Overall

they have great cushioning and durability. The last is a bit narrow for me and I would appreciate more eyelets to secure the shoestrings. Very dependable. They are my second pair of Energy Boost and I really like them. Will probably give the ultra boost a try next.

Great shoe. Very comfortable and incredibly durable. I know that some found it to be too soft but while I don't love a shoe that's really soft I've loved this shoe.
