Any of you guys know if theres a difference in design for Black Pure Boosts (regular) mens vs women's? I can't find the black ones at retail size 9.

unfortunate to live in the radius of a nearby shop to try these on, I am online bound... torn between a pair of these or the Flux. at the moment I have to make a decision, which would I be satisfied with more for everyday use?

I am leaning toward the Boost technology which seems to have extreme comfort and appears to hold up well, but the Flux has caught my attention since its inception.

The white boost midsoles are a pain to clean, but if you're planning to beat them to the ground and don't care how they dirty they get then you can't beat the boosts in terms of comfort. There is some talk of the boost sole bottoming out after heavy heavy use however, may want to factor that in your decision as well.

Pure Boost, without a doubt.
 
Is there a consensus on what the best way is to clean the boost sole? The sides of mine towards the bottom are getting a little dirty.

Still looking for a great way to clean them.

Best way I have found thus far is in the washing machine...I put mine inside a pillow case inside the washing machine. Didn't make them look brand new but definitely helped some.
 
View media item 1204904Just got my pair and have been wearing them ever since. Very comfortable I would say quite different from many shoes I own. The big question to everyone have is how do these fit. And what I would say is really depends. Definitely fits big but I like my shoes to fit toe to heel have about one cm of toe room if not any. I'm a size 9 and 8.5 really do fit perfect in terms of having that 1cm toe room. To give u a comparison the size 8.5 prime knit pure boost fit like a size 9 in roshe. Hope this really helps

Here is my little Boost collection. Easily the most comfortable shoe.

I picked up two pairs of the black ones right away from Eastbay for $90 each. Now I have two new black pairs because I returned a pair of the black ones when the toe started to separate (and ended up returning the other pair since they were available at the employee store). Thank god for the employee store pricing.

Finally, my black Primeknit Pure Boost should be in Wednesday. I was lucky enough to grab the last 8.5 from St. Alfred.

Do the still make the grey pair that look like a fleece material and the white Adidas? I don't think I've ran across those on line yet.

Thanks
 
Question - how are you guys cleaning the soles of these? 

Tried JM, threw them in the wash with my fk trainers.. the soles have that circular texture so its nearly impossible and are impossible to keep white..

thoughts? best practices?  Ithink I'm gonna hit it with an Oxy Stick 
 
I use an old toothbrush with regular soap, doesn't really get it sparkling but it's good enough for me

Oh and I just got my primeknit boosts in and they fit perfect. I'm an 8.5 in regular boosts and got the 7.5 for the primeknits. Length is perfect but if you have a wide foot I won't recommend going down a full size. On feet pics to come..

I've mentioned it before, but try 91% isopropyl alcohol on a cloth (preferably a towel with a little abrasiveness) for the Midsoles. Should get them pretty clean.

They are women's.  I have seen them in store at Footlocker in the last two weeks.  They are awesome in person.

Welp, I guess that answers why I couldn't find them. By chance, do you mind tell me which FTL you saw them in? Repped, too, thanks.
 
My girlfriend bought those when we were on vacation in California in August. They're really nice shoes. The footlocker she got them from was in the Westfield (?) mall in SF. Mybe you could try to give them a call.
 
Found a great deal on Y3 boosts. I'm a true 11.5 in pretty much everything. Will I be cool grabbing a 12 in the Y3?

Y3 boosts fit big. Kinda like the primeknits. Heard that you should go down at least half.
 
Hey fellas, I'm having a really hard time deciding if I should go TTS or half size up.

I have tried on both sizes 8.5 and 9.

The 8.5 is like a glove really snug. In a sense i feel a little restricted when I walk because it is like almost a perfect fit and no wiggle room.

The 9 is a little big in that I can fit a whole finger behind between my heel and the back of the shoe. I feel a lot of wiggle room and my feet actually move around a little bit.

Do these stretch out over time? I don't want to make the mistake of buying TTS and it being very tight but I don't want it to be too big when walking around. What do you guys recommend? Any advice or input is greatly appreciated!! THANKS!
