This was a very promising shoe. I tried it on and it fit excellently except for one thing. I usually wear a size 12 1/2 in Adidas running shoes. The width on this shoe was perfect but the length was more like a 14. Too much space in front of my toes. Maybe I got an anomaly or a pair mis-sized. Maybe a 12 would have fit me better. I just didn't want to take the chance of ordering another pair.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m officially sold on the Solarboost 5! Going forward it will be my running/ gym shoe. The comfort level is incredible and the fit is true to size. I am beyond impressed with this shoe and everything it brings to the table. I would’ve gone back and purchased another pair but unfortunately they were sold out. Yes I was that satisfied with them. Great job Adidas!
ADIDAS has a unique conversion of MENS to WOMENS sizes , generally I order 8.5 MENS and 10 WOMENS , this shoe was TOO BIG with extra room at the toe, but everything else would’ve been perfect (ie: comfort, width, style) had the shoe fit properly … ADIDAS should really work on communicating that MENS is 2 sizes instead of the standard 1.5 different from WOMENS
I absolutely love this version of the shoe. I have the last version as well and while that one is still great, this upgraded version of solarboost is just amazing and beyond my expectation. It’s really light, bouncy, super comfortable and i feel like i want to wear it all the time. True to size as well !! Great job adidas!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Massive improvement over the Solarboost 4. I love how much more plush the shoe is (reminiscent of the Solarboost 19) yet still plenty light with the new version of boost. Awesome for putting in tons of miles and keeping the legs fresh
The shoe gives me some slight pain in the toes, so I think it might be a poor fit or just not broken in yet. Some of these things you can't know until after a few runs, but I wish I could have tried one size larger.
I have flat and wide Feet. So these fit perfect and I will say I was nervous about them at first but they support my 330lbs. Highly recommend so my big boys out there go get em
These shoes are very comfortable and the sizing is perfect. I know these are a running shoe but I'm wearing them as a lifestyle shoe because of the cushioning.
As a lover of the Adidas brand, this shoe is a must have. It is light, comfortable, stylish, and accommodates a wide foot. The color scheme is awesome.
Firmer when standing all day then I could take a very lighter bounce foam which is good. Heading in the right direction.
