Did you know that Adidas makes two DHB Steroid products? The first is the Adidas Hockenblade. The second product is called the 55. The two products are similar but different enough that one would have to wonder if they are even close to being identical. Since these two products are the same, who would we believe?
I can tell you that these two products are not the same but I will not tell you which one is the better option. In a nutshell, the two products perform the same. However, there are some differences you should know about. One of the differences is that Hockenblade is easier to use than Adrenalin. There is more detailed information on the two products on this website.
You would think that the two would be exactly the same but the truth is that Hockenblade is easier to adjust for, especially for beginning athletes or for people who are new to spinning class. This is because you do not want to accidentally twist your ankle when jumping. Hockenblade is easier to wear in public because it does not have the strap that you see on the other shoe, it just slides on your foot like a regular sneaker.
The thing with Hockenblade is that it is harder to get around when you are tired and have been doing the same routine for a while. When you are using an ATHS steroid like Adidas makes their Hockenblade it would be easy to slip on and off. Also, the material is different between the two. It would be hard to clean between the two.
The main difference between the two is that the Adidas makes a much lighter product. The other companies do not produce a lighter boot, at least not compared to Hockenblade. I have seen other sandals made by other companies, but they were nowhere near as light as the Hockenblade. I also noticed that they cost almost the same. The only real difference in price would be if you bought the ATHS version of the shoe which costs about twice as much as the prescription version.
I would recommend these shoes to anyone who is looking for a good ankle support. I also recommend them for any type of athlete that needs support for their knees, hips and feet. If you are doing high impact sports like running, basketball and soccer then you will definitely want to get a good pair. They are available at most sports stores.
