The Most BOOST EVER?! Adidas ULTRABOOST 21 Review & On Feet

[@lcg2483]

Just bought a pair after watching this video. I freaking love ultra boosts. To me they are the most comfortable running shoes I’ve ever worn and they take the pressure off my knees. I’m in the military and we run a lot so I definitely had to get a pair of these. I have the 18s, 19s and 20s already.

I feel like instead of the “more boost” approach with every refresh, Adidas needs to focus on stability and structural integrity so it takes longer for the boost to bottom out.

[@gilbertoflores7397]

How does the boost bottom out? It just a thick slab of foam, so it'll always be comfortable. Its just you probably getting too uae to the shoes, because even when I switch out to a bew pair of UBs, the difference in comfort isn't that significant.

[@nocreaselucas8810]

@@gilbertoflores7397 as the owner of several UBs, I have definitely noticed a change in how the boost feels after repeated use. A pair that I regularly workout in are still comfortable but nowhere near as close as responsive as some newer ones ive worn far less often in comparison.

[@gilbertoflores7397]

@@nocreaselucas8810 the difference shouldn't be significant, as I have many pairs too, and really don't notice the a significant difference, its still soft even after lots of wears.And if you're doing anything other than running in the UB, you should definitely stop working out in UBs for weights, it's recommended to use less cushioning for working out. The instability will lead you to get hurt.

[@nocreaselucas8810]

@@gilbertoflores7397 hahah i am well aware of which shoes to use when working out! I use UBs to run and a couple other (more stable, less springy) shoes to lift. If you read above, my comment was not saying that UBs lose their comfort, but more that they stop being as responsive. The amount of energy return is notably decreased and they stop feeling the same.

[@sydguitar99]

Compared to the other cushion systems, boost barely and rarely bottoms out. Plus increasing number of boost pellets in the 21 will make the cushion more firm and stable.

[@cugash]

I've been a Ultraboost user for some years now (since the 18th iteration) and average around 120 km monthly. I can say that the Ultraboost is a very comfortable sneaker, especially if, like me, you have achilles tendon problems. The amount of heel support is great, and helps to reduce pain after a long run (>10k). I've used Asics, Nike and Under Armour sneakers before and the Ultraboost is undoubtedly (in my opinion) the best for this particular situation. Another advantage, and probably exclusive to Adidas, is that their shoes look great and you can use them as your daily sneakers. I have to pairs of 20's, one for running and another for daily use (which will eventually replace the running pair), and they both look great! I look forward to test this new model and see if it lives up to its legacy!

[@albertteng1191]

Its looks fast, it looks speedy, it also weighs a ton. Boost was and will always be heavy. Adidas would do good if they reformulate the boost material to make it lighter and bouncier. Something what saucony did with their everrun and now powerrun + midsole. Both are TPU based like boost but the difference in performance is mind boggling.

[@warriora7245]

Just walked around downtown Vegas for a little test walk...gotta say I think they more comfy than the 20 or 19. The heel is much wider friendly and the way it cups ur heel is nice. I did have to insert some insoles, but for my flat wide feet these are seriously surprisingly good!

[@baltsu]

Actually that fact that the heel sits in the midsole, is doing a lot. At least in all Hoka models it provides a lot of stability. Hence, even people who are mild over-pronators can run in those shoes. Everything that help to keep ankle in the right position, is doing something. It's not a gimmick.

[@GhostofMcNabb]

I was thinking the same. The shape of this midsole is probably the best upgrade for the sneaker line

[@b_are]

Gonna have to disagree on the statements on the aesthetic being full on running. Lot of the upper details seem to harken back to the original ultraboost line. The TPU cage was taken off for weight, and the heel counter was an outline only for the same reason. They brought all of that back on this. Def looks more lifestyle than the 19 and 20 for me. The only "performance" seems to come from the shape of the midsole
