How it ranks
The adidas Ultraboost 19 is one of the strongest daily trainers in our data. Cushioning and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. Value scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 14 runner reviews and 6 other rated shoes in the Ultraboost product line.
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.
Confidence
86/100
“Running fast feels incredibly responsive and cushioned, while still feeling like you're wearing a lighter shoe”
“Feel like my feet are slapping the ground, throwing off my normal stride”
“I haven't had any issues—can corner, jump to avoid mud, take sharp bends, jump over obstacles”
“After about 4 months of regular use, the sole started separating from the rest of the shoe”
“Running 50–80 miles per week year-round with no injuries”
“The moment you slip on these sock-like shoes, you'll re-think your entire running career”
“The one-piece upper doesn't allow lacing high enough to prevent slippage”
“You never feel as if you're bottoming out when in stride”
“The hard plastic overlay irritates my feet if I tie them snugly”
“Fit well, comfortable for anything from 5k to marathon”

Overall
The adidas Ultraboost was my go to shoe for many years. It fit well, was comfortable for anything from a 5k to a marathon. Had the just the right amount of cushioning for me. I wish adidas kept it the way it was.
