The dream scenario: The more energy you pour into your run, the more energy your running shoes flood back into your stride. These men's Sonic Boost runners make it happen because of their unique cellular midsole made up of tiny capsules, a design that allows for more energy to be absorbed and released at a more consistent rate. The result: more power, more comfort, mile after mile after mile. Featuring a breezy mesh upper with supportive welded overlays and an external heel counter for increased stability.

• Weight: 240 g (size UK 8.5)

• boost's energy-returning midsole keeps every step charged with an endless supply of light, fast energy

  any idea how these compare to the Asics range? Up there with Kayano, or more like an entry/mid level cushion.

    First off, I want to point out these are no-arch support versions.
    So instead of the Kayano, these would compete with Asics nimbus, although to be fair, if you want to compare the top offering of each brand, you should compare the Supernova Glide Boost ($190 aud rrp) to the asics nimbus.
    My thoughts on the boost material: Amazing. Unless you're very heavy. Blows asics cushioning (a little bit of gel) out of the water hands down. Don't take my word for it, get the asics bias out of your head, and try both of them side by side for yourself in a shoe shop.
    The Boost material is very nice on your feet, very springy.
    If you want to compare the Kayano, the Adidas equiv is the Adistar Boost. The issue I've had with the adistar boost is it's too damn narrow for a lot of customers.

    I don't sell a lot of sonic boosts, because in the store I work at, $20 more and you have the energy boost which is a lot more comfortable than the sonics. Not to say the sonics are bad in any way, they feel more firm than a full-boost midsole.
    Not going to defend the sonics either, but just saying, if you want to compare with Kayanos, it's only fair to compare the top of another brand, in the same class.
    I'd say for reasonable customers, I've been able to convert 100% of asics-users to love shoes with a boost midsole in them. That is, once they have a run in them. The Boost material is defs not a low/entry level thing. The Sonic Boost, for now is their lowest offering with boost cushioning in it.

    Disclaimer: I sell shoes at Rebel Sport.

        Tried some of the adidas boosts on and found them very narrow for my slightly wider feet. Any suggestions for alternative s?

        Yep, that's what I found as well..
        If you don't pronate (wide feet people usually do pronate though), try the adizero adios boost ($200 retail), they're VERY wide.

        Alternatives.. see if the Asics Kayano 20 2Es (athletes foot has them from memory, or go to an asics store) fit you, find a place that will mail-forward.
        Also try Mizuno Inspire 10, Mizuno Paradox.

      I bought two pairs of AdiStar Boost last time around, one for me and one for my partner - Took cwong's advice :P
      I've returned both pairs twice back to Startfitness, because both times, the seams at the big toe and the pinky were coming apart. Maybe this is due us having wider feet than suitable for the shoe, maybe poor design.

      Anyway, I've returned them in exchange for Adios Boost, which is supposed to be a lighter shoe.
      Now the Sonic is down to ~$100/pair, would Sonic be a good complement to the Adios, or should I wait for Adidas 40% off and get a pair of Energy Boost?

      Also, @Rep, does the multibuy for the Sonics not apply to overseas shipping? It says 2 pairs for 110GBP, which should be 88 exc VAT, 80GBP with the Boost10 code, and then up to 96 GBP with shipping, bringing the total for 2 shoes to approx $175AUD for 2 pairs.

  these are brilliant runners - I have a pair and love 'em to bits (and have just bought another here rather than over $200 in the local shops)

    I have no clue where you're pulling the $200 figure from. Their RRP is $160.
    Energy boost is $180
    Glide boost is $190
    Adizero adios boost is $200
    Adistar boost is $220

    This is the entry level boost product by Adidas.
