FAQs

What type of running is the Adizero Boston 12 best suited for?

These shoes are best suited for mid- to long-distance running, including regular training, tempo runs, and competitions on road surfaces. They are designed to provide a fast, propulsive feel.

What is the benefit of ENERGYRODS 2.0?

ENERGYRODS 2.0 are glass-fiber infused rods embedded in the sole. They provide a propulsive sensation, limit energy loss during your stride, and facilitate more natural transitions from landing to toe-off.

Are these shoes suitable for heavier runners?

The Adizero Boston 12 is optimized for runners weighing less than 85 kg. While individuals over this weight can still wear them, the full benefits of the cushioning and propulsion might be less pronounced, and durability could be affected over time.

How does the cushioning system work?

The shoes feature a dual-density midsole with LIGHTSTRIKE PRO, an ultra-light foam for exceptional energy return, combined with LIGHTSTRIKE 2.0 EVA, which provides durable and responsive cushioning for comfort during long runs.

Can I use these shoes in wet weather?

Yes, the Continental™ Rubber outsole is specifically designed to provide optimal grip and traction on both dry and wet surfaces, offering a 30% improvement in grip. However, always exercise caution in extremely slippery conditions.

What is the drop of the shoe?

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.

Are these shoes made with sustainable materials?

Yes, the engineered mesh upper of the Adizero Boston 12 is composed of at least 50% recycled materials, reflecting adidas's commitment to reducing plastic waste and environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable during runs.

Check your lacing technique; ensure it's not too tight across the instep. Consider trying different lacing patterns to relieve pressure points. Also, ensure you have the correct size, as foot swelling can occur during longer runs.

Lack of grip on wet surfaces.

While the Continental™ Rubber outsole offers improved grip, always exercise caution on wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris, as dirt can reduce traction. If the shoes are old, the tread might be worn down, indicating it's time for a new pair.

Foot pain or discomfort after runs.

Ensure the shoes are appropriate for your running style and foot type (neutral stability). Check your running form for any inefficiencies. If pain persists, consult a running specialist or a healthcare professional, as insoles or different shoe types might be needed.

Shoes feel less responsive over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 500-800 km, after which the cushioning and responsiveness can degrade. If you've put in significant mileage, it might be time to replace your shoes. Also, ensure proper cleaning and storage to maintain material integrity.

Care

To ensure the longevity of your Adizero Boston 12 shoes, follow these general care guidelines:

  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments.
