[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It fits comfortably, I love the style especially that the color is white. I am glad I bought them.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite Ultraboosts yet, and I have 13 pairs…all the way from the OG’s, to the 21s, 22s, and Lights. Very cushioned and responsive. I have loved them so far for my short and longer runs. The upper hugs my foot in a more secure, but comfortable way. Definitely will be purchasing more.
Make it more durable. The shoe was falling apart in less than a month of wear.
This was the best shoes ever, comfortable,great cushion and affordable price.
Won’t buy anything else other than Ultraboost!!!!!
I have been running in various iterations of the Ultraboost for many years. Honestly, the past couple of years, it took a bit to get used to the thicker-looking sole and surround. However, I think this is where a lot of performance runners are going. It's nice that Adidas keeps looking at light weight x cushion. I am a daily runner (2-3m) and run both on sidewalks and on my treadmill, depending on weather and my work schedule. I bought these in all-black for now, as some of the women's colorways don't work for me. That's just a minor preference and nothing related to the feel of the run in these shoes. :)
The Ultraboost 5X running shoes are a game-changer for both performance and style. The energy-returning Boost midsole provides unmatched comfort and responsiveness, making every run feel effortless. The Primeknit upper adapts perfectly to your foot, ensuring a secure yet flexible fit. Whether you’re hitting the pavement or running errands, the sleek design transitions seamlessly from workout to casual wear. A must-have for anyone looking for top-tier running shoes
These are the most lightweight comfortable running shoes I’ve owned! I’m in love with them. They make me excited to go running because I get to put them on! I’ve been trying different brands and kinds of running shoes over my 3 year running journey. I’m unsure why haven’t looked at Adidas sooner! Though I’ve only had them for about two weeks , I’m compelled to share my love for them. I’ll update if anything changes !
I love the Ultra Boost and wear them almost daily for workouts. I was really excited to receive this order, but unfortunately these look much more baby blue than silver or gray. Adidas — please consider making more neutral color options for women, especially true grays. Neutral tones look great with leggings, are easy to style, and pair well with everything. For some reason, women’s shoes are often released in pinks, purples, and other overly feminine colors, while men consistently get the best neutral options. Many of us want the same clean, versatile colors — just like the guys get. Thank you.
I decided to try these shoes after reading reviews of the new Asics Novablast (my regular shoes which had a lot of downer reviews by other Novablast users) and a few other shoes I have tried before. But these are not it. There is significantly less cushion and bounce than most comparable running shoes I have tried. The soles feel shallow compared to the edges, and the bottoms of my feet were sore like I was running in vans (which I have done before in airports). My feet were absurdly sweaty with the sock style even after short two-mile runs. Also, the sock style gives weird feedback while running, like you are running in flip flops. I am going to keep them for short runs, but use my older shoes for upcoming races and long runs. Really bummed because I have had great experience with Adidas trail runners.
