I'm new to running, and so far I've only gone up to around 5km. I haven't tested these on longer distances yet, but for shorter runs and daily training, they've been absolutely perfect. I read a lot of reviews before choosing these shoes, and I'm really glad I did! Many runners recommend going half a size up for running shoes, so I followed that advice-and it worked out great. Once I tighten the laces, they feel super secure and just right for running. There's plenty of cushioning from the midfoot to the heel, and it gives a stable, supported feel. The cushioning is firm in a good way-it offers great support without feeling stiff. I'd definitely recommend these as daily trainers for regular runs!
I was looking for a running shoe that was comfortable and well cushioned. It fits great I always take a half size up from normal size in a trainer. The width is perfect and fits exactly how they should. Slightly narrow but your foot feels comfortable. My last trainer was giving me blisters as was too wide. The most I've ran in them is half marathon and my feet felt ok, a little tired. Definitely 5-10k my feet felt great and had more bounce in them. I would recommend them for being comfortable and well cushioned. If you were to have them on your feet all day these would be great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable shoes can walk longer than before.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes have some bounce that is fun, but they are also stable. The high level of comfort makes them ideal for longer mileage running.
I get super sore ankles from some old injuries and am happy that these shoes are super comfortable with good, but not restrictive stability. I’m pairing these with some sports compression socks and I am experiencing less pain from the old injuries and a faster recovery time post exercise. I did also use these without compression socks and they were sooooo comfy and definitely helped with the pain, but pair them with the socks and mega helpful!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has to be the most perfect pair of shoes that I have ever had!!! They were totally awesome straight out of the box. No breaking in was necessary and they are SO comfortable and fit like a glove. I have always been attracted to the style of Adidas sneakers and I have gotten a lot of positive comments on them. Get these!! You won't be sorry.
I wore these for the first time on a run but had to switch to walking because they felt unstable. While I do appreciate how lightweight they are, that’s really the only positive. There’s no arch support, and the heel design causes my foot to roll outward in an unnatural way, which made them uncomfortable and not suitable for high-impact activity.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been buying ultraboost 5 for myself. The reviews were positive for the supernova 2. Thought I would try these and I really liked the color of this pair with the indigo. I have a high instep and like that they tie. The molded, stretchy styles are sometimes too tight. I like them for workouts. The cushioning for me is great.
These shoes exceeded my expectations. They’re extremely comfortable from the first wear, with great cushioning and support for all-day use. The fit is true to size, and the materials feel durable and high quality. They also look stylish and pair well with almost any outfit. Definitely worth the purchase!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 2nd pair. The soles of the first pair wore thin after 2.5 months of wearing (average of 5 miles/day walking). Liked the fit so went for a 2nd pair. After two weeks the heals are showing wear on the outside edges. Not happy and will make every effort to get another style of brand shoe.
