Adidas Boston Boost sole

Not a big guy either, but big for a runner- 160 lbs. I have run over 300 on this shoe- mid heal striker. No tear in rubber. My favorite show ever

The Boston Boosts are incredible.

I'm about 250miles into my first pair as a marathon clydesdale (165 lb.), mid-striker, and have had to no problems.

I wish they would just slap an aggressive tread and upper on these babies and turn them into trail runners. Big fan of Adidas but their new trail offering is far too clunky.

I'm on my second pair of Boston Boosts and I have noticed the rubber wearing away a little faster on the second pair for whatever its worth. I got around 550 miles on my first pair and now have about 300 on the second. Favorite shoe so far this year. I would suspect supergluing it back on wouldn't hurt

I had the Black Boston Boost shoe, but they were not very flattering with my shaved legs. I switched to the New Balance 880 now.

If I am 165 am I considered a Clydesdale? Holy smokes, maybe I need to diet. I still run sub 2:35. I am only 6'0", too, which means I am not even that tall.

I am still way thinner than all of my friends. Way thinner. Seems weird to call me a Clydesdale. I raced around 145 in college, but I was anorexic and had to go to counseling.

Back to body dysmorphia. Sigh...

Are any of you Boston Boost users people who were already wearing the Boston before the Boost midsole was added? I'm using the adiZero midsole and can't find many reviews actually comparing it to the old shoe, as in whether fit, feel, offset, flexibility, and those things are similar or different.

I do agree, though, that adidas might have stumbled upon a midsole that outlasts its outsole by a large margin.

Are there weight classes for running?! I'm also a sub 2:40 guy, but 6'2" 175... I find the naming hilarious actually, and I'm just overall curious

Hopefully it's only a matter of time before Adidas 'Boost' up their trail offerings.

In the meantime there's the Energy Boost 2 ATR - waterproof upper and a half way outsole between road and trail

I disliked pre boost adidas- too firm. I think most people that liked pre boost adidas Boston and adios are not fans of the boost updates
