SolarBoost

I have bought these recently. After 100 k on them I have some feedback: 1) they are soft and flexible 2) great cushioning 3) great for the long run 4) didn't have a long adjustment period, during my first run I was capable to run 14k without discomfort. HOWEVER, when I run in them longer 30 minutes, I notice that my feet get too hot and it creates a bit of discomfort. It would be great if there was a bit more air access to cool the feet down, like the netting Ultraboost has. ... read more

Perfect road running shoe. Incredible grip. Snug fit. This boost is pretty firm and that's a great thing. The cage has a strong hole in mid foot. Only flaw is that it doesn't vent or breath well. Got it 7 days ago and have 50 miles on the shoe. ... read more

Extremely disappointed. Where the tongue and bridge support meet the stitching is essentially plastic and bruised the bridge of my feet. The upper feels soft when you try it on but unbearable after a few miles. Wanted to enjoy the soft boost sole but ended up walking home in the cold. Ran Edinburgh marathon in Adios Boston’s and entered for Paris looking for more support. Resided to buying a pair of “proper” running shoes from another brand. Ugly but at least they do what they were made for. ... read more

When I first put these shoes on they felt wonderful and I took them out for an 8 mile run. The underfoot feel was wonderful, cushioned but responsive. However, the edge on the tongue is very firm and cut into the front of my ankles. By the end of the run, I had a 1 inch cut across both ankles from the tongue, and will not wear them again. They would be a great shoe if the tongue had some padding or cushioning around the edge. ... read more

The Solarboost is probably the most comfortable running shoe I have used so far. The only issue and it is a small one is that the tongue can sometimes feel uncomfortable on the top of your foot. But for overall support and comfort they are very good. I am recovering from an injury sustained during running and the cushioning in the sole has been most welcome not only on the gentle runs I have been doing but generally to reduce shock to the knee. I would highly recommend them. The available colours and the look of the shoe are, I think, really stylish I have the light blue with orange bits which works well. I ... read more

I am replacing same shoe in an updated model. Good qualities:, good arch support, solid thick tread, runs narrow so men's sizes fit my long women's foot. Not so good qualities: in old version - lining wore out too quickly, in new version - new elastic bands over arch pull a little too tightly over arch. ... read more

Very disappointed, expected a lot from these shoes, my last four pairs of running shoes have all been from adidas, these solar boosts ripped within a month in multiple places, and I know that I take care of my shoes. The rips are in the same places on both shoes so it is not me. Appalling considering they cost me £140, I not sure if my shoe had defects but I will think twice before buying another pair of running shoes form adidas ... read more

Compared to adidas's best running, shoe which is the "UltraBoost All Terrain", the entire sole on the "Solar Boost" model is made of far less flexible rubber, therefor feels very stiff. It's also not thick enough to absorb impact on the ball of foot and heels. ... read more

does take some time to break it in but you’ll get used to the squeaking. Overall, I love this pair and don’t regret making this purchase. They’re comfortable, a perfect fit and great for running when I’m at work or trying to get to my bus. ... read more

Awesome high performance running shoe. Great for long walks, jogging and high performance runs. Great for any use - the black and silver shoes look awesome as well! Little firmer boost compared to Ultraboost with more side support and lockdown. ... read more

I have experienced minor tongue discomfort when starting my runs. However, as I progress in my runs, the tongue seems to move to a more natural position and the discomfort disappears. Everything else has been great with this shoe so far! ... read more

The Solarboost running shoe are easily the most comfortable and best-performing pair of running shoes I have ever owned. I have tried the Ultraboosts as well, but the forged mesh upper of the Solarboost gives a bit more support in my experience. The flexibility and active response of the boost midsole provides a very comfortable running experience and it legitimately feels as though it propels you forward as you put more energy into your stride. The rigid heel pieces really hold your foot down inside the shoe while keeping the rest of the shoe flexible. ... read more

By far the best adidas running show I have tried. I previously have worn the Ultraboost ST (too heavy) and the Ultraboost uncaged (not enough cushion for me) and these outperform both. Very happy with my purchase and will be my go to running shoe. For reference, I run 20-30 miles per week. ... read more

I've worn my solar boost trainer three times now and feel like they offer a bit more support the the ultraboost at I had before but still with the great boost sole. Very happy so far and just hope they stay this good for a long time. ... read more

Ultraboost are comfy but run a tad narrow. Pureboost are better for slightly wide feet but are not as comfy. Solarboost combines the best of both. The toe box material wraps around your foot but be careful if u have a taller foot than most, the material is snug. Overall great shoe and an excellent (little known) alternative to ultraboost. ... read more

My mom’s a nurse with plantar fascitis and always on her feet. She said these shoes are the most comfortable shoes sh’s ever worn even compared to those orthopedic shoes and ortholites. Thank you Adidas for providing fire and functional kicks ... read more

I ordered a pair and based on the advice of the website ordered 1/2 a size down. Actually this is utter rubbish, the shoes are bang on the correct size, i.e if you're a UK 9 then you'll be a UK9 in these. Pretty gutted now as I was excited to run in them but now returning the shoes. To add insult bough them with Black Friday discount and now have to pay full price so probably won't bother. ... read more

I am a Long distance runner, they are super comfortable and great stability. I used the ultra boost too, but love the fabric on the solar boost, i ran a marathon under the rain and i love how they felt after 16 miles Not heavy at all. Adidas is my favorite running sneakers! ... read more

Since the discontinuation of the Energy Boost, this shoe seemed most compatible. To me, this version had less cushioning, and more uncomfortable than the Energy Boost, or Solar Glide which I have exchanged for. The lacing and material around the midfoot was extremely tight and dug into my arches. I have since exchanged them for the Solar Glide which are much more comfortable and similar to the old Energy Boost. ... read more

So comfortable! There was another lady at the store and she already had her shoes picked out and I convinced her to try these on, she said nothing has ever compared to this. I agree! Try them! You will love them! ... read more

Very pleased with the overall fit and feel of the shoe. They have a perfect balance of cushioning and weight. Extremely lightweight for a distance running shoe yet little cushioning sacrifice Traction is adequate not overly grippy but enough for all road running. Would be cautious offroad depending on conditions. ... read more

I was a little sceptical at first about solar boost having listened/read many reviews on the net, I took the chance and order. I'm glad I did!!! I've done a 10k & 11k with a average pace of 4.20min/km, so far no breaking in issues, no discomfort just pleasure. I feel they better for my running than ultra boost. Its a much better platform, the boost sole on these is a delight, the fit is narrow through mid section, wide/low toe area, hug the feet, they hold your feet better than ultra boost 100% Size I normally have 8.5 in ultra boost, adios 3s but can get away with the 8 in these. I've used ultra boost for past 2 years alongside adios 3's, NOW it will be Solar boost and adios 3's. ... read more

Bought these for running to replace my Adidas supernova. The tongue on these trainers is very high & stiff. It rubs my ankle even on a short 5k run I have 2 nasty blisters! Really disappointed - they’re not cheap and now stuck with a pair of trainers that I can’t wear. ... read more

These shoes are amazing. I am just getting back into distance running after having two babies in two years and these are saving me! My feet are supported, so comfortable, and they are so light. Perfect for the extra weight I’m carrying! I’ve been telling everyone about these dream shoes. ... read more
