Mom and Dad came to the scene and comforted Meg. Quietly in the distance, Meg swore she could hear the mournful notes of Taps floating through the chilly spring air. 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. The Boston 8 maintains its standing as one of the rare shoes that feel fast during a 5k and reliable enough to eat up the daily miles. Grippy and hard-wearing Continental rubber A tight grip is critical for a racing flat intended for high speeds. In the Boston 9s I could confidently round a tight corner without losing much momentum. The only sound came from the aquarium’s filter, purring along as it cleaned the last of the waste from Bubbles, the family goldfish, now upside-down and utterly unresponsive.

Thomas: The Boston 8 is one of my top daily trainers for 2019. The ride is silky, the cushioning is protective yet responsive, the upper fits without irritation, looks good, and secures the foot at all speeds. I’d put the Boston 8 up against the Pegasus 36, Reebok RunFast Energy and the Rincon. All would be solid choices for “do it all” shoes, daily mileage, tempo runs, and racing. 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. 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.

Adidas Adizero Boston 8 Intro

Instead the compression molded EVA insole was developed directly by Adidas and similar to that of last year's model. In the central part we will find a large orange writing to indicate the presence of «Boost» technology: That's why we don't think there are big break points. On the one hand the generous presence of rubber in the sole, combined with the Boost foam, considered by experts to be very durable, will make it possible to run really long. Even the double-layered mesh sole is really durable, in which case we might be more worried about the feeling of warmth than the rest: I have always questioned whether this system really provides any technical advantage or if just adds to the shoe’s weight.

So the next run, a similar distance, but with intervals and again the shoe felt much better when putting it through the speed part of the intervals. 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.The Adidas Boston Boost 5 was a nearly perfect shoe for me: lightweight, durable, springy, and smooth. I bought multiple pairs and used them for all types of running: long runs, trails, workouts, daily training, and races. While subtle these tweaks have improved the transition of the shoe which wasn’t bad to begin with but now smoother with a bit of added power through toe off that it was missing before. In conclusion, Adidas Boston 8 are shoes suitable for amateur runners with an optimized weight. Although they are A2 shoes, they can certainly be used for long, the change in design has made them softer than in the past, precisely to allow them to run longer. As we suggested in our detailed Adidas guide, we believe it is the most interesting model in the Adidas collection, unless you want to use them even in the evening. In this case, we suggest switching to Ultra Boost 19. But for the preparation, the Boston 8 remains an excellent and above all eclectic footwear. Availability For medium runs, the shoe clearly shows the reason why it was designed. We have tried them both on repeated short and "for 4 times the turn of the death". The Boston were reactive, but not as responsive to the previous model 7. On the other hand, we were impressed by the good protection. Clearly the design of the shoe is excellent and the feeling of support and stability is a hallmark of Adidas. Long runs

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. Over the years, it has seen a number of releases, including Boost foam in 2013, cushioning material delivering responsive support that is more durable and provides greater energy return than traditional EVA foam. Tailored Fiber Placement debuted in 2018 with the Solar Boost, and this new design technique, which involves individually placing each fiber of the upper, creates an extra snug fit. The front of the shoe has a different orientation with the 8 having a more horizontal orientation than a vertical found in the 7. However, I am not sure how it holds up with regard to durability. After 50 miles, I have already noticed some worn areas on the outsole. Particularly, there’s a tear in the rubber at midfoot on the right shoe. Then finally it was a half marathon training run, where their were steady miles completed. The good news is that there was no bad news, yes the lacing was still there, but that could be personal preference, and the shoe didn't feel as flexible but again this could be bedding in, and no doubt will feel more comfortable after putting more miles in.The family scooped up Bubbles and the funeral procession began. To little Meg, the ten-foot journey to the bathroom seemed like a miles-long death march. As her feet hit the tile floor, Meg laid eyes on the porcelain tomb where Bubbles would be laid to rest. With a dull plop and a sad pull on the handle, Bubbles began his journey into the afterlife. 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. Instead of finding hidden eggs and chocolate bunnies, little 5-year-old Meaghan discovered a lifeless body, face-up in the water. That question is still unanswered by the Boston 9. My instinct is that the shoes would be just fine with out it. She would never know because soon after, she won a few more goldfish at a carnival and got all of them mixed up.
