Quality Is Great, Love the upper Boost feels good. Loved the Ultraboost 21 they were amazing, purchased Ultraboost 22 they were good. Ultraboost 23 light is perfect. Comfort A+ Style A+ . Quality A+
Big Ultraboost fan here but I can go between sizes and opted for a 9.5 with this one rather than a 10. The shoe fits perfectly and is super comfortable like all Ultraboost I’ve owned but there is just one design issue with the plastics that holds the laces. The top hole protrudes on the inside just above wear the fabric sock finishes and digs every so slightly into the skin. I don’t use the top lace hole to reduce the pressure but this piece of plastic needed to be shorter or the sock come up higher. If you wear crew socks it won’t be an issue. I just love no show socks. Still an awesome shoe so only lost one star!
I was so excited to try my new ultraboost light running shoes. I just tested them out for a 1 mile dog walk around the neighborhood. I'm not sure if it's my feet or what but I got a size 10.5 which is my standard choice. My left foots arch was sore from walking in them. I'm hoping they just need to be broken in. But I wish I could have tried a size 10 to test If they fit more snug to my feet. If I can't return/exchange I'll try to break them in some more and update this review if the pain stops. I don't run dude to a spinal fusion and bad knees but I walk 6-11 miles everyday on the treadmill. I prefer my Questar Adidas running shoes which are half the price almost as the ultraboost lights.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a feeling Adidas filters reviews that don't give "good" ratings so i'll give two reviews here. Ultraboost Light is FAR superior to the Utraboost 1.0 shoes. The 1.0s have an uncomfortable, padded, stitching on the under side of the, sock fitted, tongue so when I wore them it pressed down against the top of my feet giving me really bad pain. It hurt so bad my feet were hurting even after having taken my shoes off. Ultraboost Light fits perfectly and feels good everywhere around the foot. There is no unnecessary padding on the tongue; its nice and thin and hugs my foot like its supposed to.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This particular sneaker has helped with my plantar fasciitis, it has a firm heel with cushion which I thought would aggravate my heel, however it has significantly improved the pain. They are a snug shoe essentially like a compression sock for your arm or leg, which I think has benefited my foot/heel pain. They are snug so you may have to wear a size larger than you are accustomed to with other brands. Overall pleasantly & fantastically surprised, I use them for sprinting on treadmills, plyometrics and gym workouts. Been about a month with them, really impressed by them so far. Would potentially purchase more sneakers to replace as alternates.
Hi All, I have purchased this pair but unfortunately it has a huge error on the design. The hard plastic where the laces are hurt your feet. The tennis shoes hurt me and caused wounds that bled.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Ultraboost sole is soft and absorbs impact of exercise and running. They are lightweight and comfortable. I’m a huge fan of these new kicks and highly recommend them.
I have a pair of the all red 21 ultraboosts and they are super red. These (23 ultraboosts) are highlighter orange irl. picture does not match what you see in person.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is ok if you have no other choice. The quality not the top one.
These are smaller than before, tight over top of toes, and have an even worse big wad of sole cushion behind the heel strike zone (making them actually dangerous going down stairs.) The new boost is super stiff when cold so running or walking outside is hard on the knees and makes the fit even worse. Ultraboost 2K was great. Every iteration after has been successively worse, with this smaller version worst yet. Plus, sizing changes mean the mens are too large, so now if you have an EU 38 or smaller foot you’re also stuck with the butt ugly pastel colorways for girls. Last pair I will ever buy, just expensive and useless to me.
