    Love this shoe - as a heavy supinator tread wear is an issue for me. These shoes use a Continental rubber compound that is extremely durable and has held up so far. In addition, this is a wonderful shoe for up-tempo and track work.

      These are great shoes with great hard wearing soles. Great breathability and very liteweight. They are slightly narrow fitting however but its fine!

      The Boston 7 is a good, durable, fast feeling shoe. Even better for me, I got it for $32 at an adidas outlet store.

      For me personally, it's not perfect because I wish it had about half the heel offset in the 5 mm range instead of 10 mm, because it shifts my landing from flat/midfoot towards the heel.

      The shoe is a bit on the narrow side. It's not quite wide enough for my bunions in my normal size. I adjusted by removing and running without the insole, which, I'm perfectly happy with doing. Alternatively, I think I would have been happy going a half size up (but I only had one choice of size at the outlet store).

      An awsome shoe that anyne can love. They are less cushioned but you get used to them soon. The worst part is the very windy upper. But you easily get used to that as well. They are light with pretty good rubber. The Continental rubber is a bit hard and less grippy on icy and wet surfaces but nothing to serious. I ran more than 550kms in them and they are still great.

      Recommend 100%!!

      I didn't like these shoes initially, because it took a few runs for me to learn how to tie them correctly so as to avoid blisters. After a few runs, particularly on long runs over 1.5-2 hours, I noticed that my feet felt better in these than my favorite Saucony Kinvara 8s or 9s I used to swear by. The Boston felt firmer and less cushioned initially, but actually ended up supporting my feet much better in the long run. They also have great energy return and feel snappy over the course of a long run.

      I like snappy shoes quite a bit, and when I first tried on the Boston's I knew I found my next pair of running shoes. They're ultra fast and return a huge amount of energy back into your stride as hardly any is lost in the compression of the minimal foam. It's definitely a bit tougher on the legs, but is fantastic for anything where you hope to go fast whether it's a speed workout on the track or a quick long run.

      Use this as a tempo shoe, 3:20 per Km pace, and also use for longer reps on trail or grass. Have used for some off day runs and it feels great in all scenarios. Cushioning is similar to Pegasus, but it is much more responsive. Additionally, it is extremely durable due to the continental rubber used for the sole. No complaints
