Question I have for y'all, according to poll since most wear Boost daily, have you become 'numb' to the feeling of how comfortable boost are?

I have been wearing boost daily for about a year and a half straight and I almost have forgotten the feeling in comparison to how much more comfortable boosts are to any shoe.

I still remember how 'bouncy' and undeniably soft the boost was when I first tried them on.

Aw I missed it again. Was there a 10, or 9.5?

Navys? I think there was a 9,9.5, 10 or 10.5 and 13 (plus some smaller)- i saw 4-5 sizes though. There was also core blacks and white 1.0s, neons, and I didnt see any OG's/wools, or metallics

 

[tankdayglo]

Do we have any more info on these?

 

[skala]

Ultras at least once a day everyday  & anything else is MADNESS..

slept hard on the wool greys thinking i would come around back to them, when they were out with navys around time when chalks first restocked in store

need to find a pair , my 3ms need a break & my 0gs were the vacation commuters

Trade Og purps size 9.5 for a pair of bred 1s?? The 9.5 is a little tight. Figured I could sell the Breds to find a pair of og purps but they are none in the market.

Although I wear boost daily (walking around a dental clinic from 8 to 5), I run in a pair of New Balances and workout in a pair of Nike Metcons. Every single time I go from ultra boost to non-boost or non-boost to ultra boost, I notice a huge difference in comfort. I've only been in boosts for about two months though

 

[skala]

do the WGs have cont. sole?

didn't think finding an 11.5 would be this hard lol

 

[infamousbape]

When I checked FL this morning there were 3 pairs of grays and 1 pair of OGs (7.5)... They were all adding to cart but showing up sold out when I got to checkout

Im in the process of negotiating with someone right now.

My Bred 1s for their 9.5 OGs + 80

I don't mind keeping it though haha.

i can relate. been wearing UBs and 350s for the past year and you get used to the feeling. recently wore my Concepts Luxury Goods 997 for about 6 hours and switched to my UBs for a late night stroll. I was instantly reminded of the comfort and support. the 997s felt like bricks compared to UBs

I tried on some Jordan 11 lows last week and those even felt like heavy bricks. UBs have spoiled me. But since I have been wearing pretty much daily, it's difficult at times to fully appreciate the comfort of boosts.

I have to wear other shoes most of the week so whenever I put on some boosts I feel like I put my feet on vacation.  However I feel like Boosts are great if you are walking around or even sitting, if you are going to be standing in one place all day their comfort is a little negated.

I mean, they're def more suited for being in motion, but standing in one place for a long time w/ UBs is a lot more comfy than doing it in Vans or Jordans.

 

[drisk34]

im just gunna keep my unpopular opinion to myself

 

[jpac]

I mean it is difficult to compare apples to oranges when UB is a running shoe and Jordans are basketball/lifestyle shoes so 9 times outta 10 a runner will be more comfortable than Jordans.

But from a overall comfort in combo with lifestyle shoe, UB's silhouette is pleasing enough to trump Jordans in any social, non-formal occasion.

I have once shot around in UBs and would prefer Jordans over UBs in that scenario so UB doesn't trump Jordans in certain aspects.

I believe the only way Jordans, especially the Retros to stay relevant, they gotta continue to make high quality products rather than skimp on details. Especially for their over inflated MSRPs.

 

[drisk34]

i think i just like sneakers too much to limit myself to wearing the same silhouette everyday/evey other day. UBs way more than others, but I havnt cut anything out of my rotation.

 

[rocketsfan]

copped two navy 1.0s (11.5) on the FTL "restock" - one got cancelled and one is still pending #coolstorybro

 

[andrewmarval]

I used a matt black spray on acrylic , Im gonna try the leather dye again and maybe give them more time to dry before the finisher.

For those how have the blackout ultraboost do these have any issues with the white boost showing through on scuffs etc?

so on my pair i would put one coat of dye at night, then the next morning, then that night, etc to really space out the coats. and same with the paint. also i used the deglazer to take off the factory finish before putting any dye/paint on them. i didn't use any finish on them and they came out looking good. it does crack by the heel but nothing noticeable when you are standing looking down. i would have to touch up every month. i think that is the norm because the boost does not absorb well.

I def don't wear UB everyday, but I wear boost pretty much every day. Pretty rare that I don't wear some kind of boost shoe at least once during the day.

 

[therefill]

60% of the time, I wear it every time.

yeah, i've just got a whole lot of NBs/Asics and of course the swoosh that I like. Like I said, I love all sneakers

No doubt just pointing out that standing in them is not there strong suit.  The KD9's are actually better to stand in than UB's 

 

[jpac]

lol is this convo gonna evolve to what is the best shoe to 'stand' in?

Where are y'all standing to compare different shoes? You guys work at the movie theaters checking tickets?
