Shoe is much too stiff and firm for me. It bothers my feet running in something that stiff.

The upper is a little stiff, bit the midsole feels great and the combination of boost/continental rubber is insanely durable.

4/5

Overall

I'm a convert to the boost material. That alone was the selling point for this shoe. It is noticeably soft and supportive, whether walking or running. A drawback is that the cushioning effect is diminished after ~450 miles. The shoes were still useable beyond that (I ran 650 in my first pair before switching), but i imagine you'll be at a greater risk of support-related injuries (developed foot discomfort that precipitated shoe switch) If you're looking for a basic neutral shoe for the bulk of your mileage, this is the shoe for you.
