Deceiving images are not representing the color of the shoe accurately. Besides the color discrepancies, the fit is off for me. Toe box is narrow. Overall, I'm disappointed with this ultraboost model. The market is saturated with alternatives and there are much better fitting and performing shoes in this price range.
Excellent shoes. I bought them for long walks, for training, or just for visiting places that require walking long distances. They're great. Very comfortable and very light. They fit just right, but if you want a little more mileage, go up a half size. It depends on your intended use.
This are the most fitted and comfortable shoes I ever purchased. Also for the price the quality is not there. The three stripes are already coming of ( three weeks wearing them). The black colour of the outside sole is peeling off
Just two months of wear and these things are falling apart at the bottom like crazy. I've never seen shoes break down this quickly before in my life and I didn't notice how bad it was until today. I don't even do anything intense of them. I just do a lot of walking and moving around at my retail job. Unacceptable given the price these things are. It's a shame cuz the shoe itself is super comfortable but these won't last that long if this is happening already.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My last ultraboost was the 22 from a year and a half ago . I t had caged lacing and hurt my instep . This new shoe no longer has caged lacing and feels good in my high instep . The length is good and feels true to size . I wear men`s 6.5 . It is a quiet shoe with decent cushioning . I have only had it about a week and am still evaluating the width although I think it is more roomy than the last ultraboost but not as roomy as the new supernova rise 2 which I also just purchased . I no longer run but use the stair climber and walk a lot .
Ultra boost completely split apart in less then one month of light usage. It only took ONE real run for the shoes to fall to bits. TRASH. 🗑️
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these for work, Very comfortable and easy on my feet.
I have 2 pairs of grey and both rights are a little bigger. Thats the only problem that I found
The Hype is Real! I finally invested in a pair of Ultraboost shoes, and I can say they absolutely live up to their reputation. The Boost midsole is a game-changer; the energy return you feel with every step is incredible. It makes my runs feel more responsive and less strenuous, whether I'm doing a quick 5k or a longer training session. The cushioning is plush without feeling mushy, providing fantastic impact absorption. The Primeknit upper feels like a sock, fitting snugly and comfortably around my foot while still being breathable. Beyond running, they are hands-down one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn for just walking around all day. They also have a sleek, modern design that looks great. If you're a runner looking for a top-tier shoe that delivers on performance and comfort, the Ultraboost is definitely worth it.
I would recommend if you are looking for shoes either for casual running or on a daily basis.
