Extremely comfortable to walk in all day at work. Like walking on a cloud but with a bounce or boost in your step!

I do not recommend this shoe with the white sole as it is almost impossible to clean if it gets gets dirty or is stained by anything--I've owned many white shoes and shoes with white soles in the past and I ended up having to prematurely toss this pair because of this problem. I tried everything. Re-purchased with the blue oxide sole and so far so good.

I looked at these for a long time and decided to order, when I received them, the sides have big plastic coverings. They were very comfortable, maybe a little big but I ordered a larger size. If not for the plastic, would probably order a size down, has to go back
I'd also recommend:
Asics, New Balance

These Ultraboosts were SUPER cute, but didn’t provide enough of a “scoop” for my ankle to fit without rubbing uncomfortably. I’ m bummed!

I loved the style and the colors. It felt very good once I put it on, but my ankle got blistered on both feet. I couldn’t rotate the ankle freely without pain and blisters. I couldn’t even walk, let alone running. I tried them on with long socks and I felt a bit better but still couldn’t walk without getting blisters. The same happened to my husband with his new pair.

Am normally a huge adidas fan, but the stitching on top of the foot where the toes meet the shoe is very uncomfortable and causes a lot of friction despite the shoe feeling big. Not my favorite shoe.

The size was perfect , however the side came up too high and rubbed my ankle bone.

Clunky, oversized shoe. The inside of my heels hit one another when I walked with these. They were also a bit scratchy, just didn't feel comfortable.

It was really hard on my heel. I think I would like something softer on my foot.

My husband loved these shoes but the Adidas swipes on the side were plastic and didn't allow for much "wiggle room" and felt very tight on his foot.

I returned the shoes. When I saw what they looked like in person, I could not wear them. That is a terrible style, with that big chunky heal. I love Adidas and have a different pair of Ultra boost that I love. I thought about keeping them for work because of comfort but couldn’t get passed the style.

I couldn't manage walking around in these shoes in my house. I have small/narrow feet, but that back was so tight, it dug into my achilles. No go. Going right back. I haven't read that comment yet, but I don't know how anyone can wear these with as tight as they are in the achilles.

these shoes are cute but they didn't work out for me the fabric by the toes is too stretchy thus not good to run in ,also you can see my toes' imprint and they run about 1/2 size big,so it wasn't due to tightness

I don’t understand the positive reviews. These are UGLY. Wide and extremely clunky. The heel looks especially weird.

Zero comfort. Not worth the money spent. ADIDAS ULTRABOOST is supposed to be top of the line walking shoe. Pffft. Save your money. Don't buy!

You sent the wrong color! Some times I hate dealing with this company. You put something in your shopping cart thinking it’s what you want and the website puts the wrong size in or the wrong color. Have to double check your cart. This time I did order the right color, right size and I was sent the wrong color. This was a Christmas gift that I guess my daughter in law won’t get!!

The shoe is too small, and the service is even more minuscule. The seams along the edge of the ankle are too prominent. I know this from the person I sold your undersized shoes on to. I reported my product and services experience on to you earlier. No response. Duh.

I have been an ultraboost devotee for years I have worn several pairs and have comfortably walked hundreds of miles in them. The padding around the back of the ankles wore out in these ultraboost 21 sneakers after a little over 2 months of use. Without that padding, friction causes abrasions on my ankles. I'm not an ultramarathon runner, just a gal who strives for 7,000 steps a day and ONLY wears her walking sneakers (these) on walks. Further, upon contacting customer service, I was disappointed that adidas stood by the quality of these shoes by saying that the damage reflected regular wear and tear and was not covered by the warranty. In the future, I definitely won't be buying sneakers that are not made to last.

Color name and picture does not match the actual color of the shoe. Description states hazy rose, but actually color is a hot pink. Would return but to much of a hassle considering a return label did not arrive with the shoes in the box. Really disappointed with the shoes color and how they are described online and appear in the pictures and what they looked like when they arrived. Quality and fit are great like all my other ultra-boosts but can't get over the bright surprisingly distinct bright color.

I have 2 pairs of the Ultraboost 20 and love them. The construction on this shoe is terrible. The plastic on the adidas stripes is not attached to the fabric of the shoe. It bunches (folds over) on the sides and digs into my feet. It is also very hard to tighten the laces. I cannot return since it has been past 30 days. Hoping cs reads this and reconsiders, I can't wear them.

I've worn adidas runners for years. These size small. I had them in the car before work and had to wear them as I work in a hospital. Unable to return them after that. Shouldn't have trusted the sizing.

Although I do love the style, I am greatly disappointed with this product. I had purchased these as I'm going back into running after a knee injury, though wearing them has now led to several bruises and blisters around my heels. I have attempted to break them in for several weeks now (wearing two pairs of thick socks, etc.), though it seems the plastic at the back continues to dig into my foot. This causes a lot of pain when running or walking, and has even rubbed off my skin on the insides of my heels (both feet). Unfortunately, I was so content with how they looked, I immediately disposed of the box and return label, not knowing that they would continue to be uncomfortable for several weeks. I would not recommend these, especially at such a high price-point.
