I can’t find an excellent waking shoe because my Favorite Nike shoes are discontinued and i wore the soles out. The leather uppers and in tacked. The Shoe repair says they can’t do much to find something

[@PopLol]

"all women team" doesn't matter, it's just called that for marketing purposes and either way it's much better to have a team of both women and men when doing shoes for women and men.

[@PaulHo]

I was very confused when these dropped. Everyone was touting the women's build, but I couldn't tell if there were women's models and male models. Are the entire 22 line all narrower now? Especially if it's the entire model year, I'm going to want an entire toe cap now.

[@thatfitfriend]

I believe so! The men’s model has some carryover from the last changes that were implemented for the women’s. Toe box, boot, and instep!

[@bobsmith6058]

This is interesting I have the ultraboost 20 at the moment and I have slightly wide feet so any tighter than that might not feel comfortable. So are really all the same narrower widths? I assumed the men’s version would be wider that the women’s, didn’t realise they maybe all the same design now made for women’s feet and not men’s?

[@mr.smilez312]

[@tropicthndr]

These shoes suck compared to the regular DNA, can’t slip into them without fighting that ridiculous tongue in the back, that goofy plastic emblem on the front tongue leaves a dent on the top of your foot. The only thing good about them is the new material for the soles.

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, I’m with you on all of that, honestly. If you don’t have a very specific foot anatomy these are rough

[@kathyfann]

How are they for walking on payment 3 to 5 miles 3 days a week

[@thatfitfriend]

Good overall!

[@kathyfann]

Wonderful thank you they are arriving soon

[@MiracleWarriors]

I want to get a high cushioning shoe from Adidas in the first half of this year but I'm in doubt between the Ultraboost 22 and the Adidas Adistar . The UB might be more versatile but I like the idea about the Adistar. We need more comparisons between these Adidas's shoes on KZbin.

[@thatfitfriend]

I haven't tried the Adistar yet, they're on my to-do! I have tested and reviewed the Adizero Boston 10 which were a solid model overall and they provide a high amount of cushioning if you want to check them out. I'm going to try and get up more comparisons over the next month :)

[@ananeadjei9770]

I am into strength training. High intensity low rep ranges. Would you consider this sneaker a good fit for lower body movements ie deadlifts and squats?

[@Haunted_Fish]

If you want good running shoes I strongly recommend brooks! They are THE brand when it comes to running shoes. I personally use the glycerin model by brooks and it is about 180$ but the reason it’s so expensive is because it’s the most cushiony shoe brooks makes. I think you should always go for brooks shoes when thinking about a running shoe. I’ve never ran in anything else but brooks

The couple of shoes you have , aren’t looking ORIGINAL, and that been said : ultra boost are The best shoes compared to the price and other over priced Other brands … NOTE : adidas able to live in same condition and effect ion after the owner pass away , so the ultra boost Are the best shoes ever , reducing back pain , and you can run as fast and as long you need , I played squats using it Just 4 rims on each , please show us a long distance run , you body isn’t a good proof about long distances,

That’s a solid deal! And thank you 💪

[@ericng7511]

@@thatfitfriend shoes finally arrived. Tried them on and surprised the upper is more forgiving than the UB21. Seems to be longer with plenty of space in the toe box area. Width wise is really ok when I took out the insoles for a relaxed feel. With insoles more snug but makes sense if using for workouts. It's not easy buying sneakers for a slightly wide feet. UB22 is a pleasant surprise

[@adamking1928]

Not to be rude but why don’t they create a new lineup for women footwear’s (running) instead of making these changes to the UB22?

[@thatfitfriend]

Not rude at all. Honestly, every company should do this. There are so many differences between women’s/men’s anatomies that the days of unisex sizing etc. should go away.

[@bobsmith6058]

What’s the grip like on these? I liked the grip on the UB 20 with the continental rubber, but these don’t cover the whole sole now how does it compare? I like a good grip on wet surfaces.

[@bobsmith6058]

Does the boost on the heel come up high enough to cover the heel of your foot when you wear them? As you say the foot doesn’t sit on the boost as high as it looks from the outside of the shoe. It would be good if it covers the heel as it would protect it from impact as I have plantar facitis.

Adidas ultra boost 22 vs nike vomero 16/17(to be realesed soon)?

[@thatfitfriend]

I haven’t tried the new Vomero yet, so I can’t give you a solid answer at this moment! If you can find the boost for a good deal, then they might be worth though. That way you can see how others like the Vomero first before investing!

[@dariosimonepalmiotti2739]

stupid question: how do you define "wide foot", etc.?

[@thatfitfriend]

Not stupid at all! I use it to provide a simple means of standardizing sizing suggestions. For context, I’ve had my foot sized at a running shoe store to get my foot’s measurements, then I take those measurements and relate them to diff companies size charts. Different companies have different means of standardizing their shoe widths which then work with certain foot dimensions. So, I use those terms in reviews to create a suggestion as to what widths will work best. So in this context, if you had your foot measurements, then related them to the company’s sizing chat, and they also say that your foot aligns with a neutral/standard width, then you could likely assume that your size will feel somewhat similar to what I’m experiencing.

[@dariosimonepalmiotti2739]

@@thatfitfriend thank you for the explanation Still wondering why different brands have different sizes (why 10 Nike cannot be the same as 10 Adidas)

[@thatfitfriend]

@@dariosimonepalmiotti2739 it’s due to the different lasts companies land on for certain models, each last will be a bit different. I’m with you though - I don’t understand why diff companies need to make their own fit scale.

[@TheDataArchitect]

Should i go for Adidas Ultraboost 22 or Ultraboost 5.0 dna shoes? Am confused, please help

[@thatfitfriend]

Hey! I've never tried the DNA shoes, so I'm not much help there and I want to make my limitations known. Based on what I know about both models, I'd say go UB22 if you're wanting them for walking/longer runs and DNA if you plan to do any sprint/tempo work/walking!

[@trippyChief]

22 hands down

[@bobsmith6058]

Are these soles softer than the UB20? I heard that the 21 was very stiff and the 22 was made a bit softer but it looks the same. Some reviewers say the inside has a hole cut out to make it softer, but the does the LEP system make it feel stiff again? I like the softer cushion in the UB 20. I skipped the 21 because of that and when there is no more UB 20 left not sure what a good alternative would be?

[@thatfitfriend]

IMO, I think they're a tad more cush, but still not comparable to the 20s. I'd say pass on the 22 and go for a marked-down 20 or wait for the 23 to see if they shift it back to a style/fit you enjoy! If you want a budget-friendly model that has more cushion, then the Reebok Floatride Energy 3 can be an awesome option. Good grip, solid performance, and for ~$100.

[@bobsmith6058]

Thanks I got a new pair of UB 20 on discount from adidas they came today and are very comfortable straight away I had the pharrel ones before that and I think they felt tight at first maybe my feet are used to them now.

Oo i needed a runner’s review of these. They sound perfect for me. The final selling point for me is the women’s design team. Male and female bodies are different and i think there are some things that need to be take into consideration.

Are you implying that male product designers are purposely ignoring the difference in different people's bodies while making a shoe? I thought they have like a full blown research team or something

[@seungsoo776]

Hey Jake! Just recently discovered your channel and all of your videos have been a massive help when considering shoes. I wanted to ask you for your opinion on good gym/training shoes which are also comfortable for less than an hour of walking/jogging/running. I do a mix of running machines and weights and needed a balanced shoe for both. I have considered between the Metacon 7s and Renew Retaliation TR 3s but could really use some proffesional advice from you. Otherwise keep up the amazing work!

[@thatfitfriend]

Hey! Thank you and stoked to have you! The Renew will definitely be a more comfortable ride for runs, but the quality of the midsole is sub-bar long-term. The Metcon 7 will be solid for lifting, but will fall short for running. Have you looked into the Nike Free Metcon 4? That's a model that walks a good middle ground and can support moderate loading!

Pretty different upper constructions. IMO, if you like the 20 and have been enjoying that model, then you may want to stay with it since you're acclimated to its fit/feel. I believe they have some good deals on the 20 atm!

[@Harry-jz1dn]

Very disappointed in these. I've had nearly every iteration of the Boost range since the first energy boost and loved the advancements. The UB20 is still my favourite. I didn't like the 21 as for the very first time the size I've had for every version didn't fit and they were really heavy and not very stable. I hoped the 22 would fix that - I love the idea of more Boost - but they're even worse. I've no idea what's going on in the 22? It's far too loose at the back, too tight at the toe and still far too heavy. I'll stick to finding the UB20 online when I need a replacement pair.

[@thatfitfriend]

The 20s have some solid marked down prices atm

[@Harry-jz1dn]

@@thatfitfriend I think the price drop is great, but potential buyers should still be careful when considering buying if it's just for the sake of taking advantage of a good deal.
