      I love this shoe and it has great durability. The price could be lowered as it is expensive at retail of 180 us dollars.

      I've been running in shoes with the boost foam for years. They seem to hold up better than other types of shoes I've worn in the past. The Adidas Ultra Boost are very comfortable and hold up well over the course of many miles. Would highly recommend them!

      I bought this shoe as a normal wearing shoe and then I started running in it and was well surprised. I didn’t think I’d like it cuz I’m a tie runner but it felt really good

      I have been running in the boosts for about 6 years, and love the midsoles. They are the most comfortable shoes since the old Nike airsock. They are a little pricey where I live, but the price is worth it to me.

      I have worn Adidas Boost models since they came out. This shoe is more on the fashionable end in terms of past models. Always amazed at how many miles I can get out of this shoe compared with others. Excellent to retire and use for everyday leisure (the fashionable upgrade in recent years has made this possible).

      Note that price paid is not reflective of list price - the 50% company store price cannot be beat.

      Easy to wear, a great feel and grip. the perfect high mileage road shoe. The price is way too high

      The Ultra Boost is extremely durable and is definitely worth the price. It is not a shoe I run in every day, however, because the upper does not support the foot as well as the energy boost or supernova.

      Adidas Ultraboost is a responsive, though appropriately cushioned, shoe. As an older runner, who mainly runs on roads and gravel, I find the shoe comfortable, even when feeling sore and have remained injury free.

      I had been wearing Asics before and my bony back of the heel, has always rubbed on every pair of shoes I have ever owned and wore out the inside lining and made me have Achilles Insertion trouble. These shoes kept me running, they fit like a sock with an open heel area so nothing can rub. The downside is they are like a sock, so not much stability for uneven ground and I am a klutz so that can be an issue.
