Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Adizero Boston 12 shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what best suits your foot shape and running style, ensuring good midfoot lockdown without excessive pressure.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for:
- Mid- to Long-Distance Running: Perfect for daily training runs, long runs, and endurance building.
- Tempo Runs and Speed Work: The propulsive feel and responsive cushioning make them excellent for picking up the pace.
- Road Running: The `Continental Rubber` outsole is optimized for asphalt and paved surfaces.
They may not be ideally suited for:
- Technical Trail Running: Lacking deep lugs for aggressive off-road terrain.
- Casual Walking: While comfortable, their performance-oriented design might feel less flexible than dedicated casual footwear.
Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Adizero Boston 12 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap (like dish soap) diluted in water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
- Odour Control: If needed, remove insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
