18. Adidas Energy Boost
After my Reebox DMX shoes tore apart, I was in need of a new running shoe. I was looking for another DMX shoe, but they were hard to find. So, I started to do some research, and foam was trendy. In particular, Boost, Lunarlon, and Micro G. I decided to try them out. To my surprise, I really liked Boost. They were a bit tight, but Adidas often stretch on me. Plus, I wanted to give the form fit a try. Unfortunately, they stayed a bit tight, but they are still comfortable. I walked around Osaka in them. Looking back, I probably should have gotten a size bigger.
Some criticism of the shoe: The Boost is exposed, and it gets dirty really easily. The plastic lacing system isn't that great. However, the newer version of the shoes doesn't use plastic, so those might be more comfortable.
The shoe is still on my shoe rack. It is part of my bike shoe rotation.
