SolarBoost

I loved the look of these trainers and the sole and arch support is really nice and comfortable. However, despite going up a size they are very narrow and after walking for about 20mins I had pins and needles in my feet. I have tried them three times but the same thing keeps happening. It’s very disappointing but they’ll have to go in the charity donation pile because I just can’t wear them. I normally wear standard fit trainers, I don’t normally have to go to wide fit but these are just too narrow. ... read more

I started to feel pain in my mid upper section of both feet after the couple of 10k runs. Like other reviewers pointed out, the lace stich is too tight and squeezing the mid section of foot. The sole feels great and I could ran faster in them but the pain is unbearable. I need to look for a new pair. ... read more

I have a pair of shoes I cannot wear. Tongue on the left shoe is made too long, it creases and causes a very painful pressure spot on top of my foot. Good support but unevenly made tongue makes it a waste of money. ... read more

Nice soft but responsive cushioning, great fit on the upper. Boost seems to be the only cushioning that doesn't flatten out and die after 100km. Initially found the toe box a bit tight for my wider than average feet but they break in nicely after the first run and the fit is spot on. Bought a second pair because they were on sale but still heaps of life left in the original pair. ... read more

From the time I tried them on to finally getting a chance to wear them outdoors, I have to say these are one of the best runners I have owned. I have wide feel and have had issues in the past with runners that were too narrow and just not comfortable. These runners have been the total opposite. Fits just right for my wide feet and the are far more comfortable than what I had expected. ... read more

Very good running shoes for 10K or more. I have used them for more than 6 months. Not the fastest due to the great amount of boost but very comfy for my regular training (3x per week). The level cushioning is between the Ultra Boost and the Adios 1- Excellent cushioning: Good transition heel-forefoot. 2- Wider sole than the previous models (Boost Energy 1, 2 & 3)with good arch support: Very good connection to the ground and very stable. Good for neutral or light pronator runners. 3- Very Good locking system: with the lacing system, your foot in well maintained in the shoes. 4- Breathable knit 5- Good traction on all terrains Too be clear..Running Best boost I have had so far. The shoes run true to size (meaning same size as all my adidas running shoes so far = Boost Energy 1, 2). The only thing I regret is that, even though the sole durability is still OK, Continental seems to make less durable rubber compared to the previous models... Merci Adidas!!! ... read more

overall, the solar boosts are great. Bought them for more support for long distances, and while just breaking them in, they seem fine. Perhaps with the seam around the toes I would wear thicker socks than with other shoes, but thats my only complaint. ... read more

The Solar Boost is more responsive than the Ultra Boost I always run in but unable to find the correct lace up combination yet. Tight across the mid foot can cause some discomfort. Quality of shoe is very good as are the looks Considering using for upcoming marathon if I can sort out the comfort setting ... read more

Overall for long distance running the shoes provide good contact from the ball of your foot and the padding from the boost material. This makes running comfortable and easier on the knees as well as on the sole of the foot. A downside however is that i find the back of the shoe a bit too short and sometimes worry my foot my slip out . ... read more

These shoes are super comfy and great to run in. I would highly recommend, except they're already falling apart. The inside of the heel fabric is starting to fray. I take excellent care of my running shoes and as expensive as they are I expected them to last. However, after only having them for a month they have become a disappointment. ... read more

Having been a user of boost technology since it began these shoes do not disappoint in anyway. I run at least twice a week and can honestly say I don’t think I would have got where I am without the help of boost. The all round performance and support that I get from these shoes is perfect....just like wearing gloves on your feet. ... read more

I already had these trainers in the blue but wanted a more subtle colour so recently purchased the light grey. I absolutely love these trainers, they're so ridiculously comfortable and I'm so glad I now have 2 pairs :) I wear them for gym, running and lacrosse and they feel perfect for all of them! ... read more

The SolarBoost is a great cushioned running sneaker. The cushioning has a good amount of boost in it. My only complaint is the upper is really snug. I don’t have wide feet or a high instep, but my foot felt suffocated at first. The fabric did break in as do all shoes and they fit better now! ... read more

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
