A tough question as while the Ride 7 has a better upper I personally prefer the extra stability of the Solar Boost and its copious rubber but...you can get almost 2 pairs of the Ride for the price of one Solar. The Ride 7 is more fun to run that's for sure but I find not as stable as I would like for a daily trainer for day in day out. The Solar Boost upper towards the front may provide some challenges for those with wider feet or bunions while Ride 7's had no such issues for me. The Ride is more breathable but not by much. I find the Solar more responsive but not as lively fun. <br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-52590696139511174042018-07-02T07:13:07.564-06:002018-07-02T07:13:07.564-06:00Hi, Great reviews as always.

Which is most breathable, responsive - good at fast and slow runs and comfortable. Do you have a preference between the two.

One key difference however is that you would find more and softer forefoot cushion and a touch more at the heel in the Solar, at least I did. So if you look like adidas and wanted a more substantial trainer type shoe that isn’t super heavy it is a good option.

Found it comfortable (as I find most Adidas as they seem to use a last very close to my foot shape save for the toe box which could be more 'humanly' anatomic). BUT... I fail to see why I should buy these instead of the adizero Boston. They're cheaper, their more breathable, they're 45g/1.6oz lighter and they're just as cushioned (maybe more? 1mm more on both ends, same drop). Same great Conti rubber. Unless a runner buys based on looks over everything else which would be debatable anyway?

Closed soft shell like front, dense mid foot saddle.<br />While the Solar Boost has some upper challenges of its own I have big problems with the over snug at mid foot Epic React. Gets in the way of transitions for me but many don't complain. The Epic React is of course considerably lighter but I find the ride kind of lifeless and dull in comparison to Solar Boost. Many love it. Another good comparison is the new Pegasus 35, review below. A much more lively shoe if a bit firmer than Epic React or Solar Boost. Reviews of all below.<br />Sam, Editor<br />Thanks for reading!<br />See our page with links to all shoe and gear reviews <a href="http://www.roadtrailrun.com/p/blog-page.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>.

Its upper is fantastic in comparison to Solar Boost’s overdone saddle but definitely prefer Solar Boost’s ride over Glycerin’s. More dynamic at all paces due to Boost bounce well tamed by Torsion and those side rails. If you asked about a comparison to Ghost 10 I would give it a slight nod over Solar. <br />Sam, Editor Sam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-52867418786221535402018-06-04T14:03:31.553-06:002018-06-04T14:03:31.553-06:00Any comparison to the Brooks Glycerin 15 or 16?

After trying few from Nike Adidas include their popular lineup say Pegasus,UB, they're just strongly marketing while the technology are nothing significant over running shoes specific brand eg Asics Saucony NB etc. One who are new and seriously into running now may think Nike and Adidas have surpassed those but again they're not. Just my opinions. The only brand im seeing vast improvement in their shoes is Under armour and Skechers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-19654554841131979702018-05-28T18:14:11.908-06:002018-05-28T18:14:11.908-06:00Interesting impression of this shoe.

With such powerful and sexy marketing by Nike and Adidas, one might be led to believe (especially new runners) that React and now Solar Bounce are the absolute cutting edge in running tech - and they are fine shoes but hardly Saucony, Brooks and NB killers. demianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748017372713240235noreply@blogger.com
