FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
The Adizero Boston 13 is designed for speed and performance training. While a beginner could use them, they might be better suited for runners who have a bit more experience and are looking to improve their speed or train for races.
What is the difference between Lightstrike Pro and Lightstrike?
Lightstrike Pro is a lighter and more responsive cushioning compound designed for higher energy return, often used in performance shoes. Lightstrike is a durable and responsive cushioning that provides a stable ride. The combination in the Adizero Boston 13 aims to balance plushness with a fast feel.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure, and the midfoot should be snug without being constricting. Refer to the adidas sizing chart for precise measurements.
Can I use these for everyday walking?
While comfortable, these shoes are optimized for running. For extensive walking, dedicated walking shoes might offer better support and durability for that specific activity.
How do the ENERGYRODS contribute to performance?
ENERGYRODS are designed to limit energy loss during the toe-off phase of your stride. They provide a responsive and propulsive feel, helping you maintain momentum and efficiency mile after mile.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Adizero Boston 13 has a midsole drop of 6 mm, with a heel height of 36 mm.
Are these shoes made from recycled materials?
Yes, these shoes are made in part with recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Slipping sensation on wet surfaces
While the Continental™ Rubber offers good grip, performance on extremely wet surfaces may vary. Ensure proper fit and consider alternative shoes for very slick conditions if needed.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure the laces are adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit. Verify you have the correct size and consider wearing them with appropriate running socks. Break them in gradually on shorter runs.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Running shoe cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended lifespan for performance running shoes, typically 300-500 miles, depending on use and conditions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent energy return for a responsive feel.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
These are ready-to-wear running shoes. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first run. Adjust the lace closure for a secure yet comfortable midfoot lockdown.
Compatibility
The Adizero Boston 13 is designed for road running but offers all-purpose traction due to the Lighttraxion outsole and Continental™ Rubber. They are compatible with most standard running socks.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Clean the shoes after use, especially after running in wet conditions. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
