In short

Responsive, durable daily trainer that can pick up the pace; the midfoot fit is narrow and snug.

Runners mostly see the adidas Ultraboost Light as a stable casual, walking and travel shoe rather than a running shoe.

Light, responsive daily and tempo shoe; the narrow fit sends many to the wide version.
