How it ranks
The adidas Solar Boost 5 trails most daily trainers in our data. Durability and looks are its strongest sub-ratings. Value scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 10 runner reviews and 2 other rated shoes in the Solar Boost product line. Another 2 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Overall
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.

Overall
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.
