I am not a sneaker fan nor do I care much about brands. What I care about is something that’s simple, functional and would look good on me. I saw a friend who posted a photo of the Adidas Stella McCartney Pure Boost X and it was love at first sight.

I opened up to my boy about this and he helped me fine one online. He knows where to find great bargains off eBay and other sites but most are either sold out, or costs $350.

Luckily, we found a pair that’s my size, right here in the Philippines! I think 3 branches in Manila sell these Stella McCartney Pure Boost X adidas shoes – Powerplant, Greenbelt 3 and UP Town Center. I got mine with the right size at UP Town Center! LUCKY!!!

BOOST

The marshmallow bottom soles are composed of thousands of BOOST beads that respond instantly to give you energy.

Â

FLOATING ARCH There are lots of boost models now but what I like about this specific style is its floating arch. It fits and hugs your feed and supports your every step. No matter what form, shape or size your feet are.

STRETCHWEB OUTSOLE

The outsole flexes and adapts to every stride you make. It’s really designed for running and I am quite particular about running shoes because I get injured when I wear the wrong ones. So far, so good with this pair!

It is rated 4.7 stars out of 5 in the official adidas website and 92% of users recommend it. I highly recommend this as well! There are other color variants but the nude style is the one I fancy. Nude shoes make me look taller. It always looks like my legs are extended to the ground and not broken by any line. When you are not gifted in height, trust me it helps!  Â

These Pure Boost X adidas by Stella McCartney gives me a great fit and reviews have been saying it fits all foot types! I bought 1 size larger though because I always use socks and 1 size larger feels more comfortable for me. I also love the free-floating arch support under the midfoot that gives my feet support and a smooth feel.

The primeknit material also designed to naturally expand with your foot while you run. It hugs well but is also comfortable and light.

 I’m not sure if we even need the strap… It looks cooler with the strap though. I also like the unique strap lacing system, synthetic sidewall panels for stability, sock construction and reflective heel cap! I didn’t notice the reflective heel cap until I was actually wearing them. It also has welded overlays for support and adaptive dynamic fit for optimal flexibility. I love how lightweight the shoes are, contributed to the STRETCHWEB rubber outsole that is light and elastic. This easily adapts to the ground for stability and works well with the unique properties of boost from touchdown to push-off. Â
