Overall

Great shoe. Love most of the boost shoes. The ultra has good return and the cut out heel counter is very comfortable. The upper is also very comfortable. The new version, with the continental rubber on the outsole, should last longer than this model.

4/5

Overall

Very comfortable on your foot (soft underfoot, well-cushioned, good looking) and walking around. Was hesitant to run in it though because of how soft it felt (it did not inspire confidence). Took it for a few short easy runs and was surprised how good it felt. Starting running a bit longer (10+ miles) as well as in workouts. Still running in it (300M in) and happy with how it's held up. Only issue is that the heel sits low and there's a near constant fear that it could slip off at any time (even though it won't).
