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.
They may be the most comfortable pair of shoes I've purchased, but they are ruined. They are unbelievably cheaply made for the price. Within 2 months the cheap foam sides of the soles have flaked off in massive chunks. Leaving obvious pure white on my shoes that are meant to be all black. I'll never buy from adidas ever again. Do not buy these if you intend to actually wear them to do literally anything as they will fall apart immediately.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fit, style, and comfort. Unfortunately after just two weeks of wear the insole of my left shoe started slipping to the point where it would reach my ankle. So every 5 minutes I had to stop and adjust the insole. Unfortunately I'm now overseas on assigment which makes it burdensome to return/exchange the product. I'll need to find a hack to fix the issue or buy another pair of shoes. I was surprised and dissapointed given I had never experienced quality issues with Adidas products in the past.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use them for walking and and gym. They are extremely comfortable but still quite stable compared to competitors shoes.
Look and feel great! But...the soles just crack and split open in random spots. They need to go back to the lab and come up with some better foam. Note: they will only give you a "gift card" on defective shoes, not a refund!!
These shoes are very comfortable and lightweight, making them perfect for everyday wear. The design is simple yet stylish, with a modern look that matches well with casual outfits. The cushioning provides good support for long hours of walking, and the breathable material keeps your feet cool. Overall, they are a great choice for both comfort and style.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Adidas shoes and purchase many pairs of ultraboost running shoes. I'm disappointed because the shoe insoles do not stay in place and shift within the shoe. This is uncomfortable and frustrating. With this most recent purchase, the insole slid out during my first run. This causes my toes to rub in the front of the shoe and the insole slides up my heal. Even after repositioning the insole, it will immeidately slide once I start running/walking. This has happened with the last 4 ultraboosts I have purchased over the past year. I love these shoes, but I just can't wear them anymore. I will be returning the shoes and switching to a new brand.
