Review on ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Adidas Pureboost Men's Running Shoes โ€“ Black by Dustin Keller

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very comfortable but they don't last long and there is very little support.

I was a bit hesitant before buying these shoes. I'm a former runner who has now committed to walking 60 minutes on a treadmill in my senior years, but I know how good running shoes feel under my feet. When I look at decent running/hiking shoes, they start roughly at price. A selection of these Adidas Pure Boost. However, I believe that if someone buys shoes that last, they're probably going to spend $20 more than the shoes are worth. I was attracted to this shoe because of its exceptional comfort ratings. And I have to say that these are probably the most comfortable running and hiking shoes I've ever worn. However, I think sacrifices were made to make this shoe so comfortable. When you actually hold these shoes in your hand and put them on, you have the feeling of wearing pumps. You know, those shoes you wear barefoot on the water. Because the material is very thin, the shoes are very light and therefore offer extra comfort as if you were not wearing anything. However, this is the downside of these shoes. They are not built to last. Like good running shoes, they don't have the support that more expensive options offer. After wearing them for an hour a day for three months, I'm starting to feel the need to replace them. Another really annoying thing about these shoes are the laces. They are extremely long. I have to tie them 3 times before getting on the treadmill as they easily untie on their own. It's not the worst choice you can make. They are good for light exercise. However, those looking for a durable, supportive shoe should look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Boost is our most responsive cushioning ever: the more energy you put out, the more you get
Cons
  • boring packaging
