Any opinions on this shoe yet? Specifically, any comparisons to the previous model?
I race in the Adios and train in the Glide. Looking to add something else to the rotation: either the Takumi Sen 3 or the Boston Boost

I've put in about 100 miles in it so far, and currently is my sole training shoe. I'm really impressed with it as I've only run in lower drop racing flats and expected the increased weight and cushion to be a hindrance. I was amazed to find that they fit like a sock and feel very light and responsive.
Do you wear them as your daily trainer or more for workouts and races?
I just bought a pair of them and was planning on wearing them more for faster stuff and then racing in them for my upcoming 30k.
The hype is real for these - I've tried lots of shoes and these are by far my favorite..
I use them for almost every run anymore - whether it's a tempo run - or the other weekend when I ran 35 miles on a bikepath with them (at sub 8 pace).
I recommend giving them a try.
Only thing you want to be careful about - they're built for folks who have narrow feet. If you need an extra wide toe-box, these will probably not work for you
In my rotation at the moment are nb trail shoes, saucony kinvara and nike pegs, alongside boston boost.
The bostons are by far the best shoe in my opinion - light, super durable and responsive.
Great shoe.
runners with wider feet will struggle with this shoe
I enjoyed the Adizero versions, but the Boost versions are definitely more narrow and this shoe was always on the narrow side. If not for that the Boston line of shoes would be the best ever for me. They're just so useful for so many types of workouts.
I used to feel that narrowness as something pressing on my arch. One year ago I replaced the insoles with more substantial ones from an old Nike pair and this feeling just disappeared. It is my favourite shoe now for fast tempos and everything over 10k races.
The boston is the official shoe of binghamton legend and mile mania champion, collin frost

Opposite for me. Boston wider than the Adios. Oh, you said Adizero. Not sure, but Boston feels pretty wide to me.
I thinn it might depend on what batch of shoes you run into. I tried the Adios Aktiv at a store the other day and they definitely felt wider than the Boston... at the forefoot at least.
