Alot of people are getting their pairs of EQT 93/17 in so know alot of this already but I thought I'd contribute with a bit of a review of my own after my first wear.
SIZING RECOMMENDATION
For those with wide feet, I strongly recommend you use your ultraboost sizing (which I assume is .5 up from TTS) as your starting point.

Boost

Now, I know the general consensus for a great many people who have this shoe already is that  93/17 boost > Ultraboost / NMD. After my wear, I'm inclined to say that this might be slightly exaggerated.

This could very well be more of a perception thing for me. When I first tried on a pair of ultraboost, the feeling was quite literally earth shattering to me. I had never felt anything quite so supple and squishy under my feet. Now, with all of the comfort hype floating around, I was expecting a similar reaction, if not greater. After giving the 93/17 a try, colour me slightly disappointed. This isn't to say that the 93/17 isn't comfortable or near the top of the comfort rank - it very much is. I just don't think it's quite usurped Ultraboost like some have been claiming.

I will go ahead an echo the sentiment that these shoes are indeed great for walking and standing. Unlike UBs, I don't get the same deadfoot feeling from the 93/17 when I spend more than 30 minutes standing in one spot. So this is one area that the 93/17 prevails.

Great in-depth review. Pretty much the same as what everyone has reported on here but with more personal testimony.

the reason why I am so impressed with the EQTs is that you can still feel the sensation of the cushy-ness of them vs. the UBs.

At one point with UBs since I pretty much wore them 99% of the time in 2016, I was so spoiled by the comfort I didn't really know how to appreciate how comfy they really are.

But putting on the EQTs give you a slight variance and noticeable softness beyond the UB. Those are my takeaways.

Thanks man!

Something that I can really appreciate with the EQT is that it's not just a hackjob of slapping boost onto an existing silo. It does feel like Adidas put some considerable effort to make the boost applied unique to EQT so that the feel is different. I love the fact that the UB, NMD, Yeezy line and now EQT all have different and unique boost feels and it doesn't feel like you're wearing the same shoe in different wrapping.

Very true. All silhouettes have their pros/cons and I feel at the end of the day UB still is King. Although EQT will now be an honorable mention when Boost products are talked about.

Looking forward to seeing what they will do with the EQT silhouette. Hopefully they make something dope after the white version. And please...no more gray.

Don't do it, the night cargo's are releasing soon and are pretty comparable. I actually think they are superior to TC in terms of looks.
