The shoe handled everything I threw at it well. I’ve tested this shoe on a number of different running sessions - from easy recovery miles, to long runs, and tempo sessions.

That said, if you’re new to the Ultraboost line, it’s not that plush underfoot, or that lightweight compared to other everyday running shoes. In fact, it weighs about the same as the max-cushioned Nike Invincible 3.Īgain, this isn’t the end of the world - if you’re an Ultraboost fan, it’s likely that you’ll love the lighter feel of the shoe, which does feel a little faster and a tad more responsive on the run. It’s still heavier than the Nike Pegasus 39, the New Balance 1080v12, and the On Cloudmonster. That said, it’s not a particularly light shoe. This is a lighter shoe, when compared to the Ultraboost 22, and the Ultraboost 21. Adidas Ultraboost Light review: Run performanceĭoes the new midsole foam make much of a difference? In a word, yes. There’s also still the extra plastic support to the arch of the outsole, designed to help prevent pronation on the run.

The outsole of the Ultraboost Light is also pretty similar to that of the Ultraboost 22 - there’s still the same Continental rubber outsole, best suited to miles on the pavements, or light trails.
