Seen from the side, the Continental sole makes a beautiful figure and above all in the front it generously covers the Boost midsole: From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected. Looks-wise, the Boston 8 contours the foot to make the shoe look like a missile. Sometimes looking fast is the second best thing to being fast. That’s what my middle school gym teacher told me, anyway. Appearance aside, the upper fit well and I had no heel slip even though I was sent a pair that is a half size larger than my normal size. The thin attached tongue and the lightly padded collar added the right amount of comfort without being puffy or cumbersome. The upper is an improvement too. On the surface, the knitted-mesh upper looks like it would be warm. There aren’t any large pores on the upper to vent heat, but it did a decent job with the Coolever mesh lining in extremely hot (90º F with 85% humidity) running conditions.
Robbe: I’m gonna tell you to take Thomas’s thoughts on these, especially if you enjoyed previous models of the Boston. I mean, I thought this was a good shoe, but it didn’t jump out at me as a go-to. It’s certainly better than a lot of shoes I’ve reviewed this year, but I’m not going to keep them by the front door where my wife can trip over them for weeks on end. That spot is reserved for only the best. The Boston 9 arch is relatively high compared to the Saucony models I typically train and race in. It definitely took some getting used to. These shoes might not be the best option for runners with low or flat arches.Additionally, the upper was comfortable. I did not develop any hotspots, have to fidget with the tongue or feel too restricted in any way. Boost cushioning performs as expected Thomas: The lacing can take a few misfires before you get it dialed in, and it isn’t the easiest set up to make adjustments. The BOOST has that cushion with a pop, but when you compare it to Skechers Hyperburst, BOOST seems heavy and dated. In this shoe, it still works but you can’t help but wonder how much better the shoe could be with a light foam that delivers the same amount of energy return as the BOOST. Robbe: I’m going to be honest in that I’m working through some injury stuff so didn’t get in the 20 miles on this, so take my review with a grain of salt.
The amount of coverage seems to be the same with bit more added in the midfoot to accommodate the widening of the torsion system and to keep stability consistent. While it wasn’t an ice box, no shoe is going to feel cool in those temps. All that to say, it got me through an 11-mile run feeling no worse than any other shoe. Height of the shoe: even if the differential has remained the same, the height from the ground has slightly increased; Bubbles’ body jolted. Could it be? A resurrection on Easter morning? Miraculously, Bubbles began to live up to his name, swimming against the swirl. The family jumped into action and pulled the beloved undead family pet from the bowl. Had little Meg been tending to the Jesus Christ of goldfish all along? I tend to size up half a size (in comparison to my normal day-to-day shoes) in Adidas running shoes, so I’d say these fit pretty true to size. They are on the narrower side, so if you do have really wide feet, you may struggle to actually get your foot in these.

Adidas may have done this to help with the flow of the shoe, but I have not found it to affect the feel. The outsole is still incredibly durable and grips well on wet, dry, pavement, and gravel. As far as the ride, it’s a trimmed down shoe, so while there is some BOOST comfort, it feels pretty firm overall and I wasn’t feeling much pop from it. I just want a bit more cushion in an everyday trainer. This could be used as a faster marathon shoe (I mean, it’s called Boston), but I don’t know that I’d enjoy it as a daily trainer or long run shoe for the reasons mentioned above. She would never know because soon after, she won a few more goldfish at a carnival and got all of them mixed up.
That question is still unanswered by the Boston 9. My instinct is that the shoes would be just fine with out it.
The front of the shoe has a different orientation with the 8 having a more horizontal orientation than a vertical found in the 7. Now, that I have run 50 miles in the Adidas Adizero Boston 8, I have noticed some durability issues and have a couple of critiques, but I am largely pleased with the shoes’ snappy and do-everything-well capabilities. Appearance of the Adizero Boston 8 The Stretchweb Continental rubber outsole is very much similar to the 7. The materials are the same but the pattering on the 8 is different.
Great Deal
