PositiveHis 'strong and stable' main shoe. Despite past Achilles issues he had no injuries in the 10 mm drop. The upper hasn't sagged, the midsole is still springy at 800 miles, and the Continental outsole grips on gravel towpaths. Heel wear only. The knit upper runs warm.

PositiveLoves the Ultraboost Light as their go-to walking and work shoe, more stable than the Invincible Run 2, though they wouldn't really run in it.

PositiveUses the Ultraboost Light for much of their short daily running; with a history of ankle injuries they like its traditional stack, stability and ground feel over unstable high-stack shoes.

MixedOne tester logged about 50 km, mostly easy runs plus a single progression run. The ride is firm, snappy and stable, fine for easy and steady running, but the forefoot felt under-cushioned past roughly 13-15 km and it is not enjoyable at speed. One tester found the sock-like upper tight across the top of the foot, and another went up half a size.
