These shoes are specifically designed for mid- to long-distance running, particularly for tempo training runs where you want a fast and propulsive feel.
The shoe weighs approximately 219 grams (7.7 oz) for a size 40 (EU) / UK 6.5 (men's).
The Adizero Boston 12 has a 7 mm drop, with a heel stack height of 38 mm and a forefoot stack height of 31 mm.
Yes, the Continental™ Rubber outsole provides excellent grip and traction on both dry and wet road surfaces, with up to 30% improved grip on wet conditions.
Yes, the upper part of the shoe is made with a minimum of 50% recycled content, contributing to adidas' efforts to reduce plastic waste.
The shoes feature a dual-layer cushioning system with ultra-light Lightstrike Pro for maximum energy return and Lightstrike 2.0 EVA for enhanced softness, lightness, and durability.
Yes, the Adizero Boston 12 is generally recommended for runners weighing less than 85 kg to optimize performance and cushioning benefits.
The glass-fibre infused ENERGYRODS 2.0 are strategically placed in the midsole to limit energy loss and create a propulsive sensation, allowing for more natural and efficient transitions during your run.
The Engineered Mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists, check that your shoes are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow.
Ensure your running form utilizes the midfoot strike to engage the ENERGYRODS 2.0 and Lightstrike Pro cushioning effectively. For optimal performance, these shoes are best suited for tempo runs and mid- to long-distance efforts where their propulsive elements can truly shine.
The Continental™ Rubber outsole offers enhanced grip on wet surfaces. While it significantly improves traction, no shoe can entirely eliminate slippage on all wet or extremely slick surfaces. Adjust your stride and pace in very wet conditions.
These shoes are recommended for runners under 85 kg. If you are above this weight, the cushioning and support might not provide optimal protection or comfort, potentially leading to discomfort. Consider shoes designed for heavier runners or those with more inherent stability.
The ENERGYRODS 2.0 provide a structured, propulsive feel that might take a few runs to get accustomed to if you're used to very flexible shoes. Give them a few runs to break in and allow your foot to adapt to the dynamic ride.
The Adizero Boston 12 features a standard lacing system. Simply lace them up as you would any traditional running shoe, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The engineered mesh upper is designed to adapt to your foot for immediate comfort, minimizing the need for an extensive break-in period.
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Adizero Boston 12 shoes:
