    Adidas Ultra Boost after 1 year interview:
    How many days within a year did you actually wear these?
    I did the math and a conservative estimate is about 250 days last year...averaging about 4 miles a day.
    Did the boost still feel responsive?
    They actually do. I don't think I'd go running in them, because the sole is so far gone, walking around is still great.
    Would you buy these sneakers again?
    Short Answer: Yes
    Long Answer: I'll buy another pair when they stop being comfortable. There will probably be Ultra Boost 5.0 by the time I retire this pair.
    Do you think they are worth $180?
    There's some sticker shock, for me at least, but I like to take care of my feet, since I walk so much on my commute. If you like getting your money's worth, I don't think you'll find a better value for the money. They’ve lasted 3-4 times longer than my other energy boosts or supernovas..AND they have the continental soles now (which mine don’t) ,so you shouldn’t have to be afraid of the soles wearing out that fast.
    How did they hold up compared to other sneakers that you wore for extended periods of time?
    The sole rapidly showed more wear than my Energy boosts or Super Nova Boosts, like in the first 20 miles, but they only improved in comfort over time. The Energies or Supernovas only lasted 3-4 months of heavy use, before my feet and knees would start hurting. It takes a really long day, after a year of heavy use, for the Ultras to hurt, if at all, even though the rubber is straight up gone in one place.
    Anything else you want to add, feel free!
    I have zero regrets about buying my Ultra boosts. The only time I wouldn’t wear them is in the rain, which is does a lot of in Oregon. Hopefully the hype dies down so I can get them in a color I want, but I doubt that’ll happen anytime soon. 

    Ultraboost is a great shoe; you mentioned that boost is uncleanable. the way I clean boost is using a magic eraser. It takes out most stains; because I am a sneakerhead, the boost has never been filthy like the orange one in the vid, but it seems to work with mine.

    • @Summer0fLove1967
      @Summer0fLove1967 7 років тому +19

    • @Clubpenguin64
      @Clubpenguin64 7 років тому +5

      Agreed, I feel like a lot of the "permanent" stains most people get can be easily avoided with simple maintenance. I spend 5 minutes every week or two with a good brush/ soap or magic eraser/ simple green on all my Boosts and they all look brand new, even my daily beaters.

    I used my lunarepics for a similar amount, maybe less but ran two half marathons in them. Surprisingly the pods are still there (besides missing outer heel edges.) and there's no visual damage to the flyknit. The all lunarlon outsole advantage is that it's kinda like cleaning an eraser, if you use light abrasion it goes back to pristine white every time.

    even the continental rubber doesn't hold up that well. my first pair of UB with CR I wore daily to walk around school and the front part of the outsole is pretty faded. my second pair of uncaged with CR I wore to the gym once and the outsole got so faded that I'm scared to wear them again.

    Gotta say, continental rubber makes a hell of a difference, I bought a pair for my Physical training shoes for my job in the army, I run cross country probably about 8 miles per day with few expectations and it wore down a bit but not all that noticeable, one thing that is noticeable is the boosts colour, that stuff is a dirt magnet, but you can avoid it if you wash it ever 2 weeks or so with soapy water.

  • @kuaraba
    @kuaraba 7 років тому +3

    I got my Ultra Boost OGs (also no continental rubber) for 2 Years now and I did everything in them and they still look good. The rubber is still good, they're relatively clean and the boost is still comfortable. I guess if you take care and don't wear them every single day ( I wore mine like 2-4 times a week since I got them) they can hold up for like 2-3 years easily

    I've had the same problem of yellowing boost after wearing my ultra boosts on dirt tracks. You can clean the upper layer of dirt but then usually it leaves stains. I've found a way to get rid of that. You use the same unyellowing agent you would use to ice up soles on Jordan's. I used angelus' sole icee product on my boost and it made it look brand new.

  • @someusername121
    @someusername121 6 років тому +4

    a) the insoles die after about 6 months, at least if you have high arches like me. b) the boost discolors over time no matter how much you clean it c) the uncaged ones wear out the achilles tendon area d) even the continental rubber doesn't last that long. These shoes last a year max. 3 pair owner. You don't want to own these if you can't afford to drop the $180-$200 every year.

      Didn't know that! Is the wear & tear after heavy, rough use or light to mediocre use? For the price tag these shoes must last longer after any type of use I think! So that's a strong negative point on these shoes to watch out for fellas!

    Yes, UBs sizing really inconsistent.. The Haven colab UB runs really small when I get TTS. The same with Kith UB run slightly small but abit better than Haven colab. Seems all Uncaged UBs run slightly small. The 3.0 runs ok but very stretchy. My best fit with TTS is the black SNS colab UB.I prefer to use the insole. After around 3-4 days wear, everything is better fit.

    Why tf do people buy shoes like UBs and freak out about the sole getting dirty. It's a fucking shoe. Yeah, I get the whole collection thing, and I have about 9 pairs that I keep well maintained, but when I'm wearing my UBs I don't have a heart attack if I walk on some dirt and they get dirty, or if I'm out running and the soles are worn a bit after a couple of months of constant use. The shoes aren't sold as an indestructible piece of footwear that is immune to stains. They're sold as shoes that you put on your feet and wear until you want to buy a new pair. How long you wait to buy a new pair is up to you, but the way some of you talk it seems the moment a shoe gets dirty you retire it. Throw it in the washer and it's good as new. Btw, nobody at your middle/high school cares about your shoes except you and your friends, and they definitely don't care what the soles look like.

    I usually go down .5 size on Ultra Boost, feels more comfortable that way since I don't tie the laces. I do feel like there's sometimes a slight variance in the sizing in certain models though, so if I can't try them on I'll order TTS.

I use them when I'm out and about so I use them as casual shoes. They don't get trashed like those shoes. My shoes look a month old even after wearing them for 6 months. I buy ultra boost with continental rubber. So far I've been using the ultra boost all terrain and they're really good shoes for long distance.

    I've had my Triple White V2 pair for over a year now and I've worn them a little over 200x. I only average 2.5 walking miles a day. However, I'm constantly on my feet at work standing behind an airport counter. There's only a handful of sneakers I can wear where at the end of the day my feet don't hurt or ache. Ultra Boost is definitely in my Top 3. The other 2 would be a Nike Air Max 1 Flyknit and the Nike Air Max Zero. I like the Nike stability, but I love the boost technology too. My V2 have held up really well, so I'm on the lookout for the Triple Black V3. I'm curious if there's any more improvements from adidas as far as longevity, or for the life span of the sole. That's my only complaint from the ultra boost. Sole wears out too quickly, and there really isn't any arch support after a few months of wear. At least in my opinion. Still worth the price tag.. retail that is.

The PK is fine but the glue to the midsole is kinda coming off, the boost is super yellow and I cleaned these more than my am90, the out sole is fine, but the boost has cracks, missing chunks, and have numerous scratches. My ub are still much more comfortable obviously, but rather disappointed in the longevity of my UB

Soles are worn down but thats expected, primeknit is still intact, they honestly get more comfy the more i wear them. Worn them to the gym, worn them out, and they never let me down. They've also been in the wash like 3-4x and they come out looking brand new. Great shoes. For comparison my flyknit trainers didnt hold up nearly as well, and werent as comfy.
