{{DISPLAYTITLE:Adidas Energy Boost 2 Review}}
The [http://www.zappos.com/adidas-energy-boost Adidas Energy Boost] 2 has a new material in the midsole (see 'Adidas Boost Foam' below) which changes how this shoe feels. The Energy Boost is immediately comfortable and the foam makes a noticeable difference to the ride. Sadly the Boost is a traditional design, with the typical raised heel and I would not normally recommend considering it. However, because the boost foam works so well, and because removing the insole reduces the drop to 7mm, I think it's worth considering. The insole is about 3mm in the forefoot and 5mm at the heel. Without that extra, the shoe is 14mm/21mm. Note that the Boost and the Boost 2 are virtually identical. I could not find any differences other than the "2" on the label.{{H:WhatToLookForInShoes}}

The Energy Boost is immediately comfortable, with a light, flexible upper with no noticeable seams. I'm thankfully Adidas has used a traditional tongue and laces, rather than a sock style upper or Velcro fastening. And while the sole has the traditional raised heel, there is none of the multi-density foam or other intrusions that are so common. I think a lot of people will buy the boost because of its immediate comfort, but stay with it for its extraordinary characteristics.
