I'm not a runner. There's a bunch of different technologies out now though. For example the Nike Alphafly was so good, there was talk of banning it...or maybe that was just PR hype/marketing.

Nike React is similar but lighter, Air Zoom, ZoomX less durable but the best of the best for competing
Adidas Lightstrike is better than their Ultraboost foam
Pretty much anything Hoka uses
New Balance Fresh Foam
Reeboks Floatride foam is pretty similar and lighter

From my own anecdotal experience with friends, not all runners like them. They are a bit of an acquired taste. Plus, boost is no longer considered the most advanced energy transfer system.
They honestly suck ass for long runs, and wear fast.

The 4D’s on sale yesterday are way better for that. Or Nike Zooms. Or ASIC’s.

Boost are comfortable for casual daily wear, standing around all day or short walks.

Ultraboost were designed specifically for long distance running. While I agree, that they have now been overtaken by more advanced technology, they do not "suck ass". Like I said before, I do not consider myself a runner. But I've done multiple 5km runs in Ultraboosts, and they were fantastic for me.

Runner's World still rates the boost shoes very highly:

Do you have 5 pairs of them? Because I do. I speak from first hand experience.

Girlfriend also has a few pairs. She uses Ultra's as work shoes because they are good to stand around in all day. Switches to Nike when we go walking though.

Everyone I know who owns them hates them for running.

I have more than 5 pairs of ultraboost. I've been wearing them for 3-4 years now. Once again, there are multiple running enthusiasts who still rate them highly. They are no longer the best, but still totally fine for most runners. Obviously, running shoes are a bit of an individual taste, with some people preferring a more traditionally supportive shoe.
