Our Verdict
adidas Hyperboost Edge
adidas Zenboost
The adidas Hyperboost Edge is a better daily trainer than the adidas Zenboost. Its much deeper cushioning keeps legs protected over everything from easy runs to marathon efforts, and it rolls much more smoothly, making it easier to maintain your stride as the miles build. However, it's also significantly heavier, less stable, and much more expensive, so the Zenboost is the better pick if you're running short distances and want an affordable shoe that sits lower to the ground.
