If you like a really thin sole that gives you a lot of board feel the Adidas Tactical ADV might not be the boot for you. Even the soft cushy sole doesn’t seem to hinder response. Even better it lasts for a long time before becoming more medium response. The Adidas Tactical ADV has great response that matches the flex. I had to also lace the top tighter than I would like to keep the liner from breaking open. Even worse I had to stop and re-do my liner. It broke open a lot on a toe side turn and it really threw me off my game a lot. Some others in our crew love the Gold Level liner but it almost broke Nick and I last year.Īnother issue is the Velcro in the Gold Level Liner of my 2020 model (same as 2021). Those that don’t hike, split or drift a lot might not have this issue but can’t say for sure. The one thing is Nick and I did not like how the rough inner liner around the ankle caused blisters if you hike, Drift Board or Split Board it made your heel sore and we had really big blisters all year. It still isn’t like Focus BOA that double wraps around your ankle but it does a good job. It does a pretty good job holding your ankle in place for traditional lace. Its easy in but holds you in place when you lift it up. The Adidas Tactical ADV liner has some pretty aggressive J-Bars and a very rough material that is kind of like shark skin. Even after 120+ days on my 2019 with the silver level liner the Adjustability/Heel Hold That being said this boot lasted a really long time for me. Everyone can wear out a boot differently depending on how you ride and how hard you crank it down. The Adidas Tactical ADV is still a really well built boot and even more long lasting with the Gold Level Liner. It also works better than some wide boots when it comes to accommodating wider footed riders. The 8.5 is a little too tight and the 9 a touch too big. With the 2018 & 2019 Adidas Tactical ADV, I used to fit an 8.5 like a true size 9 but now with the 20 boots I feel in between sizes.

I did get around 50+ days with the 2020 model (same as 2021) before switching back to the 2019 model with the silver level liner due to foot pain. Tried it on in the house and the pain in the heel was too much to try and ride it.
