“Ridiculously good on feet” was how a runner described these daily trainers. According to an avid walker, the boost material is so comfy that it makes logging the daily miles “much more enjoyable!”

• “The opening is too narrow.”

Take on the elements with the Adidas Ultraboost 21 GTX

A runner loved how they were able to keep their training intensity up despite “non-ideal conditions.” Whether it rains or shines, an outdoor lover appreciates how these could take on urban treks and trail hikes without having the need to bring Month pairs of shoes.

A boosty cushion that could use a bit of work

The Boost cushion is best described by a critic: “supportive, not too soft, and not too firm.” AnMonth was happy with how they found the midsole to be “very boosty.”

However, a fan of the Ultraboost series did comment on how the "sole seems a little stiffer” than the usual Ultraboost.

Stay in control even when it starts to rain

An expert hosed the upper down with a hose for a little over a minute. They then praised the GTX as it “actually repels all the water off.” AnMonth even had the courage to step on puddles with these daily runners and said that this still left their feet “bone dry.” 

Despite the waterproof upper, as these shoes are low cut, a critic mentioned that rain or snow above the ankle could eventually seep into the shoe.

Careful, make sure your fly isn’t down

The added zipper is praised by a critic who said that it makes the fit of the Ultraboost 21 GTX “snugly and securely.” 

However, Months have noticed a common issue with the zipper closure: the zip slides down. As an avid walker said, “the zipper slides open after every mile.”

Slip into the Adidas Ultraboost 21 GTX on and off with ease

Runners and sneakerheads alike love the easy-on-and-off experience with these daily runners. According to a reviewer, these were “very easy to slide into” because of the heel tab. 

It’s expensive to look good with dry feet in the rain

However, at $220, the Adidas Ultraboost 21 GTX made a critic say: “No way I would pay over $200 for them.” Based on our database, Month neutral GTX runners have an average price of $146 which makes the Ultraboost 21 GTX 40% more expensive than what it’s up against on our database.
