I bought my first pair last year and loved them so much I bought 4 more in different colors. I have to receive back injections and my job requires hours on the shop floor, so I require quality footwear. First pair I bought was in an REI store. They felt night and day more comfortable than everything else I tried on. I spend 12-18 hours a day wearing these and my feet and back feel great every night. Highly recommended!
For the price had to purchase $68.00/ retail$230.00...I'm glad i did, so comfortable, durable, and lite. Mesh fabrics that allows foot to breathe. Stylish, can't go wrong. Thinking of purchasing different colors of this style.
The best parts are the waterproof function with soft flexible upper materials, and the boost/Continental sole. These make the shoes from good to almost perfect, maybe displacing my Hoka Anacapa shoes. I would recommend adidas to make these in wide widths, as most users tend to wear thick socks to hike in the outdoors. The joint between the upper and the sole sections need to be redesigned for better quality and durability, or this would have been a 5-stars rating review. Also, better color combos would really help the marketing/sales, as the nearby adidas outlet states that the Terrex shoes product line is barely on stock there due to its high-value/pricing.
The good side: Simply beautiful. These shoes are big, comfy, waterproof... and green! I live in central america and I have to deal with rainforests on a daily basis. These shoes are stylish, soft but strong enough to deal with dust, rocks, sticks and stones. I love them. I use them all day long without strains or pain. I suggest to change colors and not always make it white. The negative side: The foam on the sides, when caught on rocks, it eventually peels like an old pool noddle. Dirt gets in the holes and then its hard to clean. Also, crouching lines are permanent too, which lower the value of the shoe in a matter of weeks. Yet. I just bought another pair.
The comfort of boost is quite possible the best out there. These in particular feel more squishy than the ultra boost line maybe due to the fact of the lugs being a lot deeper. Make sure you go half size up as they do come in a little small. These boots are perfect for long hikes and are definitely waterproof. The only slight concern is how long the treat will last. Like the ultra boost range they are made from continental rubber. Incredibly grippy on roads and tracks but not known for its longevity. However I’m expecting at least a year of hard wear before the souls cause any issues
It feels like I’m on air and I have a pair of the Primes and 3s. I have but moon shoes to compare their comfort. Like walking on air. It’s precisely the same with these boots and they are actually fully waterproof I had to be in the rain and my feet remain bone dry. The Boost tech for the support was a superior. however for the price one would have liked to have had LightStrike Pro material instead just saying lol. They are extremely supportive of long term wear for sure. there is so much i can say however i mustn't ramble about. just know these shoes are perfect. 10/10
Bought these for general everyday wear because the last pairs of Terrex's were more comfortable than regular shoes. I used them for work (teacher that moves around a lot) and foremost exercising like rucking on a park trail. I live the humid South Florida and the Gore-Tex does causes sweaty feet on hot days so I change socks twice a day and use foot powder. I would recommend wool or wicking type of socks for humid climates and change them twice a day if you wearing them for up to 8 hours. Other than that, they are extremely comfortable. Sometimes I dont even tie the strings. Lastly, I love how they ride high. I called these SUV's of shoes.
Shoes upper is made of weird paper material that creases very easily. Less than 3 weeks with the shoe and already have creases in the front toe box and on the rear.
I’ve been a huge fan of the adidas boost material because it keeps my heels Crome getting sore. So when I saw the adidas made a hiking shoe with boost I was sold on the idea. I’ve worn them for about two weeks through several snow storms and they’ve been comfy, dry, and able to handle black ice. The gore-Tex is phenomenal at keeping everything dry. I’ve jumped in puddles and trudged through melting slush with no leaks whatsoever. Weather it’s walking through bad weather to class, or going for a walk on more rugged trails, this is my new go to boot. Strongly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very beautiful and very comfortable and convenient! They don't get wet and don't slip on ice. 10 of 10!
