Alternative mileage shoe to the Adidas Ultra Boost

Asics Nimbus and Mizuno Enigma would be good options.

Thanks. Any thoughts/experience with Hokas? I use lighter shoes for tempos and rep work, running about 70-80mpw in total. It's really just something for the easier runs or certainly those that would start out easier anyway (might turn into a "run to the barn" if feeling good). Don't want the shoe to feel too heavy though. Have tried asics before and preferred the adidas.

As per the thread title, I currently run most of my miles in the Adidas Ultra Boost shoe. I love the shoe, however I am finding that the sole wears down very quickly. As it's such an expensive shoe, I am trying to find an alternative that I might get a few more miles out of over the winter. Basically the Ultra Boosts are good for about 350-400 miles and then the webbed sole starts to wear through. Presumably others have experienced this problem - any thoughts on alternatives? I have quite narrow feet and I also get pain in the balls of my feet unless I do the majority of my runs in quite a well-cushioned shoe.

Run lighter on your feet and your shoes will last longer

Also depends on the terrain.

Hokas are nice, they take a run or 2 to get used too. They aren't too slow either, I ran a 5:39 at the end of a 7 or 8 miler in the Clifton 3s this summer

Have you considered the Glide Boost? I ran in the 6, then 7, then tried the ultra boosts - the glides are better, and way, way cheaper. Would recommend the SS16 not the AW16 though - they changed the sole to be the same as the ultra, and made it worse in the process. The previous one (the SS16) will last 700 miles +.

"Run lighter"? How does one run lighter? I'm only 5'9" & ~60kgs

Terrain mostly roads, especially in winter when it feels like its just constantly dark in the UK.

Thanks! I've taken a punt on the 8s as at £43 it seems a worthwhile gamble!

Another vote for the glide boost. I get ~1300 miles out of them. The continental outsole is outstanding.

New Balance Zante, Adidas Boston.

How on earth do you need to replace shoes after 350 miles? Do you literally toss them at the first sign of wear? I hope you at least donate them to

Hi,

I wanted to see how you'd got on with the Gildes? I'm in the same position as you!

Try the adidas Energy Boost. It's similar to the Ultra but with a harder rubber outsole.
