It's not comfortable for walking. It's impossible to run in it. Just sitting in the house with this shoe on your feet will make your feet warm and sweaty within 15 minutes.
Whoever designed this shoe should be marched up to the highest floor of the Adidas headquarters and thrown out the window.

Moreover, this has been one of the most comfortable for walking – though not for any engineering choices of the shoe, but entirely for fit – as this is nigh the only shoe I've ever had that doesn't in any way cut into the medial-mid/underside of my slightly-wide-but-mostly-flat foot; I've literally tried hundreds of shoes over the past couple years, and I can count on one hand the number of shoes that might be able to claim the same.
It's not as soft/compliant a foam as I'd like, but it's very stable (especially for as tall of a shoe as it is – 45mm in the heel, 39 in the forefoot – at least in the sample size) – and quite resilient/responsive when actually engaging it on the run (which is, y'know, what it's designed for); my chief concern was with the heel bevel (or lack thereof) being too sharp/aggressive on the roll-through, but with the way I heel-strike closer to midfoot than rear, it's worked out perfectly for me.
The only thing I'd like out of this now is a warmer/waterproof upper (they do make a Hyperboost GTX, but it's based on the Hyperboost Run instead of the Edge – which is a lower stack of what they claim is the same foam, but by most accounts it runs even firmer and less responsive; plus it just came out within the last month or so and hasn't gone on sale, so I haven't given it a shot yet); whilst this upper works great for about 2/3rds of the year in the PNW, the colder/wetter months could prove challenging… we'll see.
