adidas Solar Boost 19

Very good shoe in terms of the durability/cushioning/appearance ratio. Only problem is the tongue digs into the front ankle area on the right shoe. helps if you loosen the shoe. Pretty lightweight and can be used for tempos and fartleks too.

This shoe is durable and comfortable especially if you have to do a lot of road running. The cushion prevents injuries and the landing is soft and comfortable for many miles.

I had previously worn the Adidas Solar Glide, which is the next model down in the Solar line, and there was a noticeable difference in the materials used for the shoe. The biggest one was the shoe's material for the tongue and exterior, which helped to improve breathability and how snug the shoe fit. The shoe was comfortable for both regular runs and workouts and feels solid all around.

I'm a fairly serious runner (75miles per week), and I've been wearing the solar glides for a few years now, and they have been great to train in. They provide a lot of support, and have supported my flat feet very well. I know runners with very high arches who have had success with these shoes as well. They're comfortable, smooth, and can easily hold 500 miles or even more, I'm just cautious when I get to a high mileage with my shoes so I haven't really experimented, but once I found myself running about 750 miles in these shoes and I never had any injury problems whatsoever. These aren't racing flats, but you can still get in some strong long tempo like efforts, but these are also my go to for easy and moderate runs. I rate this value 10/10, and that's because I take my training very seriously and these shoes allow me to train at a very effective level.

I'm on my third pair, I love them. They're nice looking and feel good. The Achilles support on the back works, the tongue and laces feel great, and the mix of support and light weight is there. With that being said, they don't last as long as other shoes. *Probably why I'm on my third pair*. Right before ~300 miles, the top mesh near big toe starts to rip and then I give it less than a week until I see a hole. I have continued running in them, despite the two holes near my toes, with no problems. However, I'd prefer 0 holes. It is a great shoe but a mix of the brevity of life and the high price, I am forced to give it a review in hopes for another pair.

Definitely still a great shoe, but after wearing the Ultraboost shoes casually for a couple years I was expecting the Solar Boost to be more bouncy and have more pop than they did.

Honestly, I really enjoy the shoe. I don't love the show though. I can put a lot of miles in the shoes and it doesn't destroy my bones and body. The cushioning in the show is awesome and right now at about 500 miles the show still has a lot of life in them. Something I super dislike about the shoe is how freaking heavy it is. It feels like I dip them in cement every time before I run in them.

This is my absolute favorite everyday training shoe. The shape of the shoe is far more natural feeling than most other shoes; there is room for the toes to splay but also a secure lock down. The cushioning and foam is 1000x better than most EVA foams like in the nike pegasus. It has a very soft feel, yet it is springy and offers what feels like a lot of cushion without having a giant block under your foot. The foam feels much more cushioned than the Adizero Boston, so this is a better shoe for daily mileage. I however also do a lot of tempo runs in this shoe when my legs are feeling beat up, usually in the half to full marathon pace range, and it honestly feels fine. However the shoe feels a little sluggish on a track so for real quick stuff I switch to proper flats. The outsole is incredibly grippy compared to most other daily training shoes, particularly those from nike. I run mostly on gravel paths and roads, and this shoe feels far more stable than most other shoes on this terrain. The shoe is also far more durable than most other shoes in my opinion. I got about 650 miles out of my first pair before the outsole got too worn and the foam felt a little sloppy. I'm on my third pair now. In the past I only got about 250 miles out of a Pegasus before I felt like it was getting sloppy.

Also: definitely go a half size down from normal. I wear a 10 in all nike stuff but a 9.5 in this shoe.
