adidas Running Ultraboost 19 Reviews | Zappos.com

These shoes are perfect. I was originally wearing the Adidas cloudfoam shoes to workout in, but I felt that they didn’t have quite enough cushioning in them for the high intensity workouts. I tried the Reebok nano 8, they were comfortable, but felt a little stiff. I tried the Nike Free Metcon and they were too narrow. I feel like Nike runs a little snug. Then I got the Adidas NMD R1, they were way to big in the toebox which is weird because Adidas usually runs true to size for me. The worst part about the NMD shoes was the heel. It was stiff and very uncomfortable to be active in. Maybe they look good, but they are definitely not a good workout shoe. But the UltraBoost… (insert heart-eye emoji). They are everything I was hoping for. The knit upper is a perfect fit across the toe box and the top of the foot. The knit wraps around the back and makes the heel the perfect amount of love and support my heel needs in life. My one complaint – which isn’t really a complaint, is that they are definitely a running shoe – in that there is a lot of cushioning in the heel which, if you want to lift weights, makes your standing surface a little unstable. If you want something for lifting weights, I would suggest something a little more stable like the Nano 8. Those have a firm sole and make it easier to load the heavy weight. But if you are like me and you do primarily running or HIIT workouts, then you will love these.
