Review on Men's Maroon Adidas Ultraboost Running Active Shoes for Athletic Performance by Evan Calvert

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible support - be careful when buying for work

I've been running most of my adult life, switching between different pairs of Nikes, Asics, Brooks, etc. I read good reviews about the Ultraboost 19 and decided to give it a try at an attractive price. My first couple of runs went well, but on my third or fourth run the insole of the shoe started to move during my run. Before each run I had to slide the sole down and into position before putting the shoes on and for the first few minutes of my run the sole would slide back and gather behind the heel without supporting the forefoot or ball of the foot. Since they were brand new I figured I'd try to get them to work and tried various methods of attaching the insole before my run but none worked for me. After walking in it for 3 months, I developed plantar fasciitis in my right foot and tendonitis in my right knee. I've never experienced either before wearing these shoes. These are by far the worst running shoes I've ever bought and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone planning to do any physical activity in them.

Pros
  • satisfied with snug fit, perfect for running and great cushioning
Cons
  • Difficult to clean due to the fabric
