FAQs

Who are the Adizero Boston 13 shoes best for?

These shoes are ideal for adult female runners looking for a lightweight, responsive shoe for tempo runs, interval training, and race days. They suit neutral runners who prefer a firmer, propulsive feel.

What is the main difference between Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro?

Lightstrike is a lightweight yet durable foam offering a responsive ride. Lightstrike Pro is typically a softer, more resilient foam that provides enhanced energy return and cushioning, working together in the Boston 13 for a balanced feel.

Can I use these shoes for everyday training?

Yes, they can be used for everyday training, especially if you incorporate faster runs into your routine. However, for very long or recovery runs where maximum comfort and plush cushioning are desired, some runners might prefer a softer shoe.

How do the energy rods enhance performance?

The 2.0 glass fibre energy rods are designed to work with the foam midsole to create a spring-like effect. They help to improve energy return with each stride, making your foot transition more efficiently and providing a propulsive sensation.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is designed for average width feet. While the mesh upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or check for wide options if available.

How should I clean my Adizero Boston 13 shoes?

Clean them with a soft brush to remove dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap if needed. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What kind of outsole grip can I expect?

The shoes feature a Lighttraxion outsole enhanced with Continental rubber, offering excellent grip and durability on dry and moderately wet road surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If discomfort persists, consider if the size or width is appropriate for your feet.

Lack of cushioning for longer runs

The Adizero Boston 13 is designed for a firmer, more responsive ride. If you require maximum cushioning for very long runs, consider a shoe with more plush foam. For these shoes, ensure your running form is efficient to maximize the propulsive benefits.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

While Continental rubber provides excellent grip, extremely wet or oily surfaces can still be challenging. Run cautiously on such surfaces and ensure the outsole is clean from debris that might impede grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no special setup. Simply ensure they fit comfortably before your first run.

Compatibility: Designed for road running. Suitable for runners with a neutral pronation. Compatible with most running socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. If necessary, clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot environments like car trunks for extended periods. Rotate with other shoes if possible to extend their lifespan.
