FAQs

What type of runner is the Adizero Boston 13 best for?

These trainers are ideal for neutral runners looking for a lightweight shoe for speed training, tempo runs, and race preparation. They are not recommended for runners who require significant stability or motion control.

What is the main difference between Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro cushioning?

Lightstrike Pro is designed to be lighter and more responsive than standard Lightstrike, offering a higher level of energy return for performance-oriented running.

How do ENERGYRODS work?

ENERGYRODS are embedded within the midsole to limit energy loss with each stride, aiming to provide a more efficient and propulsive running experience.

Can I use these shoes for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, their design is specialized for running performance. For optimal longevity and function, it's best to reserve them for running activities.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of these shoes?

The Adizero Boston 13 has a midsole drop of 6 mm.

How durable is the Continental™ Rubber outsole?

Continental™ Rubber is known for its durability and grip, providing long-lasting traction on various road surfaces.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, for neutral runners seeking a lightweight and responsive shoe for speed, the Adizero Boston 13 can be suitable for marathon racing and training.

Troubleshooting

Slight discomfort on first wear

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

While Continental™ Rubber offers good grip, exceptionally wet conditions can still reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris for optimal performance.

Upper feels too warm during long runs

The mesh upper is designed for breathability but may feel warm in extreme heat. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. For very hot conditions, consider shoes with more ventilation if this remains an issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return for a responsive feel.
  • Lightweight construction enhances speed.

  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool.
  • ENERGYRODS technology aids in efficient stride.

Cons

  • Neutral shoe type may not offer sufficient support for overpronators.

  • Price point may be higher than basic trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied to your preferred snugness for a secure fit.

Compatibility: Designed for neutral runners. Best suited for road running, asphalt, and hard surfaces. Ideal for speed training, tempo runs, and racing.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot environments like car trunks.
