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.] Look great. After 1 week, still pinch a bit at top of foot. Make feet feel sweaty, even when wearing quality running socks.
[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.
[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.
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)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in the PacificNW and these are amazing winter running shoes. All the support and cushion AND water resistant. No more wet feet!
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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are very comfortable and work well in the rain. I got to try them out yesterday in the rain and was pleased with how they work.
Ultraboost GTX for running - with the Goretex for rainy days. Comfortable cushioned and Defo would reccomend.
