Best of the Best
adidas Performance Ultra Boost

Bottom Line

The Ultra Boost is a solid running shoe, and the tongue-less design improves comfort. We recommend going up at least a half size for a better fit.

Pros

No tongue, so friction is reduced during runs. Strong ankle support. Comfortable enough for all-purpose walking or running.

Cons

Uppers require long break-in period. Some consumers report receiving fakes or knock-offs, so be sure you receive the real Adidas brand. Sizing can be challenging.

Bottom Line

The Stan Smith sneaker is a classic (or retro) Adidas model many customers remember wearing. Just as fashionable as it is functional, but also comfortable and durable.

Pros

Classic design, can be casual or sport shoe. High quality leather upper. Wide range of colors available.

Cons

Arch support is lacking, unlike originals. Fit is true to size, but narrow. Beware of fakes and knock-offs.

Bottom Line

Runners and walkers who prefer well-ventilated shoes without socks will like the Rocket Boost. The energy recovery and spring are excellent, but the fit can be narrow. Good for indoor exercise.

Pros

Great energy return and "bounce". Well-ventilated, sockless running possible. Lightweight and ideal for treadmill running.

Cons

Does not repel water well (better on dry surfaces). Not ideal for cold weather conditions. Narrow fit in true size.

Bottom Line

If a lightweight running shoe that also works well as a work or exercise shoe appeals to you, then the Solar Boost is one to consider. Sizing can be challenging, but customers say the right fit feels like wearing bedroom slippers.

Pros

Exceptionally lightweight and comfortable, good spring. Works as a stylish casual shoe. Popular cardio work-out model.

Cons

Not as supportive in the arch or ankle as other models. Sole can become separated from upper. Wet weather can be problematic with treads.

Bottom Line

These are modern reproductions of a classic Adidas design, and they have retained most of the original elements. A bit noisy, but fashionably "old school" style.

Pros

Fashionably retro, but still a sport shoe at heart. Comfortable but snug fit. Good support for high arches.

Cons

Suede does not handle wet conditions well. Stiff rubber sole is noisy while walking. Thin plastic tongue, not soft leather or suede.
