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.

PositiveThey are a recent user who loves the Hyperboost Edge and uses it for long runs and recovery days within an all-adidas rotation. Their one complaint is the breathability of the upper.

PositiveFeels like a premium EVO SL and is their current favourite, though the upper doesn't suit everyone so try it on first.

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.

PositiveOne tester would put it on a pedestal for its foam, the most dynamic of its super-trainer peers (Superblast 3, Cloudmonster 3 Hyper), and it's cheaper. The Superblast 3 wins on weight and on an upper that suits nearly everyone.

PositiveA surprisingly sturdy, light and reliable workhorse that carried him through a rocky Boston build. After 70 miles it still feels like new out of the box and barely looks worn.
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.
