The color, material and reflector material are amazing
Love this color combination of Aurora plum and black, and the idea of them being waterproof was very appealing... but I found them to be too oversized for my feet and ill fitting; very wide in both fit and appearance (and my feet are on the wider side of normal already) and they were too tight at the opening for my comfort. Sizing down wouldn't correct that so I unfortunately will be returning them. Reminded me of a men's fit. My honest first thought when trying these on was they looked and felt like duck feet. Waterproof duck feet. Also the shoelaces were very long and since also are waterproofed tying a single loop bow is weirdly large across the top of my foot adding to the awkwardness, in my opinion.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ultraboost 5 gtx is an excellent shoe and in fact I have it in two colour variations; however, I find the black colour not aesthetically pleasing and for this reason returning it but the structure of the shoe is excellent for both running and walking. Very comfortable, great cushioning and energy return while offering good control.
I’m a true Women’s 7 and I sized down to a 6.5 due to some of the comments stating the shoe box is a bit wide. I’m glad I did because they fit perfectly. I still have some room but it’s not too much as my normal size would’ve been. These sneakers are fire. I purchased these to wear on a regular basis.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered these in size 8.5, which is my normal size, and the toe box feels large—maybe because they’re designed for runners. I’m not using them for running, just walking around, so that part is fine, but there’s extra room at the end of the toe that makes me think I might have needed an 8 instead. I’m not sure if this model runs large. The second issue is that they’re very hard to put on. The top is constructed like a sock, so squeezing your foot in—especially with socks on—is difficult. Once my foot is inside, the fit is okay, but it’s tight across the top where the laces are. So the shoe feels big in the toe and tight across the top at the same time. Once on, they’re fine, but not as comfortable as other shoes I’ve owned because there’s no separate tongue; it’s a sock-style closure. If I had tried them on in the store, I probably wouldn’t have purchased them. Since I ordered online and they are very pretty, give good height, and look great, I’m going to keep them. But they are definitely a struggle to put on.
I didn’t like the fastenings in this shoes… there was no ability to create an ankle lock which made the shoe feel as if it wast no secure on my foot. I was so disappoint as these should have been my winter and wet weather trainers. Needless to say I returned them
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for running in snowy/slushie/icy roads, sidewalks, and trails. My feet stay completely dry and warm (I wear wool socks). I never have to worry about my shoes and the weather when planning out my running schedule in the winter season.
These just look comfortable from the picture. I ordered my normal size 4 but found them a little too snug so went for the 4.5 which was perfect. Main use for these is walking and they’re perfect, good fit sizing half up.
I have worn Adidas all my life so I love boost shoes and I decided to get a pair for my wife, she loves them! Most comfortable even for long walks (I wouldn't call them running shoes)
I am usually a 6 but these were to big for me. Have them to my wife she loves them she is usually a 6.5. Very comfortable and waterproof.
