I've always been a Nike Pegasus guy and sure I loved them for like 2 months then would realize how flat my feet felt. Then I had buy another pair. I wouldn't recommend them if you run a lot. If you want shoes that are just as light, responsive, and have support i'd recommend the Hoka Clifton 3! Awesome shoe
I agree!!!! I have a pair of Boston Boost 5's that are a year old (got them for Christmas last year). I did a 5 mile tempo with them on Thursday and still plenty of miles left in them. Also, I have a pair of Adios that have been used for track workouts and races for over a year as well. I suggest finding some Boston Boost on Ebay from $49-$79 (brand new). Four different pair in my rotation right now. Love the Boost series.....

I will, if you try to be even more funny next time you post something.
From your reply it's clear that you don't care but let me clear something up. The back half of the shoe and the medial side of the front are [almost] as new. It's just the lateral frontside of the sole that seems to melt away. Accuse me of having horrible mechanics all you want, but shuffling or keeping my feet on the ground is definitely not something that I do while running.
Anyway, I wish I could agree with the guy above you. I would give an arm for a durable [for me] Adios or Boston.
I've had the exact same problem with the adios boost, v1, 2 and 3. The rubber on the outside forefoot, where your foot hits the ground first, fades away very quickly. Very annoying. The sole on the boston boost 5 was way more durable, but now in the 6 they've changed it to the same as the adios...
+1 on the lateral forefoot rubber melting away. At 150 Miles (of mostly tempo/marathon pace efforts) that part of the sole is already worn down to the plastic plate. Wish the Adios used whatever rubber they use on the Nike Pegasus. My Pegasus 32's look brand new after 400 miles!
