Key Features
• Enhanced foam sole with Boost™ energy-returning properties• A Breathable techfit™ mesh upper with built-in synthetic overlays• Adidas miCoach compatibility• A snug fit that minimalizes irritation and blisters• A carbon rubber outsole with excellent grip
Upper
The Adidas Revenergy Boosts’ upper is designed with Techfit™ material, a breathable mesh upper designed to provide cooler and drier feet while running. This seamless upper is extremely comfortable and it minimalizes the risks of irritation and blisters while running. The upper of the Revenergy Boost also features well-placed overlays to provide reinforced structural support. One of the most impressive qualities of the upper is the way that it molds to the natural contours of your feet, giving the runner a snug and comfortable shoe. However, some reviewers were dissatisfied with the non-water-resistant quality of the uppers. Although the Adidas Revenergy Boost dries within a day, if the shoe gets wet while running, it will not keep your foot completely dry. This is a con for the Adidas Revenergy Boost. Also, due to the snug fit, many reviewers suggest ordering a half size up, some runners with a wider foot may have trouble with the fit of the narrow sock-like fit of the Adidas Revenergy Boost.
Midsole
The midsole is the Adidas Revenergy Boost’s most impressive aspect. The midsole on this shoe has a built-in Torsion® system, it prevents twisting and warping upon impact while running and it enhances the integrity of the structure. If that was not impressive enough, Adidas has spent time developing a specialized Boost™ foam. This specialized foam is comprised of tiny polyurethane capsules that have been fused together by the use of stream and high pressure. This foam is designed to provide maximum energy return while running. Although it is hard to gauge if energy is being returned, the shoe is notably “bouncy” and is light and comfortable to run in. The foam is also designed to perform well under extreme temperatures (as some foams are said to change in structure under extreme heat and cold). This foam provides responsive cushioning, comfort with the ability to maintain the feel of the ground while running. The Boost™ foam holds up well to the claims of Adidas, the shoe springs you forward with each step as you run, generating a fast feeling shoe. The Revenergy Boost also features an EVA midfoot bridge and rim to add support during runs. The Adidas Revenergy Boost offers runners an impressive midsole.
Outsole
The outsole of the Adidas Revenergy Boost is comprised of a thin layer of carbon rubber. Upon first glance, this rubber may appear to not be durable or effective. However, many reviewers were pleasantly surprised to realize that this assumption is false. The Adidas Revenergy Boost is incredibly durable. The carbon rubber base provides excellent traction and is suitable for all types of running terrains. However, the Adidas Revenergy is not specifically designed for trail running, so it may not hold up to the wear and tear of the intensive trail running as it does to pavement and dirt.
Breathability
The Adidas Revenergy Boost is notably breathable. The upper mesh material provides an ideal amount of ventilation, keeping your feet nice and cool while running. Interior air circulation is a pro with this shoe. Reviewers have found this shoe to be comfortable both in heat and cold. The breathability of the Adidas Revenergy Boost is ideal for all climates.
Comfort
The Adidas Revenergy Boost is extremely comfortable. The specially designed Boost™ foam provides a bouncy comfortable feel, while maintaining responsiveness to the road. Not all running shoes blend comfort and ground responsiveness. Often, traditional running shoes that provide optimal comfort inhibit the feel of the ground, the Adidas Revenergy does not. The snugness of the upper provides comfort and minimizes any foot irritations that could occur while running. These qualities combined with the added Torsion® support system make the Adidas Revenergy Boost one extremely comfortable shoe.
Style
The Adidas Revengery Boost does an excellent job of combining comfort and style. The sleek seamless upper offers multiple stylish colors to choose from. The men’s Adidas Revenergy Boost’s color options include, white/black/blue, black/orange, neon green/grey, and grey/navy blue. The women’s version of the Adidas Revenergy Boost also does not disappoint when it comes to style. The color options include, white/hot pink/black, black/hot pink, grey/white/ hot pink, and neon green/grey. The wide array of color options ensures that every runner will find the Adidas Revenergy Boost an attractive versatile running shoe.
Durability
Upon first glance, the Adidas Revenergy Boost may not seem like a durable running shoe. The Boost™ foam and thin carbon rubber outsole are deceiving in appearance. Many reviewers were pleasantly surprised with the Adidas Revenergy Boosts’ high durability. The Revenergy Boost holds up well to various running terrains, providing runners with a long-lasting investment in both a comfortable and versatile running shoe.
Protection
The Adidas Revenergy Boost gives adequate protection for a versatile energy-enhanced run. The specially designed Boost™ foam provides comfort and protection while running, but it still maintains responsiveness to the ground. The built-in Torsion® system provides protection and arch support. The Adidas Revenergy Boost does not provide enhanced toe protection, but due to the structure of the shoe, reviewers have not noticed any cons in regard to toe protection.
Responsiveness
While most running shoes sacrifice responsiveness for comfort, the Adidas Revenergy Boost does an excellent job of providing both. The specially designed Boost™ foam provides energy retaining comfort while maintaining a responsive integrity to the ground. This shoe is notably comfortable and many reviewers were surprised at how responsive the Adidas Revenergy Boost is while running.
Support
The Adidas Revenergy Boost has an impressive midsole that utilizes the Torsion® system, an impressive feature that optimizes support and prevents the shoe from twisting and warping during runs.
