Pureboost Xpose Running Shoe - Women's

You used to run in the lightest, softest, and overall comfiest shoes you could find, which worked out okay when you ran sporadically and raced only when you were coerced. But things have changed. You've got two half marathons and a smattering of local races spread out over your calendar this year, so save your ultralight kicks for your cross-training days and grab the Adidas Women's Pureboost Xpose Running Shoes when you need something that will support your feet for the long haul.

Built with Adidas' now ubiquitous Boost cushioning, the Xpose looks a lot like the rest of the brand's line. The big feature that sets it apart from its other lightweight, breathable, and highly cushioned siblings is an internal floating arch. Sitting inside the shoe, the arch adapts to the shape of your own arch to provide extra support with each step. In shoes with flexible uppers and soft midsoles, stability is often compromised, and this feature gives the Xpose a leg up over other Adidas options when you have high-mileage weeks to think about. On the outside of the shoe, a durable rubber tread and plush-but-responsive Boost midsole give the Xpose the ability to keep up with your busier-by-the-day race calendar.
