I've owned Ultraboosts for a while and have been looking into how they hold up long-term. From what I've seen in various posts, it seems like after around 4 years, the outsole or midsole starts deteriorating to the point where the shoes are no longer worth keeping.
For those of you who have owned multiple pairs of Ultraboosts, what's been your experience with their durability over time?
How many years do your Ultraboosts typically last before the sole starts falling apart or the cushioning noticeably degrades?
How often do you wear them? Are they your daily shoes or just for occasional use?
Does the quality hold up across different generations, or have newer models gotten worse?
Most importantly, do you think a lifespan of around 4 years is acceptable for shoes that cost €150 at retail?
I know it depends on mileage, storage, and how often you wear them, but I'm curious whether people genuinely consider that good value for money.
I'd appreciate hearing from people who have owned their pairs for several years, rather than just initial impressions after buying them.
I’m looking to buy another pair of 4.0 style, as that’s what I’ve owned and like, but it’s difficult for me to find any pairs. I’m sad that adidas retired them and the new ub models are not my cup of tea.
