Ultraboost 5X comes across as a lightweight, cushioned running and walking shoe with enough bounce for easy miles and faster runs, while also working well as an everyday casual pair. The attached tongue and slip on feel are part of the design, and the shoes reportedly look better in person than in stock photos. Fit is the main watchout, since sizing can run narrow or vary, with some needing a half size up or a larger toe box. Wide feet may work with sizing up, but not every fit issue disappears.

Common Questions (4)

  • It can work for wide feet if you size up, but the fit is still narrow enough that some wide-footed wearers find it painful. The stretchy upper helps, yet a large toe box seems important for comfort.

  • Many wearers need a half-size up for the best fit and comfort, and some Ultraboost sizing can be inconsistent enough that the same size may feel too small or too big. If you are between sizes or have wider feet, sizing up is the safer choice.

  • Yes. They're described as a comfortable casual, walking, and running shoe with enough bounce for easy or faster paces, and the cushioning is praised for making jogging feel effortless.

  • Yes. The tongue is attached by design, which creates a slip-on feel and is a defining Ultraboost feature, but it can bother people who prefer a traditional loose tongue.

I ordered these recently and couldn't stand the "rubber" tongue that is attached to the shoe, never seen a tongue that was a part of the shoe, usually the tongue is loose not this one
Ultra boost has always had attached tongue. That's the thing why it became popular no need for laces if you choose and slipping it on

I just got mine, and I'm bummed that I have to send them back. I've always had to order a half size up with Ultraboosts in the past or take the insoles out. But everything I had read about the 5X said that this one is different and actually fits true to size.

Nope. Not for me. It was the exact same situation as all my previous Ultraboosts. I should have sized up.

It's so annoying that buying shoes is like this. I just bought two new pairs of shoes, both the same size, and now I have to return both. One I am returning because they are too small. I am returning the other because they are too big. So when it finally gets sorted out, I'll wear an 8.5 of one shoe and a 9.5 of the other.

Same frustration here. People say buy 2 and return the one that doesn't fit, but this is such a wasteful thinking. And I gotta tell you - Adidas has the most variable shoe sizes I've ever experienced.

Why are there two size drop down selectors? If select US show size 8.5, the other one (not specified) goes to "8-" (8 minus?).

I have wide feet and love the cushion, this is a little higher-end then what I usually get. I can jog with minimal effort with these.

Ive bought a TON of the cheaper adidas shoes from Ebay (20-25 bucks.) How do these compare for walking on the treadmill (incline) or jogging on flat land outside? Not a shoe guy (and just got into the gym/running) so forgive me if this is an ignorant question.

Just comparing these to triple black UB 22. The 5x seems lighter but cheaper feeling. I haven't used both yet to compare performance

So what does it mean if I have chosen 8.5 and 8- ? First time ever seeing such a dual size selector.

I'm so tempted to buy a 5th pair. I have 4 already. Didn't realize I needed half size bigger to be comfortable. I feel so bad to toss my first pairs I bought half a size too small but theses shoes are so comfortable walking in them.
