Adidas market the latest Ultra Boost Uncaged series of footwear as ‘energy-returning shoes for high performance runners’.
And after trying them out, you know why.
The Ultra Boost range already has excellent cushioning that combines comfort and support. The Uncaged range takes the concept further.
Extremely responsive and providing great support and flexibility, these running shoes have a full-length ‘boost’ midsole that combines with the special Stretchweb outsole to help you run farther while reducing fatigue.
A standout feature is the sock-like fit of the ‘Primeknit’ upper that supports the foot’s natural flex from heel to toe.
Couple that with a robust Continental rubber outsole and you get a shoe that is designed to withstand any condition while providing the runner maximum comfort.
The shoe is extremely light on the feet but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on performance.
Adidas has partnered with Continental tyres.
What we found was that sturdy outsole cushioned our heel from heavy impact and that made it possible to extend our run further than expected.
When it comes to looks, Uncaged fares decently. While the textured grey goes well with the overall package, we were a bit disappointed with the white sole which didn’t scream ‘performance’.
But once wewore it, it all came together perfectly.
The sock bootie was another plus as it unified the shoe from the ankle down withoutimpeding functionality.
As a whole, we are thoroughly impressed by the comfort and support the Ultra Boost Uncaged range provides and it will definitely bring smiles to the face of those looking to push their boundaries.
We rate it: 8 out of 10: Performance and comfort are top class and the look edgy.
