This score rates worse than 90% of shoes.
Our ratings use detailed reviews from knowledgeable runners, ratings for shoes in the same product line, and reliable product information from trusted retailers.
Rankings combine runner ratings, whether reviewers say they'd buy a shoe again, direct comparisons to other shoes, related product-line performance, and trusted external ratings.
The darker band shows the central score range. The lighter band shows a wider range of reasonable outcomes. More reviews for this shoe usually narrow both bands.

I've been wearing Adidas shoes for running almost exclusively for the last two decades. The Solar Boost continues a long line of Adidas shoes that have allowed me to train in comfort over many miles. How do they compare to other brands? I cannot say because I trust the results these and other Adidas shoes have provided me.

The solar boosts are great, low to the ground, wide forefoot, and good traction. I haven’t worn out any boost material the uppers always go first but they are very durable.
