adidas Ultraboost Shoes

Originally debuted as elite performance sneakers, adidas Ultraboost shoes quickly gained clout beyond the realm of running too. Today, they're available as performance shoes as well as lifestyle sneakers designed for casual wear. The performance edition of Ultraboost shoes helps runners experience their best-ever run. The sneakers are designed for everyday running, no matter your distance or pace. Ultra-comfortable and ultra-responsive, Ultraboost shoes come with all of the most innovative performance techs adidas has to offer. Discover features such as adidas Light Boost for lightweight cushioning, adidas Primeknit for a secure feel and Torsion System for a smooth, steady stride.

When the Ultraboost shoes first dropped in 2015, they became an instant icon in the world of fashion. This prompted adidas to make a lifestyle iteration of the sneakers. Just as comfortable as their performance counterparts, the sportswear version takes the silhouette of the Ultraboost and adapts it for the day-to-day. Think: collabs, cool colors and premium materials you wouldn't typically see on a running shoe, from genuine leather to buttery soft suede. You can also find some of the original techs that made the Ultraboost such a favorite, such as responsive adidas Boost and supportive adidas Primeknit. Explore the selection of Ultraboost shoes at adidas for lifestyle sneakers and performance shoes that keep you feeling your best.

Ultraboost Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace Ultraboost?

In general, replace your adidas Ultraboost running shoes every 480K to 800K. If you run 5K per day, that's about three to five months of wear. However, your shoes will wear differently depending on how you use them. Rough trails, harsh weather and direct sunlight can cause your shoes to wear faster. If the outsole is worn down or the upper is torn or ripped, we recommend replacing the shoes to reduce the risk of injury.

Do adidas Ultraboost have arch support?

Yes, adidas Ultraboost shoes can support your arches. The adidas Boost midsole and the stabilizing Torsion System (between the heel and forefoot) help ensure a smooth, steady stride mile after mile. Be aware that individual foot shapes vary, so the Ultraboost may not provide ideal support for those with very high or low arches. It's best to check with a running specialist or podiatrist if you have concerns about arch support. Read more about adidas Boost technology on our blog.

What is an Ultraboost?
