FAQs

What kind of running is the Adizero Boston 12 best for?

The Adizero Boston 12 is ideal for tempo runs, speed work, long-distance training, and racing on roads and paved surfaces. It's built for performance and efficiency.

How do I determine the correct size?

We recommend measuring your foot and comparing it to adidas's sizing chart. It's often best to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and ensure about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Do these shoes require a break-in period?

While many modern running shoes require minimal break-in, it's always advisable to start with a few shorter, easy runs (3-5 miles) before tackling longer distances or high-intensity workouts to allow the shoes to conform to your feet.

Can I use these for walking or casual wear?

While technically possible, the Adizero Boston 12 is a specialized high-performance running shoe. Its design prioritizes speed and efficiency over casual comfort or versatile styling, so it might not be the most comfortable or appropriate choice for everyday walking.

How long should a pair of Adizero Boston 12s last?

The lifespan of running shoes typically ranges from 300 to 500 miles, or about 4-6 months for regular runners. This can vary based on individual running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. Pay attention to signs of wear like reduced cushioning or tread loss.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Info needed: Specific width options are not provided. Standard adidas Adizero models typically offer a regular fit. If you have wide feet, you may need to check for specific wide-fit versions or try them on to ensure comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Re-evaluate your lacing technique. Ensure you've chosen the correct size by checking toe room (about a thumb's width from your longest toe to the end of the shoe). Consider trying a different size or width if discomfort persists.

Experiencing discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks. Check for any seams or irregularities inside the shoe. Gradually break in the shoes with shorter runs before attempting longer distances. If issues continue, consult a running specialist to confirm fit.

Squeaking sound while running.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's sole. Remove the insole, clean both surfaces, and allow them to dry completely before reinserting. A small amount of talcum powder might also help.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, depending on factors like runner weight and running style. If the shoes have significant mileage, it may be time for a replacement. Consistent use on abrasive surfaces can also accelerate wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Fit & Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight. Use the top eyelet for a more secure heel lock if needed.
  2. Socks: Wear your preferred running socks to ensure an accurate fit and prevent blisters.
  3. First Run: Start with a shorter, easy run to allow your feet to adapt to the shoe's feel.

Compatibility

  • Running Surfaces: Best suited for roads, sidewalks, and track surfaces. Not recommended for technical trails.
  • Foot Type: Generally designed for neutral pronation, but can accommodate mild overpronation with appropriate insoles if necessary.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Gently remove dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or prolonged moisture.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash. This can compromise the shoe's structure and cushioning.
