Great fit for my feet. Extra room in toe box and snug around top. Wide and stable foundation. Excellent quality and very stylish. The green is a great color as well. A great shoe for training, running, or just kicking around in. ... ler mais

This is really great shoe of comfort for step I take “it’s like stepping on clouds” you can also wear them as casual of ou like, but be careful on not getting dirty with types of liquids because it can leave a stain on the plastic and fabric.. But truthfully every shoe is like that.. Shoes are meant to be dirty in time anyway. Again this shoe is amazing but it’s very tight in time it will be lose, it’s like wearing socks but it’s a little bit thicker. But that’s normal if it’s tight on you. Overall really great shoe to wear. ... ler mais

These shoes look great - I love the colors, with the exception of the always dirty white outsole. The problem is that the Earth Day 2018 Parley UltraBoost with the teal/mint colored fabric heel cup, have a different material on the inner collar and sock liner that is not nearly as plush or comfortable as most 4.0's or 3.0's. It is more of a mesh material on these which irritates my ankle. I will also reiterate what some other reviewers have said which is that the fabric heel cup on these is also noticeably tighter than the plastic counters on most UltraBoost which may provide a little better lockdown, but is not as comfortable. Finally, although I do like the look of the fabric cage, I don't like that it is slightly shiny, and it often bends into odd positions because it is not as stable as the usual plastic/rubber ones. For these reasons, I will likely be returning these, which is a shame because I really do like them otherwise. While I can't recommend this specific pair, I do recommend any other pair of UltraBoost - this is the first pair I have come across that I didn't like. ... ler mais

I have two pairs: triple white and core black. True to size: 10 (men’s) Triple whites: I ordered a size 10 in the triple whites and they fit perfect. Core black: Purchased a size 10 and they felt like a size 9! I could barely walk in them and they were very uncomfortable. Adidas.com was great and I was able to return them and purchase a size 10.5. I received the size 10.5 and they were better, but still very tight (1/2 size too small). It appeared I needed to go up a full size up in the core black. These shoes are very comfortable, however, I am very disappointed in the inconsistencies they have with sizing. I tried on several different colorways at the store and I ranged from size 10, 10.5 and 11. I would highly recommend trying it on before buying. These shoes should have received a 5 star rating, but the inconsistency with the sizing affected my rating. ... ler mais

I saw the alpha bounce in Dick's sporting goods several months ago and liked the style/looks of the shoe. I ordered online to save time/money but will not do this again. The overall comfort on a 1-10 scale is 6. I found the shoes to be a bit tight and comfort is ultimately my #1 priority. ... ler mais

I got these shoes on sale and I have to tell you they're the best running shoes I've ever had. Running is so comfortable you don't realize the concrete is there. So far these shoes have been the most comfortable I've ever worn. I also hear that they're good lifestyle shoes as well and look good with a lot of things. ... ler mais

I ordered ultraboosts at the same time, same size, but these were way larger. Still have lots of room in width and length. They look good, and could be more comfortable. I have cloudfoams that were more comfortable out of the box. ... ler mais

Ultra Boost has got to be the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever set foot on. The amount of Boost in them is just phenomenal. The materials used and the build quality are excellent. Me wearing this pretty much every day despite the minimalistic design speaks to how dope they look and how ridiculously comfortable they are. But this color way, in particular, has got to be the coolest Ultra Boost of all time. The photos don’t give them justice. Trust me, just get them and see and feel for yourself. I’ve bought one for myself and one for my dad and I’ve never seen him more hyped about a shoe ever. Definitely satisfied with this purchase. ... ler mais

I’ve had a number of ultaboost shoes (I love them generally), but these aren’t the best. I think they’re based on an older style and they feel a little lumpy and large compared to the current Parley range for example. These just didn’t fit me so well, one shoe slipped more than the other, so i returned them for a pair of Parley ultraboost - which I can’t fault. ... ler mais

Really cool and firm fit shoes. Locks your ankles good so you don’t strain them while running. The shoes has materials which seem more durable. The base of the sole are nice and wide for better grip when running and less chances of accidently twisting your ankle on uneven surface. I recommend these shoes. ... ler mais

The pics are a bit misleading where I thought these were more on the black/grey side. Turns out they are green. I usually wear size 10 but I had to order 10.5. even then, the shoe is tight in my right foot. I guess, with more use, it will loosen up. ... ler mais

While all the design details & color is on point, the fabric feels a bit too loose for my taste. While it is this enough to wear in summer to run, it lacks the oomph other leggings have as far as a luxe hand to smooth out any dimples. These leggings will show imperfections but on the upside, are not sheer. All that said, everything else about them is great...just wish the material was of a higher quality. Purchased at sale price and still planning on exchanging/returning. :( ... ler mais

Comfortable. Before I even started running in the Alphabounce, I wore them solely as causal walking shoes & I got tons of compliments on how "comfortable" they looked. Then I ran the 49th Atlanta Peachtree Road Road in them & they just felt amazing. I ended up buying another pair of all-black Alphabounce City Running shoes to be my go-to, everday running shoe & I'll probably buy another pair of Alphabounces in a customized, all-black colorway from Adidas with black soles & use those for cross-training. And for a hundred dollars (or less on sale) is there a better value running or performance-wise? ... ler mais

My first adidas shoe was a harden vol 1 and I loved them other than they were a tad too small and they kind of tore apart on the inside of the ankle part of the shoe because of this. So on this shoe I ordered a 1/2 size up and it fit perfect. I love these shoes. I wear them every where. Even around the house I will for sure order another pair some day. If the price comes down I guarantee they would sell even more and faster. And I would probably order my next pair even sooner. But alas. They are pricey ... ler mais

Easily most comfortable shoe I have ever purchased. I am not a sneaker head, and would class myself as a regular joe. But in unrelated conversations about favourite purchases in forum threads, the Ultra Boost was continuously mentioned. When an unmissable deal went out, I initially purchased based on curiosity, due to the repeat vouches on comfort. Surely it was hyperbole...? Once they arrived (on time as estimated in all correspondence for the 2 day free delivery), I was pleasently surprised that they not only exceeded my expectations, but that I had slept on such a quality product for so long. Admittedly I didn’t pay full price for them, but as a new fan, I shall add to my collection of footwear in the future without hesitation. ... ler mais

The material is very comfortable. I am a 6'0 athletic build with a 45-48in chest. The fit upper body is athletic fit with enough room to freely move and do workouts. The length is long enough to keep your waist line hidden even when doing pullups. ... ler mais

I believe these shoes are the replacement for the Supernovas. I was fan of the Supernovas and was a bit concerned with all the changes adidas made, but I'm happy to say I absolutely love these shoes. It addresses every single complaint brought up by customers regarding the Supernova. The tongue on the Solar Glide do not slide because of the non central position of the tongue's eyelet for the laces. The heel cup does a much better job at securing your heel in place. No heel slippage without any added discomfort. The Achilles region is more flexible and more comfortable than the already comfortable previous iterations. Adidas also improved on breathability and overall comfort of the upper. Another improvement is is the lockdown through the middle of your foot. Just be careful to not over tighten the laces as they create a lot of friction with the eyelets of the shoes, which helps securing your foot in place, but does take some effort to adjust the laces before your first run. It's smooth sailing after that first adjustment, though. One thing that I noticed, but only on my first 1/4 mile with these shoes was the edge of the tongue against my ankle. I thought that might become an issue before fully breaking in these shoes, but that feeling went away just a few minutes into my first run in them and has never returned. Although these weigh about the same as the Supernovas, these Solar Glide feel way more nimble and fast than its predecessor. The ride on the Solar Glide is a bit more responsive, and therefore ever so slightly harder, than the Supernova. To put it this way, the Supernova (Glide 9) distanced itself from the Supernova Glide 8 and got more similar to the Energy Boost (now Solar Boost). The Solar Glide go back to its roots and have a ride more in line with the award winning Solar Glide 8. It's still very soft, as it is a solid daily trainer, but now it has a noticeably faster transition as the forefoot of these shoes became slightly harder than its predecessor's. In short, these shoes are great for long runs and recovery runs, but will not let you down whenever you need or want to pick up the pace. These are my favorite daily trainers, but they are fast enough that I would race with these without hesitation. Adidas gets sometimes overlooked by runners because of the fanfare some adidas running get from casual wearers and sneaker heads. However, they should not overlook models like the Solar Glide or the Boston or many other models. These are absolutely phenomenal. I loved them so much that I even got a second pair for when I run my first Solar Glide to the ground. Even got it in the same colorway, as I find the blue/green color way amazingly beautiful. Just a small bonus to an already amazing running shoe. ... ler mais

When I got this in the mail, I was expecting what I’ve seen in the quality from the ultra boost line in other, non-parley editions. Not only does it really make me feel better by helping the environment, but it also feels easily just as comfortable (if not more so) than regular ultra boosts, but it is also surprisingly lighter than the usual shoe (I think due to the use of fabric rather than plastic in the cage structure). Well done, Adidas! ... ler mais

The soles of the shoes are super comfy, as with all ultraboosts. But I felt that the elastic at the top of your foot, around your ankle, the area that's pulling the shoe down, was too tight. I have to take occasional breaks. Hopefully they will stretch out a bit. ... ler mais
