Anybody tried the Adidas Boston 10s?

I saw a pair in stores, it is a "boston" in name only. Nothing else about it is comparable to the past boston shoes whatsoever.

I recently got a pair of adios 5's which are similar to what the boston once was (but still not as good).

i'd get the adios 6. More like the old bostons. (I ran in those for years before switching to SL20s for a bit)

No. Nobody has. They released it without ever testing it.

As mentioned, nothing like previous Boston's. The new Boston 10 seem more like a new Supernova 8 replacement, no bad thing as there's a place for that. The Adios 6 is more akin to a Boston now, and seems a much better deal, lower stack, lighter, cheaper and much more versatile.

This is how the new Adidas models compare IMO:-

New Boston 10 = Old Supernova 8

New Adios 6 = Old Adizero Tempo 9 (almost identical upper and feel)

Nothing = Old Adios 3-5

I've generally liked Boston's over the years, and run through maybe 10-15 pairs, but now I've been running in the Saucony Endorphin speed for a year or so and can't go back. The boston just doesn't have enough cushion for me anymore.

The new model looks way different though. Looks like the removed boost from the shoe altogether? It does look like it is trending towards more of a cushioned trainer that I'm looking for, but I'm hesitant to spend $130 on them. Let me know if you guys have tried them out as there are no reviews on running warehouse yet.

There are tons of reviews on them if you bother to look around.

I have them. Honestly, they're fine. They're not super shoe soft - they're actually pretty firm. The kinda remind me of the Hoka Carbon X but with a less pronounced rocker. The geometry works for me - they're pretty stable but allow my foot to pronate naturally. The height of the midsole doesn't really seem to add much in the way of obvious comfort.

Once you get up to speed they cruise along pretty nicely which is about the only thing that reminds me of previous Bostons.

I guess I expected a bit more pop from the Lightstrike Pro - super shoe feel with a training shoe weight. And they're not really that, they're just a good, solid training shoe.

Would be interested to try the lower profile Adios.

I ordered a pair. I use the Pegasus Turbo 2 for things like long tempos, but these seem to soft and flexible with not enough protection. Are they comfortable enough, and how stiff are the rods? Keen to hear anything you can tell me about them.

I have about 120 miles in them now and I have to admit that I don't particularly like them. Like someone else mentioned here, they are a very firm and not as comfortable shoe and certainly don't compare to something like the Saucony Speed at all. If you're looking for a comfortable yet responsive and fun training shoe, I'd suggest considering the Shift, Nike's Infinity Run (haven't tried the Invincible so far), or the Novablast

Anyone tried the Prime X?

Saucony has shoes that Adidas should have made.

I have a pair and they make me hurt in all sorts of places though. Might return. I enjoy the stability and love the dampening feel of the light strike pro, but I just feel confused. If they cut out half the light strike the shoe would feel the same. Tried a tempo but they feel very heavy and made a lot of noise.
