Sorry guys, it's a shoe post. I know the differences between the shoes, I've simply not run in adidas for a while (Boston 3) and never run in Nikes. Anyone happy with their shoes? I am looking for a trainer that I can (don't make fun of me) go out to ultra distance in. I like a slightly "cushy" feel.
I have the boston boosts - they feel very unusual but I really like them. very light, very fast feeling. They do feel cushy under the heel, or even squishy. Which I really like and you might too if you want some softness under the heel.
Thanks. I loved my Boston 3s, they've become my work shoes as a matter of fact. I'll pull the trigger on one of them today, not looking good for the Nikes.

I agree, agip. The Boost shoes do feel very unusual, almost "squishy," as you say, when you walk in them. But not a bad squishy. The thing is, when you run in them, especially on a hard surface, that squishy feeling is gone, replaced by bouncy. Very strange, indeed, but I love my Supernova Glide Boost shoes a lot. The Boston Boost would probably be just as good. I really look forward to trying another Adidas Boost shoe when my Supernovas need to be replaced, but I don't see that happening nearly as quickly as I'd have to replace most other running shoes.
Boston boost is by far the best shoe I have ever run in- cushioned without any squishy feeling and bouncy. I have the Pegasus 31 as well and similar feeling- cushioned without being squishy, but less bouncy than Boston Boost and I can feel the weight difference- Pegasus being slightly heavier.
Both are great shoes.
Not sure why any brands put out squishy, energy sapping shoes, but I guess some like them.
Boston Boost are very similar to Boston 3's. Just feel a little lighter and more responsive.
I have both the Boston Boost and Supernova Boost. So, here's a short comparison.
Bostons - Much more flexible, light weight with a racing flat feel,a good amount of cushion for the type of shoe, and feel fast. Great laces too.
Supernova's - Much more stiff, heavier, more cushion especially in the forefoot vs. the Boston. Overall, more shoe.
Personally, I love the new Boston Boost. You can do everything in this shoe from tempos, recoveries, or long runs. Adidas nailed this one.
