I have only ran in the Boost once, but there appears to be plenty of cushion, which is what I was after. I typically run 50 miles per week and bought the Boost for an upcoming marathon. The one nit that I have is that they appear to run hot, but like I said I only ran in them once so that may change. The outer surface appears to be like a neoprene material. They are a fast looking shoe and they feel light on the feet so hopefully that translate into a good race.
Pros: runs true to size, good arch support, comfortable, good cushioning
Cons: not breathable

These shoes are the main reason I didn't have to pull out of a recent 10 miler. My shins were hurting while wearing my old shoes, and the first time I ran with these the pain was totally gone. So far they have been excellent.
Pros: lightweight, runs true to size, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable

This is an extremely comfortable, very lightweight running shoe, and fits like a glove. I read alot of reviews before purchasing, and was a little skeptical of the suggestion to go up in size. To everyone reading this before your purchase: DEFINITELY go up 1/2 a size from your regular shoe size. I did, and the shoes are still snug but comfortable, with socks or without. Very Highly recommended!!
Pros: lightweight, good arch support, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable

I didn't notice any energy boost from the shoes and like most running shoes they caused a hot spot on my right foot at two miles. I think that they are an average running shoe and not worth the high price
Pros: lightweight, good arch support, good cushioning, breathable
Cons: runs small, uncomfortable, non-durable, foot hot spot, no energy boost

Not The Breakthrough Adidas Was Hoping For

I read about this shoe in "Footwear News", footwear industry pubiication. Adidas proudly announced that the "Energy Boost" running shoe was a major breakthrough. I have run in Adidas Gazelle and Tempo for years. Tried this shoe as a substitute. It is almost as good as the current Tempo - as a distance running trainer - but it is not revolutionary. And the "Energy Boost" model costs considerably more. Lesson: stick with Adidas Tempo.
Pros: lightweight, breathable
Cons: poor arch support, poor cushioning

I have always been a nike guy for running shoes, but took a chance on these based on all the reviews saying they're the best shoe for 2013. I have to say I'm really impressed. Super light and comfortable. I have a narrow foot and these fit nice and snug. Ordering a half size larger was correct.
The only negative goes to Eastbay as they ship them in a bag so the box gets destroyed.
Pros: lightweight, durable, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable, get half size larger
