Most comfortable and supportive running shoes I've found
I had no idea I could love a pair of running shoes so much! Adidas is generally not my go-to brand, but I've worn a few pairs in the past, thinking they were OK. On a whim, I tried on a pair of the Adidas Ultraboost 19's at an Adidas outlet store. I was amazed by the cushion and support this shoe provided.Immediately upon putting on the shoes, I could feel the firm yet soft support under my arches, support cupping around my heels and under the balls of my feet. The cushion of the shoe reminded me of memory foam, but more supportive, not squishy.I was also pleased that my true size (9.5 women's B-width) was Adidas' true size for me. My other two usual brands for athletic shoes had me in 10 and 10.5's which never did feel as good on my feet no matter what socks I wore with them as the 9.5 Ultraboost 19's did right out of the box.My feet are medium width, but I prefer a roomy toe box. The Adidas Ultraboost 19 shoes provide adequate forefoot width - allowing for foot swell - and my toes don't feel crowded in the box. The mesh fabric of the shoe is breathable, and the shoes feel well constructed overall. The cuff is soft and non-binding, the laces cinch up comfortably and the shoe's tread is not trail-ready, but good for treadmills and pavement. I can wear them with or without socks with equal comfort.Amazon's price was better than the outlet store, but to get a deal in my size I had to choose a color that wasn't my favorite. I chose the orange (peach actually) color which while not my favorite is still attractive and true to the photos on Amazon.I'm so pleased and looking forward to pouncing on another pair when I find the right deal. Highly recommend them!

Like running on clouds
My last pair of Adidas shoes were the Pure Boost, and those were really great for my long distance runs. I bought these shoes hoping they too would be just as amazing and was not disappointed! Just 6 miles put on them and they feel great and normally it takes a few more miles to really break in a shoe and get that good feel. Very light but still incredibly springy and cushiony, like walking on clouds!I know other brands to include Adidas have been the victim of knock off companies sneaking in on Amazon and people thinking they have a real pair of Adidas only to have a flimsy imposter, but these are genuine! Note that on the inside of the shoe, it says 'boost' in the bubble lettering, continental clearly stamped into the bottoms of the shoe, the insert when removed shows an even and stitched underlayment and not just a bunch of glue holding the shoe together, the woven fabric on top is thick and layered while the knock off shoes typically have a thin flimsy fabric that is just patterned to look interwoven from a distance. Not these shoes! These were legit, at least from this seller.If you've never worn Adidas, I recommend trying them on in store (though I couldn't find the UltraBoost 2019 in stores yet but they're all basically the same size wise), I wear an 8.5 in brands like Nike and UA who seem to run small, but need an 8 in Adidas and just about every other non runnkng shoe brand.I firmly recommend these to anyone looking for great running shoes!

These are my fourth pair of Adidas Boost, and I love them!
This is my fourth pair of Adidas Boost and my second pair of the 2019 version, which is my favorite version of the bunch. I actually had tried the 2020 version of the Ultra Boost and really disliked the changes they made, so I returned those to Adidas and got these instead. They are exactly like my former pair of Adidas Ultra Boost 19, but just in a different color. This is a soft purple with an earth-tone tinge to the fabric, and I love the look of them. They are cushiony, long lasting (my previous pair lasted for a full year of heavy usage), and so comfortable. I wish Adidas didn't change the construction of these when they made the 20 version because I'm worried I won't be able to find my size in the 19 version when these wear out in a year. Anyway, these are my favorite running shoes of all time. I normally wear a 6.5 in regular shoes (heels, sandals, casual tennies), so I normally would get a 7 in running shoes (it's what I do for Nikes). But for these Ultra Boost 19's, I stick to my true size of 6.5, and they fit perfectly. Though I must say that the Ultra Boost 20 did not (I ordered the 6.5, and they were too small due to the changes Adidas made to the shoe). So my advice: get the 19's and not the 20's, and get the true size you normally wear instead of going up a size. And get this color! Or any color available because these shoes are amazing!

Great support.
I’ve been running in these for about 2 and a half weeks now, coming off of a pretty bad shin splints injury from wearing Nike Frees for way too long haha. These shoes are extremely comfortable. By far the nicest running shoes I’ve ever run in. I will say it has been adjustment in terms of getting used to the support these shoes offer. I’ve always been a fan of how light Nike Frees are but they don’t offer the support I need for how often I run now. The shoes feel a little heavy at first but I am now getting used to them and LOVE how nice and supportive they feel.

Perfect for high arches! Durable and long-lasting!
I've been buying the Adidas ultraboost shoes for the last 3 years. I have a wider foot and very high arches and I've never found the "perfect" shoe for me until I bought my first pair - since then, I've stuck to what works! The arches on the ultraboost fit like a dream, and the sock style of the shoe provides more space and makes them more comfortable for wider feet. I run often and I do not have sore feet afterwards since buying these shoes. These have also been very durable. My last two pairs of ultraboosts have lasted me about 1 1/2 years each and probably would last longer, but I just decided to upgrade after that time. I'm expecting this pair to be similar. If you've had similar trouble finding shoes before, I cannot recommend these enough. I typically wear a 9 and I bought an 8 1/2 based on the reviews. These shoes fit perfectly. They are pricier, but definitely worth it!
