adidas Men's Ultraboost 19 Running Shoes

I have been a Saucony Triumph and recently the Saucony Ride ISO Fit fan for life. I have been noticing the Ultraboost 19 on Adidas website and on Amazon and became a huge fan of how they look but had no idea how they would be for running. I bought a pair on Amazon and I absolutely LOVE the shoes. They fit like a sock and have great cushioning in the entire sole. It feels like you are being propelled forward with each stride due to the design of the shoe. I love the looks of the shoe and it's comfort and performance. I'm a Ultraboost fan for good!!!

Just to preface this review, I love Adidas UltraBoosts. I own three UB4.0's and I own a pair of UB19's. They are my favorite shoe and I just want more!As for fit, this shoe will be a little tight at first, especially if you leave the insole in the shoe. I generally wear a 10.5 for all of my shoes, and these were a little uncomfortable at first. Keep wearing them, they loosen a little over time. I actually wear all my UB's without the insole. They're much more comfortable to me, and the design of the UB19 with wrap-around primeknit makes it very comfortable and uniform, similar to a sock.These shoes have a bit more Boost cushioning on the heel end, and you can definitely feel the difference if you're used to wearing other UB's. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. I haven't gone on a run in these, nor will I, but if I got a pair of Core Blacks or something I could throw around, I'll update this review.The looks can be a little divisive. I personally love the Legend Consortium colorway, it's navy blue with gold accents, it's not too futuristic looking. They obviously do look and feel taller than other UB's, more geared toward performance than lifestyle. If you're looking for performance, I'd probably recommend going for a dedicated running shoe over these, but they do feel fashion forward for lifestyle. Try them out!

Best running shoes I have ever owned.

These shoes are amazing! I always felt like I have weird feet, depending on the model of the shoe most of the times 9.5 would be too tight or too short and size 10 shoes would be too big. This one on size 10 is perfect and snugged. I love the material they are done and how cushion feels great. Like I said in the headline, I got these three months ago, in the middle of the pandemic and I've used them almost daily. I work in photo and video production so I walk a lot on busy days and my workouts involve cardio and weights and some runs and these shoes are all around great. The way that I used them I will probably wear them out 9-12 months from purchase, maybe more, but I will buy another pair! The recycled tire rubber on the bottom is great but it does squeak a bit on certain floors but I am not too worried about that.

I am a woman but I bought the men's version because I liked this gray color (not available in women's sizes). I wear an 8 in women's, bought a 7 in mens. Fit perfectly. I have a narrow heal and wide toe box, so Adidas is great. The material fits like a super secure thick sock (flexible but secure) and the Adidas logo part ties up to make you feel secure. Super easy to slip on. They are super cushy and comfy to walk in. This gray color goes with everything. I'm healing from an foot/ankle injury, so I bought these as a daily shoe to wear (even to work) as I heal and I'm happy with the results. I have not run in them (nor will for a long time given the injury) but I do love the shoe and think I'll get my money's worth in wear.

This was my 12th pair of Adidas Boost running shoes and my first Ultra Boosts, the other 11 being generation 1-4 of the Energy Boost series. I typically run 20 miles a week and put about 400-500 miles on these shoes. I really like the Ultra Boost 19 but there are two important things to know about this shoe if you're a runner: (1) FLAW - Adidas changed the insole of these shoes to a much thinner insert vs Energy Boosts that started to fold over and bunch up during runs after I had about 300 miles on the shoes. There was no choice but to replace the inserts with some from my prior Energy Boost 4's. Adidas should fix this flaw and go back to the type used in the Energy Boost shoes or make the inserts out of something stiffer. The new inserts are just crap. My brother had the same experience with these shoes. (2) CAVEAT - The shoes have very little lateral support, which is disclosed by Adidas (unlike the crap inserts), but is not something to take lightly. These are for long cruising runs, nothing the slightest bit technical. While the extreme level of Boost cushion is lovely, you do feel a bit like you're up on platforms. In general, I love these - uppers are sock-like and the cushion is just awesome. Ordering my second pair right now, and throwing the inserts away the moment they arrive.

Got these a couple weeks ago for a good deal. I had been running in some old Nikes that fit poorly and made my knees hurt. I'm training for marathon distances and needed a serious shoe. After a lot of research, I decided on these. Happy I did, because so far, it is the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. Slides on like a sock and immediately fits perfectly. Running in them has been like running on a cloud so far. Not sure of the durability yet, but the rubber sole seems strong. I will update the review if anything changes.

When the 19s were released I was a bit skeptical and thought the shoe was ugly compare to the 4.0. However, I must say that not only are these more comfortable than the predecessors the style will grow on you. I now find myself going to these over my other Ultraboosts. In regards to size, I was going up a size with the 4.0, but these are true to size. The knit is slightly stiffer and is an improvement in performance. I have received so many compliments on the crystal/blue colorway. If you love the previous versions, these will not disappoint, but there is a slight adjustment period.
