Customer Reviews adidas Running UltraBOOST ST

My review is pretty particular to my own needs, which are driven by me having plantar fascia in one foot and metatarsalgia (sounds worse than it is) in the other foot. My primary excitement about these shoes comes from being able to wear my true size 11 and still fit my doctor-prescribed orthotics into the shoes. Mind you, I still think that these shoes felt true to size, in that the reasons they still fit with my orthotics is the soft mesh fabric in the toe box, as well as the tongue booty enclosure that is not too confining. When I put them on out of the box (original insole) I immediately thought, this is my size. And, after experimenting with both the 11.5 and 11 sizes, I was very pleasantly surprised that the size 11 works out. With these Adidas Ultra Boost, being able to wear my correct size really allows me to experience the full "boost" in stride, as well as the snug fit that people without foot issues are able to experience regularly with new shoes. I actually look forward to walking now (and hopefully running again soon) and these shoes have reinvigorated me to do some medium impact cardio at the gym. The other part that I rate highly is the Adidas branding which I strongly prefer over Nike (just a personal preference) so I was extremely happy that these work given I've never really tried Adidas running shoes before. Very pleasant surprise. I would have given the shoes a 5 out of 5, except I do have to forfeit wearing athletic socks (which I find really add to comfort) in order to accommodate the orthotics. Again this might be no fault of the shoe, but rather my particular foot needs. Also, I docked another half point for the ride (while running) not being quite as fun as back when I would wear Nike Air Max shoes (which by the way, have become in my opinion too snug to the point where I can't wear my normal size 11 with my orthotics any longer). The Air Max do hold a place in my heart, as they are clearly the most fun (bouncy and comforting) shoes I've ever run in, and these Adidas Boost are in the same ballpark but noticeably not quite on the same level in my opinion. Overall, I'm very excited and relieved to own these shoes and would recommend to anyone. Really brings the fun back to walking and working out.

Super comfortable. I have these more for walking around and not so much for running. Great style with easy on and off without having to tie the laces

Fit true to size. I usually wear New Balance running shoes so this may be a tad more narrow than the NB I usually wear, but not too much of a difference. I put a thicker insole in the shoe for more support as I always do and it is still roomy enough. I have only been able to take these out for one run due to an injury I got before the shoe, but I look forward to seeing if they are able to hold up over a couple months without me getting shin splints. As those of you who wear stability shoes know, usually the shoes we get to choose from are less fashionable than those designed for neutral runners. That is definitely not the case for these as these look awesome. I hope Adidas continues to make cool looking shoes for those of us who need help with overpronation!

Very comfortable shoe to walk around in all day.

Like walking on a cloud. Was a size 13 but feet have been getting bigger with age! Ordered a 13 and a 14 -kept the 14.
