The shoes are Adidas Duramo Speed 2, a perfectly decent budget running shoe that I picked up for about 50€. It serves me fine for runs up to about 16km.

The one thing that bugged me was the gross sticky feeling of the insoles. So I tore those out and replaced them with the still really nice insoles of my recently retired Altra Escalante Racers. They fit well, and it feels like an instant upgrade!

Adidas are size 14 (US). The Altras were size 13.

I misread 50€ as 50c and was utterly shocked.
