Just bought these and my first few runs in them have felt absolutely amazing. They're light and responsive and yet have the perfect amount of cushioning. And they're extremely versatile; good for any run (tempos, speed work, easy runs, long runs).

Agreed- best shoe I've ever used as well.
I have to disagree. For trainers, the Newton energy nr 1.
For racing flats, the Saucony A5.
I saw them yesterday when I was at the Adidas store. They look nice. I was picking up the Adios Boost 2.0; I was really interested in the new EVA (or whatever it is) they are using in the whole line. It looks like styrofoam.
I will post my impressions on them in a few weeks. I was formerly a Adizero Pro wearer (loved them) and hope these work as well or better for me.
They're really great. They're actually a thermoplastic foam rather than EVA.
Tried them on yesterday and wanted them to work, but they are extremely narrow. Most shoes are made too narrow, but Adidas takes it to a different level. It's hard to understand how shoe manufacturers keep making shoes that aren't the same shape as our feet.
I also like mine so far, though it's only been 2 runs. 50 minutes and 60 minutes, both on roads. Both felt good.

That's weird because my feet are on the wider side and I didn't feel like they were too narrow. I felt like the Adios Boost 2 were much more narrow.

I'll agree that they are narrow - which is nirvana for me - I can't wear normal width shoes from Nike, brooks etc. They are all too wide.
Lord, for my sake, please let Adidas keep making narrowish shoes.
I could see stuffing the closet with Boston Boosts - they are just great shoes. Sort of like the NB 1400 - just a simple, light shoe with a wedge of foam. No tricks. Altough the boost itself is better than EVA, IMHO.
Agreed- best shoe ever- I have very narrow feet- my worry is that future iterations will be widened because of all the complaints by wider feet people-. such as what happened with the Kinvara 5. Nothing's worse than your foot swimming in a shoe. It too bad more shoes don't come in various widths- must not be economical.
