Let’s face it—standing all day is tough on your body. If you’ve ever worked a job or attended an all-day event that keeps you on your feet, you know the feeling: first your feet ache, then your back, then your shoulders and neck. Not only is this something that can cause you pain in the immediate, but unfortunately, this is an issue that can present pain/alignment problems in the future. The easiest fix? Invest in a pair of shoes with serious cushioning—walking or running styles work best—and these Adidas sneakers fit the bill.

The brand offers plenty of options, most priced between $150 and $180, with some styles dipping under $100. That’s a steal for a company known for comfort, thanks to their plush midsoles and Cloudfoam technology. To help get you started, I've rounded up the best of 'em for you to check out *RN.*

How I Picked the Most Comfortable Adidas Shoes

Most of our picks for this article were made from looking at the most highly-rated and reviewed shoes on the Adidas website from a comfort standpoint. I also checked in with a couple of PureWow editors to see what their personal experiences have been in regards to comfortable Adidas sneakers.

Additionally, I referred back to a 2021 footwear study conducted by Hylton B. Menz and Daniel R. Bonanno, entitled Journal of Foot and Ankle Research which states that "well-fitted, lightweight shoes with soft midsoles and curved rocker-soles are generally perceived to be most comfortable," and that properly fitted and comfortable footwear leads to less of a chance of injury. The result? A list of comfortable Adidas shoes that cater to multiple different occasions, budgets and style preferences.

The Campus OOs are a perfect mixture of comfort and style. Made with high-quality leather and rubber, they feature a soft upper interior and inner cushioning to make walking a breeze. The upper is lined with soft textile terry fabric for breathability, and there are plenty of colors to choose from. "The materials are excellent and they are really comfortable sneakers," raves one buyer, which is all the more reason to add these to your cart. Just to note: Some shoppers say these shoes have a snug fit, so you may want to consider sizing up.

Perfect for light workouts or days when you’re constantly on the move, the Solarglide delivers both comfort and performance. Its full-length BOOST midsole gives you energy with every step, while supportive construction protects your feet and ankles with whatever you're doing. Or, as one happy shopper writes: “Excellent sneaker. I love this model. It’s very comfortable and athletic.”

The Ultraboost 5 DNA can be hard to get your hands on, so consider yourself lucky if you're able to snag yourself a pair. Aside from being one of the most popular sneakers in the Adidas lineup, they are renowned for their comfort, as they feature a thick midsole and a stretchy upper that helps decrease blisters and rubbing.

The Samba is an Adidas classic that has been around for decades (it was designed in 1949). While definitely an OG, the brand has made some modern updates to the silhouette, which include keeping it fresh with the suede detailing ingrained into the leather design. The tan gum outsole provides a dynamic contrast, and the shoes are super comfortable—especially once you break them in, giving you the best of both worlds in terms of style and comfort.

Hitting the trails this season? Make sure to take these Adidas Terrex hiking shoes with you. Something of a blend between a sneaker and a boot (aka, a sneaker boot), the Terrex features a BOOST midsole, which is the secret sauce for its premium comfort. Plus, it has a supportive upper that hugs the foot for added padding, an internal frame and heel support. I personally tested these a few years ago during a day-long trip, and my feet didn't hurt at all, so I can attest to their comfort.

  • Sizes: 5 to 10.5
  • Upper material: mesh
  • Sole material: rubber

Another classic that has been reinvented over and over in the Adidas lineup, the Superstars tend to be overlooked in the comfort department since they require a break-in period before you can wear them. Once fully broken in, however, they are one of the most comfortable sneakers out there, and I'm not joking. I'm not alone in my sentiment either, as one buyer writes, "It's an amazing shoe with a great history and lovely comfort." What's more, the Superstars are also a good choice for those with wider feet as they are built slightly wider to begin with.

"As a healthcare worker who is on their feet 8-to-12 hours during a shift; this is an excellent shoe for both support and comfort," exclaims one happy Adidas shopper, who continues, "My foot tends to run wide for runner/cross training shoes so Adidas is a perfect fit for me without having to specifically order a wide style." If you can't already tell, the Kaptir is a fan favorite of many shoe lovers, particularly those who are huge fans of the Adidas brand. And considering its Cloudfoam midsole and breathable knit upper, it's no surprise that it offers an incredible amount of comfort. Factor in the under $60 price tag, and this is a winner in my book.

I can't be the only adult who still gets excited over glow-in-the-dark shoes. That fun detail aside, the Supernovas are packed with Adidas technology, starting with their breathable engineered mesh upper and Dreamstrike cushioning, which the brand says supports smooth transitions. The Adiwear outsole provides grip and durability, and those who have worn the shoe can't stop talking about it. "This has to be the most perfect pair of shoes that I have ever had! They were totally awesome straight out of the box. No breaking in was necessary, and they are SO comfortable and fit like a glove," raves one customer. Some shoppers also say the Supernovas run slightly big, so you may want to consider sizing down to achieve the best fit. Oh, and did I mention they glow in the dark?

A quick and easy sneaker that can be worn all day if needed, the Duramo comes with a wide-fit design and lightweight cushioning that makes for an airy, cloud-like feel. According to shoppers, they fit true-to-size, and especially come in handy if you have a job that requires you to be on your feet all day. For those of us with wider feet, the stylish design and amazing price make these guys a must-have.

These look like they came straight from the runway (and from the 2000s), and well, it's not often you get a high-fashion looking shoe that is also rooted in comfort. Sure, the unique design make them stylish, but the real draw is the brand's Adiplus cushioning, which they say provides just the right amount of underfoot support for cozy, pain-free everyday wear. I'll take two of them, please!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Adidas shoes so comfortable?

Adidas shoes, particularly those made with Boost technology, are so comfortable because their cushioning properties are designed to make you feel as though you are floating on a cloud. Another advantage of shoes with Boost is that they are built to withstand different weather conditions, meaning if you have a job or situation where you may have to be outside at times, you'll be protected. Some other components of Adidas sneakers that make them so comfortable are their durability and flexibility. Finally, they are known for giving you just enough space so that the fit isn't too tight while still not being overly loose.
