Same material in writen article: runfaq.com/ultraboost_vs_ultr...
In this video, we compare $190 adidas Ultraboost Light to $80 adidas Ultrabounce to determine if the higher price is justified. We analyze various aspects such as design, comfort, lockdown, ventilation, shock absorption, responsiveness, transition, stability, grip, and durability. Ultimately, the Ultraboost shoes outperform Ultrabounce in most categories, including design, lockdown, ventilation, responsiveness, transition, stability, and durability. However, Ultrabounce has a slight advantage in step-in comfort. Considering the overall performance and price per point, the price difference between the two models is deemed fair. We conclude that new runners and even advanced runners would benefit from investing in premium models for the extra features and improvements they offer. The only exception would be budget constraints, in which case previous year models at discounted prices could be considered.

I have been a boost lover since I bought the first ultra boost before the hype but I made the switch over to the bounce and I love it! Only gripe is the toe box dead space.

The best running shoe channel is back! Love to see it. I hope you don't change up your formula too much, because you already have the most intelligent presentation that I could find on KZfaq. Also I'm going to miss the Russian voice if he's gone for too long.

@RUNFAQ 11 ай бұрын

And what about this voice? You think it is worse?

@Edsploration. 11 ай бұрын

I think both are excellent. The average viewer is probably more comfortable with the new voice, but I guess I like the Russian guy a bit more. Maybe it's a result of the writing, his way of speaking, just talking a bit more slowly, or not being perfectly fluent, but it forces my brain to be more alert and not miss anything. Your videos are dense with useful information, judgements, and reasoning, but a lot of details can be missed with passive listening. Since I'm getting into nitpick critique... Glancing back at an old video for a quick comparison I noticed this video's transitions have a blur effect, overshoot and springiness which makes them harder to read and take over twice as long. Of course this is not an interactive UI, just a video, so it's really minor, but I would want to at least remove most of the springiness. I think snappy transitions are better. 0:36 I love that you start with "based on the materials alone... the shoes are worth the extra money", but it's a bit hard for the viewer to agree with this statement based on a whole bunch of brand-specific technology jargon. This would be the perfect place say something like "we explained these technologies in this video..." and link to a brand technology section from one of your lineup videos. Oh, maybe you don't have one for Adidas yet? Maybe then "look forward for our Adidas lineup video where we will go over these technologies" haha, that would be exciting! Currency in the US is written like "$11.4" instead of "11,4 $" The writing in this video is excellent, but the conclusions have a few strange lines. Why did you add 2 extra points for weight at the end instead of listing that on the chart? You could have justified it with a line about why weight matters. By adding the points right at the end it sounds like you're forcing the math to match the narrative. Hopefully we all already understand diminishing returns and how premium products can still be worth it or not worth it regardless of the "$ per P" math. I think $ per P is more useful when you are comparing many options on a graph. And if the "$ per P" math isn't so useful here, then the 2nd conclusion you give isn't merely rhetorical, but instead the important one. There's so much back and forth contrasting and double negatives leading into the 2nd conclusion it's a bit hard to follow on first listen, but it is clear in the following lines what you mean, so perhaps this is a non-issue. As I said before these are minor nitpicks. I'm not asking anything to be changed, and you're doing a great job as-is. Cheers!

would an ultra bounce work for treadmill walks? I have a asics gel cumulus 23 and the bottom of my feet always hurt, especially at the ball of the foot

@franco05 10 ай бұрын

MY favourites are the ones that combine boost and bounce the correct way, just as Niike combines Zoomx and React. great shoes and give great comfort and stability, with great energy return.

This assumes that you have a standard width foot and let's be honest, the running shoe industry does not cater to the wide and extra wide foot runner or gym goer. In addition, Adidas Ultraboost are ridiculously narrow and do not come in a wide or extra wide width, whereas the Ultrabounce does. Sure there are companies that do have models which cater to wide and extra wide feet, but what they consider to be wide/extra wide sometimes is an absolute joke. So what do those runners or gym goers have?

@tsoy-tsoy9390 10 ай бұрын

I also have big and wide foot for my height that's why ultraboost is perfect not only for running.. I used it in my daily activity or in work when I need to dress down a little.. it's worth every penny ❤️

Why does Adidas use bounce foam in all their tennis shoes if its less confort, less reactive and less durable than ultra boost? Looking at the adidas barricade and ubersonic 4.1 vs the ultra boost light for tennis.

My rule of thumb is, stay away from anything cheaper than 120 USD, unless its on sale, then yes, but anything with regular price of less than 120USD, is usually old technology, or just average heavy boring with no energy return. maybe good for just basic walking to the store shoes. but if you want something fun, with bouncey cloud feel, and super comfortable, go as close to 200 USD as you can afford. But know what you are buying, price is just 1 consideration, also type of shoe, and its purpose. some are stability shoes, anti pronation etc... so do your homework first.

Yes, i used to buy shoes cheaper than usd100 and I just ran around the block near my house. After I decided to spend around usd200 on a pair, I have been running so well, i have been selected to compete in the Paris Olympics. Wow, it really made more difference than I expected. If you can, spend usd300. We shall meet at the podium at the Paris Olympics!!
