A pure boost

5/5

Overall

Spent a lot of time searching for a shoe that meets my needs without being over built, clunky, & stiff. I have a narrow foot, so if I could make the toe area less baggy, that'd be the main thing I'd change. Also, the tongue is too thin & it rolls up, but still doesn't bother me once they're laced. And, the fact that I like means it will never sell! They're discontinuing it & have replaced it or surrounded it by turds that are neither fashionable or functional. All that money & creativity & they still can't bring themselves to consistently make a good running shoe for running in.

Overall

Very comfortable shoe with lots of boost material. Crossed trained in the shoes and had zero issues with them. When used outside for runs some minor flaws came up. The shoes are very slippery if there is any moisture on the ground. I also noticed the white boost starts to really look dirty even when just running on roads and sidewalks. Nothing that’s a deal breaker but just what I noticed. Overall great shoe if you can find some deals on them.
