Pros & Cons

Reasons to buy:

User Reviews

  • Can comfortably wear without socks
  • Feels like you’re walking on a cloud, making it a great training shoe.
  • Comfortable to wear during all-day use.
  • Very lightweight compared to other options.

Expert Reviews

  • The wrap-around design on the arch is functional and comfortable.
  • The cushioning feels great and works well to bounce back on energy return.
  • The midsole is durable and long-lasting.
  • More responsive than other options on the market.

Reasons NOT to buy:

User Reviews

  • Many reports of needing to size up to get an accurate fit.
  • Doesn’t have great traction in wet conditions.
  • Very little support in the toe-box, especially on descents.

Expert Reviews

  • Can run hot and is not the most breathable, especially while wearing socks.
  • Awkward to put on while wearing socks.
  • Difficult to loosen the laces while wearing.
  • Some may not like the snug arch fit because it’s not as universal as some other fits in training and running shoes.
  • The floating arch is disconnected from the sole and may not appeal to many users.

Summary:

The Adidas Ultraboost X Running Shoe for women is a durable and responsive option that is well-suited for runners who prefer a lightweight and cushioned shoe. The unique construction of this shoe makes it a niche-choice, and we highly recommend trying it on before purchasing due to the floating arch and the wrap-around fit. We wouldn’t recommend this shoe for those who run in consistently hot conditions, or for those who want to wear non-thin socks.
