  • RunRepeat : 71.6 / 100 — « We think the Ultrarun 5 is a great choice if you like the Ultraboost look but don’t want to spend too much. In our lab tests, we found it has a soft-and-secure upper and nice support for heel strikers. It doesn’t feel as bouncy as more expensive shoes, but it does a good job for daily runs. We were happy with its comfort, roomy fit, and low price, and we believe it's a good choice for both running and casual use. »
