MixedAt 195 lb and 60 miles a week, they use the Hyperboost Edge for easy and long runs (toe box half a size longer than the Evo SL); after cutting the ankle collars and adding a lace hole they enjoy it a lot, now at 250 miles.

MixedAbout 80 km in, mostly long runs. The midsole has a good level of firmness with a stable ride, decent energy return and strong grip, and they expect 500-plus miles of durability. The upper is the weak point: little breathability or give, and a stiff heel cup that digs in when walking, plus a late rocker that felt blocky at faster paces. A long-run cruiser at easy to marathon pace, but the upper was not for them.

MixedB overall: a bouncy, resilient, highly durable super trainer for long and tempo runs. The massive posterior flare and missing heel bevel make his shins ache on every run. Another tester loves the forefoot, but the rigid heel collar dug into his ankle. Better for forefoot strikers.

MixedThe springy Hyperboost Pro foam is fun for easy and tempo runs, and the full outsole grips and looks durable. But the uncomfortable upper 'might be a deal-breaker for many'. Not a must-buy; he prefers the Megablast and Superblast 3.
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.
