe the current ones are more equally sized?Quote:

Maybe they've changed the last - that happens.
I'd recommend trying on first.
I'm an 11 in everything except for adidas trainers in which I am always a 12.
i've always found kanadias at least a size too small
Agree that Kanadia sizing always *used* to be small, but the latest version (7) seems to be a complete redesign of the shoe, and the sizing now seems normal. I have size 7 in Mudclaws and size 7 in Kanadias is now OK for me.
I was surprised as well, to be honest...I always used Adidas football boots and used to buy 10.5 but these seem fine? Maybe a total re-model as some have said.
Will be interesting to see if the same happens with the rest of their range.
Just checked - my most recent Kanadias are version 6, so my info could be out of date.
Yep agreed, had Kanadia 5's in size 9 (im a size 8 in inov8) and bought some Kanadia 7's in a 9 online (think they were on offer for £28) and they were way too big. Sent them back, an 8 would have been perfect but they were out of stock.
Thanks for info - by the look of them they do seem completely revamped. Hope they seem ok.Quote:

Grip is similar to before, they're no Mudclaw but that's not what they're intended for. A great all-rounder for road-trail-fell, especially for £40 !
Have to agree - just done about 10.5 miles in them in very wet conditions, running over everything possible - grass, mud, stone, wet rocks, wet cobbles, tarmac...a bit slippery on wet rock, but what shoe isn't? spot on everywhere elseQuote:

However, the heel cup is pretty deep and can accommodate another insole/orthotic on top if you wanted. Seem OK.
Wish I'd seen this before ordering a new pair (version 7). I ordered my usual (for Kanadias) size 6.5 and they are both too long and too wide - and from where I am sending them back is not a viable option. Not really an update of the Kanadia but a very different shoe. Still good, apart from the sizing but a bit misleading.
Has anyone tried the Kanadia version 8? Size-wise is it like version 7 or like earlier versions? Can anyone recommend comparable alternatives? - currently I'm mostly having to run on dirt roads which turn very slick (clay) after rains, so staying upright is my main concern.
