adidas SolarBOOST

Very reliable cushioned shoes. They fit me very well and has protected me through long runs of up to 20 miles. They might be a little heavier than other trainers but the fact that I know that the cushioning does not compress and am fully protected overrides the weight consideration. They also last up to 450 miles for me, and I'm very hard on my shoes.

I like the Solar, but I prefer the sewwn in tongue that my old Ultra Boost had. But a solid shoe, comfortable, supportive, no problems so far (~6 months wear so far).

This is my first time running in this shoe and I have to say they are awesome! I have tight shins from tight calves so I was looking for something that had cushion, but was not to bulky or huge when it came to stack height. Just a normal neutral running shoe that was good quality and affordable. I decided on the Solar Boosts because I had friends run in them who had great season because of those shoes and I needed something durable. So far I've loved them they have a smooth ride, good energy return for my turnover, and really secure on my feet when I'm doing my daily 11 miles.

It's beautiful and fun to run with, but like the name says it's "Solar"

I tend to like lightweight trainers but find that I need a bit more cushioning when my volume goes over about 60 mpw. These are pretty great and not overly clunky the way I often find heavily cushioned shoes. I have about 550 miles on them and plan to retire around 600 because the tread is starting to go. Someone running on dirt more than I do might get well over this number of miles out of the shoe.

This shoe is a perfect blend between cushioning and responsiveness. It has enough cushion to keep me stable and nice and easy on my easy/recovery days, but also is responsive enough to let me pick it up on my tempo runs. With the pricepoint on this shoe being more expensive then most, one would expect a lot. It has delivered on basically everything I hoped it would. I can do long runs, easy runs, recovery runs, tempo runs, and MP runs in this shoe. While the fit is a little snug, I haven't really experienced any pain from this as I have in other shoes before. Adidas did a great job with this one.
