FAQs

What kind of runs are the Adizero Boston 12 designed for?

These shoes are specifically engineered for speed and tempo workouts, and for training sessions that simulate race day intensity, helping you improve stamina and performance.

How do the ENERGYRODS benefit my running?

The ENERGYRODS, combined with a forefoot spike plate, create a system of tuned stiffness. This limits energy loss during your stride, helping to provide a propulsive boost, improve your stamina, and enhance performance.

Is the Adizero Boston 12 environmentally friendly?

Yes, the upper of these shoes is made with a series of recycled materials, featuring at least 50% recycled content. This is part of adidas's commitment to help end plastic waste.

What is Lightstrike cushioning?

Lightstrike is adidas's most resilient cushioning technology. It's designed to provide responsive, lightweight, and energetic support, which is crucial for high-intensity training and race preparation.

What is the fit of these shoes?

The adidas Adizero Boston 12 features a regular fit with a traditional lace closure, allowing for a secure and adjustable feel tailored to your foot.

Can I use these shoes for everyday casual wear?

While designed for performance running, especially speed and tempo workouts, their comfortable fit means they can be worn casually. However, their primary design intent and optimal use are for training.

How do I care for my Adizero Boston 12 shoes?

Specific care instructions are not provided, but generally, running shoes should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air-dried. Avoid machine washing or drying to preserve the materials and structure.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort during or after runs

Ensure proper lacing technique for a secure yet comfortable fit, avoiding overly tight spots. Review your shoe size and width; incorrect sizing can lead to discomfort. If new, gradually break in the shoes on shorter runs before longer sessions.

Reduced cushioning feel or responsiveness

Running shoes have a typical lifespan, usually between 300-500 miles, depending on running style and body weight. Track your mileage and consider replacement if the cushioning feels significantly less responsive or 'flat'.

Squeaking sound while running

Check for any loose insoles or debris trapped inside the shoe. Sometimes, new shoe components may produce a slight squeak until fully broken in. Ensure laces are snug, as excessive movement can also cause noise. If persistent, a light application of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help.
