I love this shoe and it has great durability. The price could be lowered as it is expensive at retail of 180 us dollars.

Overall

I've been running in shoes with the boost foam for years. They seem to hold up better than other types of shoes I've worn in the past. The Adidas Ultra Boost are very comfortable and hold up well over the course of many miles. Would highly recommend them!

I bought this shoe as a normal wearing shoe and then I started running in it and was well surprised. I didn’t think I’d like it cuz I’m a tie runner but it felt really good
