PositiveAbout 100 miles across long runs, steady runs, daily miles and recovery jogs. They like it best as a speedy long-run shoe from easy pace up to marathon effort, where the foam feels energetic yet cushioned. It started out a bit firm for easy days but softened with use, and they would not pick it for speed work because of its height and weight. Roomy toe box, no heel chafing, and the upper and outsole wore well.

PositiveOwns four pairs of the Hyperboost Edge and plans to keep buying it. Calls it the best all-round shoe, good for pushing the pace, comfort and distance alike.

PositiveA month in the Hyperboost Edge: like a Megablast with a much more comfortable, secure upper; they'd take it over the Megablast for long runs.
Runners split on the adidas Hyperboost Edge. Many like its bouncy, cushioned midsole and a comfortable ride for easy and long runs. The upper draws the most complaints, with several finding it hot, poorly breathable or tight, and a few report poor lockdown or the shoe going dead early.
Of the 35 reviews with a clear verdict, 51% are positive, 29% mixed and 20% negative. The praise mentioned most is great for long runs. The most common complaint is blisters.
The complaints reviewers mention most: blisters (3 reviews), heavy (1 review) and heel slip (1 review). For example: Of all their adidas shoes, the Hyperboost Edge is the only one that gives them major blisters on the big toes, and it is not usable for running for them. They find the toe box very different from other adidas models.
