SolarBoost

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

Have done four runs in these so far. First two were 10 milers and next two were 13.1 miles each. I like the boost cushion. Took the edge off of rough spots on the road and also made running on the rough asphalt sections smooth. Legs felt better at end of each run rather than being beat up. Would like a little more width but was OK. Only issue was that I run with no-see socks. The shoe tongues are long or high and rubbed through the skin on the ankles. On next runs I applied tape on the ankle area prior to the run but not easy to get the tape to last the entire run due to the heat and sweating. Some people do say the shoe is hot as it does not breath greatly. On my runs in temps not over 75F it was not a problem. I do want another pair now but will be careful about protecting ankle area for rubbing. Seems that the tongue is smooth but apparently the stitching is not. ... read more

The shoes are super comfortable, they feel like you're walking on tiny pillows. I also really like the look of these shoes, although I do feel like the coral colour pops more in real life than on the pictures. The coral is almost fluorescent, really bright. ... read more

I absolutely love the style and appearance of the shoe and was really excited to get them in. That all changed when I tried them on. The area where the laces are on top of my foot was so tight I could barely put them on. If i would have worn them for an extended period of time I believe half of my foot would have been amputated. It's almost as if the sides were stitched too close together. Total bummer. ... read more

I love the look of the shoe, it’s very comfortable for running and casual wear, BUT the inside of the heal of both shoes have holes wearing through. Not to mention, I have only put 10 miles of running on these shoes. I am very disappointed with the quality & will reach out to customer service. ... read more

I bought these shoes in the run-up to a half marathon, and so far they are performing well. I've tried them on road surfaces only, but in a variety of conditions: wet, dry, uneven, strewn with leaves, etc. The shoes are comfortable and the laces don't come loose. The top has enough structure that you feel pretty well cared for, and I almost didn't have to break them in at all. Overally quite satisfied so far. ... read more

Absolutely perfect shoes. Love the colour and the squidgy boost technology. They were my first Boost shoes but I was forced to send them back. I had grown half or one size but strangely I felt perfect with 5.5 yet I am size 6. Felt like 6.5! Perfect. ... read more

I don't understand you guys... I buy from the same website, same size, same type (running shoes) as I did like a year ago and they are suddenly huge! They were a gift for my brother and I was very confident buying them thinking, obviously, that I could not go wrong with them. I cannot do much about it as he does not live in the UK and we cannot return them. The quality is as always great and my brother fell in love with them when he saw them but the size...he tried fitting 2 pairs of socks and see if it'll work but it still did not. I am actually really sorry about the whole situation, but it is beyond my understanding how you measure your sizes. ... read more

I couldn't wait until these were released. I love ADIDAS Supernova and when I ordered these I wanted to love them. The Solarboost is a comfortable shoe, however they felt big when I put them on. I wear 8.5 street shoe and ADIDAS Supernova is the only shoe that usually fit me perfectly. These shoes were wider than I'm used to. I do recommend them if you have the opportunity to try them on before you purchase them. Unfortunately, I did not keep these shoes and went back to the Supernova ... read more

I have had several pairs of the Adidas Supernova in the past and I loved the durability, comfort, fit, style, and overall quality of them. After recently trying a few other brands I decided I wanted to go back to Adidas for my fall marathons and decided the solarboost was a great option after trying them on at my local running store. They felt great. I ordered them a few weeks ago and have now done two runs in them and the sole and support is great as usual but the shell has an additional layer at the lacing section that applies a lot of pressure to the top of the foot no matter how tight or loose you lace the shoe. This for me caused blistering, bruising, and torn skin across the tops of both feet. I would encourage anyone looking to upgrade to the next level and not waste $160 like I did on something that hurts your feet like this. Great shoe if not for this defect. ... read more

Have only done 30 miles in these so far, but I already love them. I was worried that they would not be as comfy as my previous uncaged UltraBosst shoes but they are just as comfy whilst providing much more support. If anything I would say they are a little tight. I am always a size 10 and these fit quite snuggly - I am glad I did not order a half size down as recommended. The shoes are quite warm and there is limited ventilation so will definitely be better in Autumn/Winter. ... read more

Best shoes ever! I don't like the upper mesh knit material so this shoes does it for me, you still have the boost foam sole but upper totally closed and supportive. I have the problem with my feet sliding inside the shoes and end up with a hole where my little toe is in the previous ultraboost with knit material. Solarboost drastically improve this by the upper material hugging my feet perfectly and still allow stretching for comfort. I love everything about it, I use it to teach high impact class at the gym studio and running and walking. HIGHLY RECOMMENED if you have problem with the knit material, try this one! ... read more

After a number of pairs of UltraBoosts, which I love, I wasn't sure whether or not to try the SolarBoost, however, I am so glad I did. The additional support around the ankle is excellent with the same comfort and lightweight feel as the UltraBoost. As most reviews have mentioned, definitely buy a half size bigger. Other than that I highly recommend them. ... read more

I had previously run in various versions of Supernovas, and have always got on well with them. I thought I would give these a try as I start training for an autumn marathon. These trainers are very comfortable - I went for my first run in them over the weekend, and the cushioning is great. This wasn’t to the detriment of speed too, and I was impressed with the pace I was able to maintain. All good, and highly recommended ... read more

After using my two pair Adidas Energyboost by 3 years I think Solarboost was very choose. They are very comfortable and fit. A bit different construction than energyboost so my foots need to get used to running in it. ... read more

I’ve always loved boost/ultra boosts, it’s hard to believe but I have over 15 pairs of adidas shoes which use the boost foam. This is by far my chosen #1, they do fit a little narrow however when you’re out running this doesn’t mater what’s so ever. For the price you get what you pay for and that is the BEST RUNNING SHOE out there!!! ... read more
