I bought a pair of Ultraboost DNA about a year ago and I like the shoes. They fit well and are very comfortable to walk in.

But a few weeks ago, one of the plastic tongues that the laces go through broke. I see on google that it is not an uncommon thing with these sneakers.

Lasting less than a year is unacceptable on a pair of sneakers that cost this price.

I then read that they boasted about the plastic being made from recycled materials and they were saying that as if it was a positive thing.

Screw whatever recycled materials they are using, because I would prefer that they used plastic that was stronger and doesn't break before 1 year of usage.

Are they trying to save the environment? Because the only thing they have achieved is that I'm going to throw out my sneakers a lot earlier than planned and I'll end up getting a new pair of something.

I don't know how the new models are and if they changed anything since then, but I hope so.

Does woot offer free returns for prime members or we need to pay for the label?

It's confusing from their website: "If the item is not damaged or defective, the cost of return shipping is deducted from the refund"

The customer pays cost of return shipping. That said, I bought a $20 denim jacket recently, started a return & Woot told me to just keep it. Doubtful if they would do the same with these sneakers.

I stocked up on Ultraboosts a while back and regret getting the DNA line. These are incredibly tight around the ankle. I was told that they would eventually stretch out but after a month of wearing them and stretching them out with a large can, these were still incredibly tight. Google "Ultraboost DNA tight ankle" and you'll find plenty of people with the same issue.
Things I've tried:
Stretching them out
Removing the sole (helped a tiny bit)
Cutting the stiching (Didn't help but at this point, it's not worth the discount)

I shove a 30 ounce yeti, bottom first, into each shoe, down as far as I can get it and keep it at least overnight. This has always stretched the ankle and toe box sufficiently for my foot, which is generally a wide in New Balance but Adidas nor Nike sell wide width in nice colorways.

TLBig GrinR size up.
Ijust half size up. Pretty much on all my Ultras I go half size up. I own Ultra Boosts from every model. And by sizing up my feet don't flop around. Never had an issue with a shoe being too tight around the ankle, but I understand.
I buy a lot of shoes and I buy according to fit. I start at my true size and work from there. I'm an 11.5, but different brands run large or small. Chuck Taylor's I can size down. Air Force 1s I size down, most air Jordans are true to size for me, Yeezys run small, other adidas like superstars and forums are true to size for me.
I would t do all of that to make a shoe fit.

Of course the only decent looking one in grey is out of the adult sizes. I can't pull off the hippie tie dye 3 stripe look, I'm out duuuuuuude!

Adidas Ultraboost used to be my go to. Then they introduced the newer models 5 and 5x with the Light Boost. The width got narrower and the toebox height got lower, it feels like a python was squeezing my foot. Even the the supposedly "Original" Ultra boost 1.0 now runs smaller and narrow. It was no longer a comfortable shoe and became more like a shoe made solely for racing.

ultraboost DNA is not as comfortable as ultraboost 1.0. IMHO
