Customer Reviews adidas Running PulseBOOST HD

I don't even know how to review this shoe. Previous reviewers noted that it runs large, so I ordered a size down. However, even at that size, it was still probably 2 sizes too large! I probably won't try to purchase again because I would have no idea which size to purchase.

Adidas has been my go to for years as the brand has always fit me perfectly. I am a true 7.5. I ordered the 7.5, too long and wide. I tried the 7 and while the length was good it still felt floppy on my feet. Too much space in the toe box. I didn’t feel secure or supported for that reason and the fact that they do not lace up far enough . It’s a shame because they had great cushioning and it’s a really nice looking shoe. it was a great looking shoe.

I wanted to LOVE these. I have a different pair of Boost and they are amazing. But the problem with these is they don't tie up far enough. They need another eyelet above the top one. They just slip slide around and are worthless for anything more than casual walking. Bummer. They are so cute and comfy otherwise.

This ran a good full size bigger I can not give a review on fit since they didn’t the show itself I like as I like a stretchy sock like material.

I wanted to love these, but I hate them and can see why they are on sale. The boost technology is great, but the slip on design is superflawed bc you can NOT lace the shoe up to tighten it. The laces stop midway down the shaft of the shoe, so you cannot tighten them closer to the ankle if that makes sense. when you do any running or HIIT work (think: mountain climbers, lunges) your foot tends to slip out of the stretchy opening since there is no way to further secure the shoe. For me, this led to overcompensating my stride bc I felt like the shoe was slipping off. I stopped wearing for intense exercise bc I was afraid of causing an injury. These would be great if the laces went further up like a normal shoe.

These are the worst sneakers I have ever owned. Absolutely no support, extremely slippery, your foot feels like it’s constantly sliding off of the sole of the shoe. They cannot be washed. Not sure what soles are made of, but once they get dirty, that stuff is not coming off. Last but not least, all kinds of dust/dirt, grass and whatever else gets into the shoe....unless you’re wearing them for a stroll around town, be ready to see really dirty feet when you wear these. Such a HUGE disappointment!

This is the first review I have written on a shoe, so that should say a lot. I love Adidas, but my recommendation is to stay clear of this shoe. Way too big and fit is all wrong. I haven't had to break in a shoe in a long time. I thought if I just stayed tough, these would break in, but as soon as I got over one foot issue, another would begin. Over a period of about two months, I experienced all of the issues other reviews mentioned. I finally gave up and bought another shoe. Wish I cold return these, but I already wore them quite a bit trying to make them work. My loss.

They were so deep the elastic around the top was so tight it pinched into my foot, I couldn't even walk out of the room with them on, they were so uncomfortable.

I can't rate these on any of the above because I couldn't even get my feet into them because the lacing wouldn't open up far enough! Also, they were so deep in the heel they cut into the back of my foot.

Runs large. I usually wear a 7 or 7 1\2, ordered a 6 1\2 and still too big. Back of heel slipped up because it ran so large and there was not enough support in the heel. I have never had to make a shoe return. I was disappointed because the shoes are attractive.

These shoes are not sized correctly. These shoes run at least one size too large. The width is for a wide foot. The laces are too low leaving your ankle not secured. The style is cute; kind of a sock like fit, only not form fitting like other shoes I’ve had with this style. I wear a size 6 but ordered a 5 1/2. Thought they would be OK for a run. Shortly into my jog my heel kept slipping and sliding around, even with the laces as tight as they would go. Unfortunately I’ve worn them once and can’t return them. I hope that Zappos advertises the shoes for wide oversized feet moving forward. Very disappointed.

Wanted to keep these so bad. They ran small in the size 12. I got excited when I saw everyone saying they run large....not so.

The tongue of the shoe is sewn into the body so it is very hard to get the shoe on. there is no pull tab at the back of the shoe which also makes it harder to get on. The length is good and it's comfortable once foot is in the shoe. Adidas has made a mistake with this style. This shoe is very homely.
