...Or anyone else.

Pretty much just asking, is Cloudfoam, kinda' just a poor mans boost.
I'm thinking of picking up a new pair of work shoes, and the boost is just too expensive for me a right now. At least for work shoes...as my manager is psychotic, and that bitch will freak out at anything but black shoes. ((Not that I mind black shoes, as you know. But the Boost blackouts are very pricey))

I'm probably getting the cloudfoam anyway, because the price is right, and I've never had a bad pare of Adidas. But I'm just wondering what to expect.
---

Ya, for the price they probably are just fine. The ones I'm looking at are like $50.
---

Wearing them right now. I work 12 hour shifts while constantly on my feet and I have to say they're pretty damn good. I come home and my feet don't hurt nearly as much as they did with my old Nikes. Paid about 50ish for them, I'd say definitely worth
---

Cool very nice. And ya, I do a ton of walking at work, and over what is more or less concrete.
I mean there is carpet, but it's completely worn down.
---

They are very different.

1. Boost you sink in to but it also pushes you out giving you extra comfort.
2. Cloadfoam is basically memory foam.

If you NEED blackout then stick with cloudfoams or I would recommend Alphabounces more. Boost is high tier, foam is low. I think bounce is mid tier which would be for you and bounce comes in any color. A pair of alphas will run you 100, less if you get a coupon
---

If they are stricktly for work tho than whatever. I only wear hyped shoes (shoes that are well known) and the alphabounce and UltraBoosts are well known. Cloadfoams are not really well known.

But I trust when you need a everyday shoe you will let me pick out some heat for you :)
---

Haha, yes..

I was actually looking at the Alphabounces as well. I just figured I could get the cloads just to have if I need them, but the Alphas do seem better. Though I do kinda like the way the Cloads look more tbh.

Just thinking about picking something up before I totally blow out the pair I have. ~Though they still have some life in them.
---

..So basically, the Alphas are closer to a poor mand Boost.
---

Yea bounce is basically a cheaper boost. But I love how the alphabounces look :P Heard good things about them but they really don't fit my foot well at all. Foam is its own thing. Alphas can double as an everyday shoe and triple as a running shoe. Foam is kinda....meh.

One thing about the alphas s that they are meant to fit tight, if you have wide feet then avoid alphas
---

Ya, I'm thinking the cloads would be good on slow days, and the Alphas for the bigger days. I could see that working.

The only thing I don't like about the Alphas is that it lacks "die weltmarke mit den 3 streifen" lol

I really like the ones that are Mystery Blue Collegiate Navy/Black. But I'm not sure if the blue would be considered too pronounced for work.
((Yes manager is a c*nt.)) My supervisors are not that bad, and my Director isn't that bad. But that bitch in the middle is a real piece of work.
---

I know how you feel. Always that one bitch at work >,>

They also added Busenitz Boost on adidas.com. Blackout. Check those out if you want, good alternative to ultras if you like skate shoes.
---

Oh, damn. Ya those Busenitz Boost are nice. And available in blackouts, and closer to my price point.
I might keep an eye on those.

Sign up for the newsletter and you get 15% off ;) Ton of tricks to get some money off. That one pair will be better than a alpha and a foam. I would rather have 1 great pair than 2 lesser pairs.
---

I don't have a credit or debit card. But I do have a pre-paid, Credit card though. ((I'm still a cash guy))
I tend to buy through Amazon. But I am liking those Busenitz, I really like the suede ones.
Kinda reminds me of my Sambas.

But ya, one great pair is better than two lesser.

@SiO4

Be careful with the Busenitz tho, not all of them have Boost :P make sure you get the right ones if you planning to get em. Also check the sale section of the site. Some kicks including boost go 50% off, then add that sweet 15%.
---

Ya, I noticed some don't have boost. I get the impression it was added to some after. Which is fine. I was doing a full image search on them.
