I could feel that one foot in particular was a bit tight acrossways after about eight miles. However, I was also conscious that the sock toes ends were slightly thicker and felt slightly caught on the nails. Afterwards I had the blackest toenail I've had for years, but I'm sure it was the sock, not the shoe. (Snipped the end of the nail last night and let the blood out. Looking ok now.)

Managed 500 miles from first pair, this pair almost done at around 400 and new set being rotated in.

Can say I've personally experienced any of the issues you reported. Adidas trainers tend to be a little snug though so depending on the trainer you have to go between 1/2 to a full size up from your normal shoes. That said...I noted the Ultra Boost was a little narrow when bought brand new however after wearing for a couple of runs they soon stretched to match my foot nicely.

Adidas messed with the sizing of the 20s which come up small, I bought a bargain pair off eBay and can’t run in them because they are too small but kept them for general walking as they are pretty!
