Adidas Boost Shoes Issue

the glide gave me posterior tibilis pain and I had to return

the hagio does not do this

Odd I've run in the glide and energy boost. The glide did not last as long as the energy boost. I got like 500 miles out of the glide boost and like 650 out of the energy boost....I retired the energy boost earlier though. The cushioning was still there but because of the snowy winter I retired them for another show with better grip. I think I could have gotten like 800 or more miles on them.

Get a new pair every 2-3 months. You can purchase the old color for $79.

Being overweight is definitely the main cause for your shoes to wear out more quickly. If the Boosts are working for you for a few months I would say stick with them. You might want to buy 2 pairs at a time and rotate wearing them. They will wear out less slowly that way. If you want to try something new I would suggest getting some Hoka's

Apparently the legendary adidas quality is no longer. You should not have to buy shoes every 500 miles. Running shoes are way overpriced.

I have a pair of the boost bostons and love them. They're part of my rotation of shoes, so I'm hoping to make them last longer that way. $160 is crazy expensive for shoes.

I can't really comment on the cushioning. I'm 5'8 145

Weird - I run in the Boston Boost and the Adios Boost - and I've gotten many more miles out of them than any other shoe. I get about 450 miles out of the Adios boost 1, and my Bostons are at about 300 miles and feel great.

I've historically gotten about 200-250 max out of other shoes (Hitogami, Kinvara, Pureflow, etc)

Not being mean, but who are you people? That would be like 3 weeks for me. Dropping $160 on a pair of shoes every three weeks is ridiculous. I run ~90 and get new shoes three times a year.

I run between 60-70 mpw (when not marathon training). I agree, it's expensive. But I go through shoes fast, and if I don't replace them when they're done, I get injured. Cheaper to replace them than to go to PT. You do what you have to do.

The shoes that I get ~200 out of generally cost about ~$90. The boost shoes are pricy, but as I noted, I get good mileage out of them, so they end up being a decent deal

I hear you. I guess I spend more on beer than shoes, so maybe I should re-prioritize.

I think if your beer/shoe expenditure ratio is working for you, then you should stick with it :)

One thing to disclose is that I'm a masters runner. So I'm a bit more fragile but also advanced enough in my career to have the disposable income to buy shoes regularly.

what trainer are you using? that's remarkable milage
