What they say:
The Adidas adipower boost 2 helps your game with a modern design and sleek look while remaining comfortable for your feet no matter how long your game lasts.
Technology:
*Soft microfiber leather upper with climaproof protection - Keeps foot dry and prevents it from becoming too hot or cold
*Boost midsole foam in heel – Boost foam is comprised of thousands of TPU energy capsules fused together that deliver energy return and responsiveness. In a sense, it has a more trampoline effect than traditional EVA midsole foam.
*Bounce foam in forefoot – Delivers more power at impact
*Energy Sling - Guides energy transfer and prevents power leaks
*Puremotion TPU outsole with Gripmore tread – Comprised of numerous lugs/nubs of varying sizes along non-replaceable spikes. Rubber traction at heel and toe.
*External heel counter – Wider heel outsole for increased stability
*Fitfoam PU sockliner – Increases overall cushion and comfort
*Wider forefoot

What we say:
The Adidas adipower boost 2 utilizes much of the same technology from the original boost, with a few upgrades. It is indeed a very comfortable shoe, and offers plenty of support. For those with extra cash on hand, this shoe is worth considering, especially if you find yourself walking the course often. If you're on a tighter budget, there are certainly cheaper shoes out there that perform similarly. Nonetheless, it is a great overall shoe, and boasts much of Adidas' most innovative technologies.
