Customer Reviews adidas Running PureBOOST X Element

These shoes are seriously comfortable. I have very high arches, you can slide a pen under my arches like it’s a bridge. These shoes hug my arches like a good pair of socks. I’m curious if they have the same effect for someone more flat footed. There is so much cushion I feel like I’m walking on clouds but they are light as air. They do run long. I tend to be a 9 / 9-1/2 (10 if it’s a super pointy toe and high heel) and the 9’s were too long, there was 1/2 toe length left in the top of the shoe but everything else fit snug. Had to exchange for 8-1/2. Overall, these shoes both look and feel fantastic. Great purchase!

Shoe runs big, went down a half size and kept. I am already and 8.5 with a full but not wide foot, order 1/2 size down. Also, not a lot of support the front and toe area, so maybe not ideal for cross-training but perfect for walking and light exercise with plenty of air for your foot in the summer to stay cool

Beautiful and functional. Supports my non-existent arch. Faux laces, the actual shoe is a closed system, which seems to add to the comfort. Super cushioned sole. I had to return for half size down. The toe box is generous. The heel not slip. Nice "dressed up" embossed look. Very very lightweight!!

I have the adidas Running PureBOOST Xpose in my usual size 8. Liked it so much, but I wanted a grey, so I order the X Element. This X Element was huge. I had ordered the 8 as previously, and it was a size and a half large. Not sure if it was the individual shoe or a tendency of the X Elements. The style cushion and color were great. Just couldn't keep being that much over-sized. Gave five stars -- if they fit you will love them.

The fit was great! I love love these shoes! They are super stylish and I have received lots of compliments. Would buy again.

I have worn these shoes 16 days in a row and walked an average of 4 miles a day. These shoes have been perfect. Great support and really comfortable. I took the advice of previous reviewers and ordered a half size smaller than normal and they fit great.

I ordered these in the white and they fit like a glove. Size 8, wide width, i have a bunion. So, i ordered the same in Black and they are way to big, a half if not a full size. about an inch at the end of both shoes. I am sending the black pair back. Both pair hug the heel and are a big wider in the toe box which is excellent when you have bunions! Great cushion in the ball of foot area when walking as well....Luck of the draw though between the colors.

I didn't expect to like these so much, but I absolutely love them. They are incredibly comfortable and airy. They have become my go to shoes for the gym and for going to amusement parks or anywhere like that where I'll be walking around a lot. My feet don't hurt after 8+ miles in these, which is a huge perk. Not to mention that the black looks very sleek and stylish. I've gone through torrential rains in these and not been kind to them in general and they still look brand new.

Absolute FAVORITE shoe. I have this model in 4 colors (I may or may not have a shoe problem) but it truly is comfortable and supportive. It does run big though so be warned!

I love these shoes! They fit like a glove and are super comfortable with lots of support. I have arthritis in my foot and can't wear some sneakers because they don't have sufficient support. These are the best I've worn in a long time. I'm so glad I found them. They are really pretty shoes as well! What's not to like?

These are beautiful and because I own a pair in another color and pattern I purchased last year I know that they are unbelievably supportive and comfortable. However, I didn't notice that all previous reviewers showed they ran a half size large... they are correct! Returning for a half size smaller and I'm sure they'll be perfect. Thank you, Zappos for always delivering an amazing customer experience!

I love these shoes. I am glad I didn’t order a half size down. If anything a half size up might have been better for me. My feet are different sizes so one of them is a bit tight but I am hoping I can break it in.

Not enough cushioning on ball of foot, so I am returning them.

Shoe was small-comments said large fit. I have a similar style. This one the tongue is small and doesn't fit well. Returned without a problem.
