I never tried on the Ultra Boost. Can someone tell me as far as the comfort of these? I tried on the DROSE 6 the other day and I thought those were comfortable. DO the Ultra boost feel that much better? I have some pretty bad knees and I'm curious will the Ultra Boost put stress on my knees? I currently run in the Air Max 2013's. While they are comfortable, they put a lot of stress on my knees. Thanks in advance.

The Ultra Boost is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn, hands down.

Just got my 9.5 grey/orange Kolors from VooBerlin. The only 9.5 of that shoe I could find anywhere. Looks like they sent me their display pair though. The left shoe is pristine, but the right shoe has been laced differently and has some dirt on the tips of the nubs of the outsoles. No signs of wear otherwise and outsoles aren't actually worn down, just seems like they were probably tried on a few times on a dirty floor. Not a big enough deal to send them back, but I'm definitely going to complain, maybe I can get a retroactive discount or store credit. Wish they would've just taken some soap and water to the outsole cause I'd be none the wiser.

So VooBerlin hit me back with a 10% refund. Pretty decent of them considering this size is impossible to find.

On a related note, it looks like adidas has restocked some sizes of the Kolors, more so the green/white but there are smaller sizes of the grey/orange up there. The price point on them at the y-3 store is kinda wack though...

I use them casually and they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I've had a torn ACL and meniscus and the surgery to repair them. I have no stress from the shoes. Only downside is there is a little bounce back, I could see that bothering the wrong knee while running.

If anyone's in Toronto, Sport Chek Square One has the core black UB for $157 CAD + tax

That's $118 for American folk lol

so my sweatshop order of the og ub's came in today. now i have a women's 9 and men's 8.5. everyone's been saying the women and men's versions are the same shoe outside of the sizing, but i actually did notice a fairly significant difference. the men's shoe has a bit more foam cushioning at the ankle. it's a little thicker, and runs a tiny bit longer than the women's pair. i also got really curious/bored and decided to find out the difference in weights. the men's shoe weighs more by just under an ounce, or a few grams. it's not a huge deal to me, but that extra bit of foam does feel more luxurious.  anyways, here are some ****** phone pics trying to show the differences.

womens left / mens right

food scale comparison lol

Probably because a mens 8.5 = womens 9.5 in adidas sizing http://www.adidas.com/us/help-section-size_charts.html

 

[nosajthing]

they're a half size different, yes, but i don't think that would change the amount of cushioning in the ankle. 

 

[MRBW]

No two pairs are the same as far as the ankle bit is concerned.  I have inconsistencies in all mine.

the pair in the img is the one u get?

Yeah the cushioning tends to vary, not just a mens v womens size issue. I think it probably has more to do with when the shoes were made, your two pairs are likely from two different production runs.

The size difference would account for the weight difference though.

word. my women's white ub's have the same cushioning as my women's og so i assumed that's where the difference lies. guess it's just luck of the draw.
