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.
