The adidas Ultraboost 22 is a well-cushioned running shoe with a sock-like knit upper and BOOST foam technology that provides energy return and support. It is best suited for recovery runs or easy days, and may not be ideal for long mileage or runners with wide feet.
+ pros
- The Ultraboost 22 has a socklike knit upper that cradles the foot well and a plastic midfoot cage that provides just the right amount of lateral support.
- The BOOST technology in the midsole provides energy return and a bonus pep in the step, making it a good option for tired legs and recovery runs.
- The Continental rubber outsole easily grips during wet conditions and adds durability to the shoe, making it one of the most bombproof shoes tested this season.
- cons
- The shoe is heavy and not ideal for long mileage or superlong runs during marathon training.
- The low-volume toe box may be too snug for runners with wider feet.
- The high price tag of $190 may be a deterrent for some buyers.
