Ideal for intervals, tempo runs and race day, the lightweight adidas Adizero Adios 7 men's road-running shoes offer a responsive and snappy ride.
Had been on sale on Adidas for $65.

The 10 was a big resign. Personally I love them and rock them daily. I wouldn't necessarily say these are fast paced shows like OP mentioned, the old Boston's definitely were. But these are a rock solid daily trainer. Definitely not ultra cushioned but definitely comfortable.
I just skimmed through reviews on the Boston 11 and came across a common complaint about the tongue. The tongue apparently has some sharp or rough edges that dig into and irritate the skin. Several people said the tongue is connected to the sole of the shoe to form a sock-bootie liner fit that is tight and unadjustable. What's your view on this aspect of the shoe?

Yeah the 10 imo, had an incredible upper. Best padding on the heel/ankle I've ever had. But the tongue on the 11 sucks. Hands down. Have to wear long socks, not even an option for no show. That being said, I prefer a upper with the sock fit
Darn. The heel to toe drop is also higher than I prefer. This is a pass for me.
I can confirm this. After some time the tongue is very uncomfortable and painful
Ultraboosts are a lifestyle shoe and not a serious running shoe. Depending on your size the Ultras will be 4 or more ounces heavier. As Run Repeat says, they "may be one of the heaviest road shoes currently available." I like the Ultraboosts for walking but my attempts to run in them felt more like a jog.
I can't speak about the adizero or Boston, but I read similar complaints about the ultra boosts, but also some people loved them. I think they fall into a more love it or hate it category. Personally I was a bit conflicted before I started running in them, but afterwards they have now become one of my favorite daily trainers for long/easy/ recovery runs. They are durable and comfortable. A few YouTube runners off the top of my head liked them like Seth James demoor and kofuzi, but your right others complained about the weight.
