The Soulstride Ultra is the padded, patient end of adidas' trail line. BOOST Light and Lightstrike under a rocker geometry give you a 38 mm heel, a 6 mm drop, and a ride that keeps rolling forward long after your legs have stopped wanting to.
It suits long days off-road and ultra distance, and it suits runners who would rather be protected than nimble.
It is not light and it is not sharp. At 310 g you feel every gram on a climb, and the tall soft midsole takes away the ground feel you want on a technical descent. If your trails are short, steep and rocky, this is more shoe than the job needs.
