So is the Adios Boost available in the US? I happen to be in another country right now and found them here and am wondering if I should buy them. If they won't be available in the US for a while, I might.

Haha!

btw, they're the same size as my 2011 Distance, and fit about the same. I'm pretty excited about this shoe...

Looks like quite a few course records are made in Boost shoes after all. Maybe it's a gimmick, but it clearly doesn't seem to degrade performance. ;)

What, no Adidas Spingblade? (lol)

Offhand though, I think a casual survey like this says more about which shoe company can afford to sponsor more elite athletes than anything about who makes the "best" shoes.

EDIT: Hah! Cody R. and I made the same joke.

Ah, re-reading my comment, it might seem like I was suggesting that your post was making a causal connection between shoe type and finish place. Not my intent at all. I can easily see how the "it's all about the shoes" contingent of the readership of a fashion-focused sneaker site like the Sneaker Report might come away with that (ill-formed) conclusion, though.

They are out. Running Warehouse had them, but they seem to be gone now in men's. Road Runner Sports has them in stock.
