I have 3 pairs of the Ultraboost 5X I wear them to the gym. They are perfect to work out in. Good comfort. Not out of this world but very good for standing and walking.

I just ran 10 miles in the UBx5 and honestly they are like whatevers. I expected a lot more from the shoe with the cushioning so nothing special about it. My honest opinion.

I pretty much second your observations. Excellent midsole foam that is let down by the rest of the design choices. The foam tapers aggressively at the forefoot which makes the already high drop feel even worse unless making a point to land on the heel. The upper is nearly impossible to lock down securely unless wearing very thick socks, or cinching down to the point that the boot material folds over creating an uncomfortable pinch, or lace bite. For that reason, I’ll never use this for anything but slow recovery efforts on flat terrain. Also, for me, the outsole rubber itself shows nearly no wear after a hundred miles, but it is coming unglued in several places.
