FAQs
Who is the adidas Adizero Boston 12 for?
These trainers are designed for adult runners, particularly those who want a versatile shoe for both daily training and faster workouts like tempo runs. They are best suited for individuals with a neutral foot strike.
What is the main benefit of the Adizero Boston 12?
The key benefit is its balanced combination of responsiveness and cushioning, offering a lively feel that can adapt to various training paces.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
Yes, many runners find them suitable for marathon racing, especially those who prefer a more direct feel and appreciate the energy return. However, if you prioritize maximum plush cushioning for ultra-long distances, you might explore other options.
How do I clean my Adizero Boston 12 trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush to remove dirt, a damp cloth for surface cleaning, or mild soap and cold water for deeper cleaning. Always air dry them away from direct heat and never machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

Do these shoes come in other colors?

What is the fit like for the Adizero Boston 12?
The fit is generally true to size for a standard width foot. Some runners with wider feet might find them a bit snug, so trying them on is recommended if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are threaded evenly. If the issue persists, consider if a wider fit might be necessary, though this model is designed for a standard fit.
Laces coming undone
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a more grippy material if this is a frequent problem.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides good traction, extremely wet or slick surfaces can be challenging. Run with caution and consider alternative footwear for very wet conditions if traction is a major concern.
Discomfort after initial runs
Allow a short break-in period of a few runs. If discomfort persists, check lacing and consider if the shoe's support profile is suitable for your foot strike.
