These are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I was looking for something similar to ultra boosts because they were getting a lot of positive reviews and compliments but didn't want to pay quite that much.
I bought these shoes for the purpose of a backup pair of running shoes and more casual wear. But these shoes are so comfortable it may become my main pair of running shoes. The shoes feel very light and after a few miles of running the comfort is still great.
The sizing for me is my normal sizing. I like shoes that have a bit of toe room and not super tight. They feel very comfortable almost like wearing a sock. The sole is very flexible and feels bouncy.
The quality seems pretty good. Doesn't feel cheap and has the colors seen in the sample photo.
Could wear these shoes all day, would recommend them as a running shoe or casual wear.

I don't consider myself a sneakerhead by any means but I have been particularly loyal to Nike's phenomenon series because of how they feel on my feet. I'm flat-footed so the support and feel of my shoes can be felt throughout my leg. But even with age, the price of that series has climbed.
Enter these bad boys, for the price I paid I've been nothing but excited about wearing them. They are running shoes at heart, extremely lightweight, and provide good feedback when making contact with the ground. They fit like a sock with a large sole underneath. I have broken my routine of just wearing my work boots to and from my job to keeping these in my car so I can wear them after the day of work is done.
These can serve as just gym shoes or sneakers they are durable (I haven't run in the rain with them yet) and flexible. I've been hunting for the "every day" sneaker and I think I've found them.

These shoes were great - super lightweight, sleek, looked good. Seemed to be of good quality. However, I had to return them because they are a sock-type shoe and have no laces. I have a super high arch and couldn't get my feet in the shoe. That my problem - not Adidas's or the seller's. It was not apparent (to me, anyway) that there were no laces, so I'm writing this review in case anyone else has high arches. You'll probably want to stick with something that has laces. My search for a similar shoe that has laces continues.....

I wear men’s size 91/2 and these shoes fit me perfectly. I prefer Nike Flex whenever I wear running or walking shoes. My wife and I are very active people, so wearing anything on a regular basis aside from these types of shoes usually results in foot pain. I did not think I would ever find a shoe I would enjoy as much as the Nike Flex. It’s like wearing a light cloud on your feet. They are so lightweight, breathable, while also providing support for walking and running that I have yet to come across a shoe that compares. That said, these are a very close second.
Things I like:
1. They look as great in person as they do in the photos. No joke. They look great.
2. They have this great lip on the back that helps you slip the shoe on. There are actually two places to hold the back of the shoe so that you can slip it on. I think this has to do with the fact that for the most part the shoelaces only tighten around the upper part of the food. The bottom part of the shoe isn’t really constricted by the laces. It stays relatively the same size no matter how tight you tie the laces. That may be bad for some, but I greatly enjoy it.
3. They fit and feel just like the Nike Flex, which is what I was hoping for. Between these and the Nike Flex, I don’t see myself owning any other running or walking shoes. The price and durability let alone the comfort and how lightweight they are can’t be beaten. I’ve been running for over ten years, in 5k’s and longer, and though I used to exclusively wear Asics, I have now hung them up. I also wear these on a regular basis because they look so good too.
4. The price is great.
Things I did not like:
1. I don’t like the shoelaces that came with the shoes. This is usually the case with shoes, but in light of the very few cons, in my opinion, I had to find something wrong with the shoes.
2. The white on the bottom part of the shoes are hard to keep clean. I try to keep them clean and looking nice, but once you scuff them, it’s pretty difficult to get it looking the sparkling white they were when you bought them. These are two very small cons, as it would be very difficult to find a shoe that doesn’t scuff or need different laces, but other than these things I did not find any other cons.
Overall, I greatly enjoy the shoes. I’m glad I made the investment while they still had my size. I hope this helps anyone looking for some perspective on their potential purchase.
