When you spot those three iconic stripes on the side of a pair of shoes, you know it’s adidas. The German company is synonymous with comfort, quality, and style. Whether you're training for a marathon or racing around the grocery, the most comfortable adidas shoes have cushy midsoles and feature either Cloudfoam or Boost proprietary technology. To understand which one is right for you, it's helpful to dig into the construction because there are a few key differences between the two.

• Boost: This midsole tech is made of compound foam and is considered the better material of the two, and as a result, it's a pricier option. It is known for its durability and features adidas' most responsive cushioning. However, Boost shoes vary in weight.
• Cloudfoam: This memory foam midsole is considered lightweight in comparison to Boost. It has a cushy feel and is especially great in adidas slides, which have a particularly squishy feel. Cloudfoam shoes also tend to be more affordable but you're not getting quite as much energy return.
