FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, the Adizero Boston 13 is primarily designed as a high-performance running shoe. For everyday casual wear, you might prefer a shoe with a softer, more cushioned sole.

How do I know if I have the right size?

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight around the midfoot and heel.

What is the intended mileage for these shoes?

Performance running shoes like the Adizero Boston 13 typically last between 300-500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. Look for signs of wear on the outsole and midsole.

Can I use these for marathon racing?

Yes, the Adizero Boston 13 is designed to be a versatile shoe suitable for both training and racing, including marathons, due to its lightweight and responsive characteristics.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Adizero Boston 13 is not waterproof. The upper materials are designed for breathability, which means they will not keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

What is the main difference between this model and other Adizero shoes?

The Adizero line offers various models optimized for different types of running. The Boston series is generally considered a versatile workhorse, balancing speed and durability for daily training and tempo runs, often differing from more specialized marathon racers or ultra-light trainers in cushioning and support.

Troubleshooting

Initial discomfort or pressure points

This is common with performance shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight or too loose.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The outsole is optimized for dry to slightly damp conditions. For very wet or slippery surfaces, exercise caution. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal tread contact.

Uppers feel too snug

Check the lacing. Loosen the laces, put the shoe on, and then re-lace starting from the bottom, adjusting tension as you go. If still too snug, the model may not be the best fit for your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional lightness for improved speed and reduced effort.
  • Durable construction ensures the shoe can handle frequent and intense use.
  • Designed for superior comfort during long training runs.
  • Optimized for performance, aiding in race day preparation.
  • Incorporates advanced technology for a better running experience.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Specific fit might not suit all foot types without trying on.
  • Focus is on performance, which may mean less emphasis on casual cushioning.
  • Durability claims are based on typical usage; extreme conditions could affect longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear performance trainers. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly. It is recommended to wear them for shorter runs initially to allow your feet to adapt to the shoe's design and support.

Compatibility: The Adizero Boston 13 is designed for road running and track training. It is compatible with most standard running socks. While not explicitly designed for trail running, they may offer some grip on light, dry trails.

Care: To maintain the shoe's performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
