Comparison: Adidas SOLAR Boost vs. Solar GLIDE
Adidas dropped two new boost running shoes this spring (2018), the Solar Boost and the Solar Glide. Now i cant speak to the naming convention but watch to see exactly how these two shoes stack up and why you might buy one over the other.

Thank you so much for these informative videos Ms. Tiffany! In-depth, technical, and not those typical "it feels good" review videos. Very helpful esp. for a running newbie like me who has no clue where to begin with choosing a good running shoe.
Okay I just found this channel and wow what a thorough comparison!
Very good review! Professional, clear, no BS and straight to the point. Thanks!
Nice detailed review! Needed some new running shoes and right now I was looking into getting these or the Nike Legend React 2s.
In earlier generations, when there was an Energy Boost and a Supernova / Glide, these two shoes were a lot more different than now. Both were primarily 'trainers', but one (the Energy) was a faster shoe, with less cushioning, less weight, less reinforcements, a more curved surface that allowed a faster transition, a lighter outsole and upper, and other characteristics that made it a good daily trainer and a good marathon shoe for people with average weight and average speed. If, instead, your weight was high, your speed was slow or you were running an ultra-marathon, the supernova / Glide was better. With time (2016-2017), the differences between the two models shortened; but now there's almost no difference, which is kind of perplexing, because the difference made perfect sense. Now it's more of an aesthetic choice than anything else. Still, most people say that these “Solar” models are better than the last years’ Energy and Supernova. I can't say, because I haven't tried them so far.
When you watch this video inside the Adidas store 🤷🏻♂️
Great review I ended up getting the Solar Glid ST. It has a similar stability control as the Solar. Great shoe.

I just bought a pair of the glide st. How did they do for you?
I have both of these and the Boost in the Glide feels much firmer. I went back and looked at the cushion rating on roadrunner.com and they had the Glide at 4/5 and the Solar Boost at 5/5 on the cushion scale. I also feel like the Glide has more room in the toe box. Do the Solar Boosts stretch any? Im hoping they do. Great Channel and great content!
Awesome review 👍 cheers😁
Thanks Tiffany. Great review and super helpful. As you know, the Adidas website and their chat support is less than helpful when you're trying to figure out the differences. I learned that the Solar Glide is what replaced the Super Novas. I really want to break up with Adidas but the shoes just work so well for me. Cheers!
Solarboost 3 is my jam. Great video!
Was wondering what the difference between these is - not much it seems. So similar in fact not quite sure why have both. I see the Boost one gets a lot more attention that the Glide so good you are looking at both. Kind of assume the Glide is meant to indicate a later version of the Supernova Glide 8 which was a nice everyday running shoe but which apparently was not so well thought of in the straight Supernova that the Solar Glide seems to have replaced.
What a great review!
Thank you ❤️ !
hello tiffany, i saw that solar glide toe box area looks like shorter than solar boost. is that make solar boost more flexible or more room for toe box? thanks.
Hey I have a question. Which shoe has more stability in the toe and front foot area?I have ultra boosts and since the whole shoe is made out of that mesh material with the exception to the cage, I feel sometimes that my foot is protruding from the sides and I could almost rip through it. I don’t do a lot of running, I do more high intensity training where my foot is really flexing front and back and side to side. Do you think these shoes would fit the bill for that sort of training
Very detailed comparison, thanks. Yeah that "stretch web" is not exactly as durable as the old Continental sole of the Glide Boost 6/7/8v1...
She finally convinced me to buy a pair of Solar Boosts :P
BTW excellent review
I just went to the Adidas website and for the same prize as the Solar Boost, you can get some REALLY GOOD customizations in your Solar Glides.
If you in cool weather or don't mind a warm/ hot shoes just go for Solar boost. Solar Glide have much less heat up problem. Mesh in Solar Boost is unbreathable at all. I end up punch some hole for ventilation ( also change to 1-2 mm. insole for more rooms). Still great sneaker though.

Is adidas senseboost go has more softer cushioning than adidas ultraboost?
I have both pairs in front of me. Personally I do feel an obvious difference. Boost seems clunkier, heavier and not as dynamic.
Please can you compare with solar drive 19?
Hi, great video, do you recommend solar glide or the pegasus 35?

Both are pretty great. Glide is softer but maybe too soft for running a lot. Depends on your use. I’ve been really happy with both pairs.

Either is fine. Outsole wears kinda fast, not sure how quick on the treadmill.

Great review!
Solar vs Lunar ???
🔥🔥🔥
Damn. This lady knows shoes.
I have the Solar glide and I absolutely love it.
Notifications.......check!
Sneaker friend check here! #Thanks for the vs review More subs
Reviewer made mistake. Solar glide has a similar torsion system as a solar boost. Very stable shoes. Practically no difference.
Please do a review on the Nike Legend React and compare it to both the Epic & Odyssey React.
Hi
Continental but it wears very easily.... smh. Could have been just thicker an added 50 grams. 300 grams is still light.
Solar boost looks nicer.
Good Afternoon Gorgeous
I have wide feet would it be ok
@TiffanyBeers

they are not as narrow as some Nike Shoes. It depends on how wide your feet are but the upper is flexible so might work out ok.
GLIDE has more room in front...
0:53 u mean midsole?
