FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Adizero Boston 12 are designed to handle long distances and are a popular choice for marathon training and racing due to their blend of responsiveness and cushioning.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The fit should be snug in the heel and midfoot, with enough room in the forefoot.
Can I use these for trail running?
While they can handle light trails, they are primarily designed for road running. For technical trails with uneven terrain, dedicated trail running shoes would offer better traction and protection.
How often should I replace my Adizero Boston 12 trainers?
For optimal performance and injury prevention, running shoes typically need replacement every 300-500 miles (480-800 km), or when the cushioning feels significantly worn down or the outsole shows excessive wear.
What is the main difference between the Adizero Boston and other adidas running series?
The Adizero Boston series generally focuses on providing a faster, more responsive ride suitable for tempo runs and racing, often featuring lighter materials and more aggressive geometries compared to everyday trainers.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability, which means they will allow air to pass through but will also let water in if submerged. They are suitable for dry and slightly wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort or rubbing
This is common with performance footwear. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. Try wearing thicker socks or using band-aids on potential hot spots during initial runs. The shoes should become more comfortable as they break in.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for optimal grip on dry to slightly damp conditions. For very wet surfaces, proceed with caution as grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Squeaking noise during runs
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or moisture. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe or around the tongue area. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.

Care:
