FAQs

What kind of running are the Adizero Boston 12 shoes best for?

These shoes are specifically designed for mid- to long-distance training, providing a race-day feel for tempo runs, long runs, and overall performance improvement over longer distances.

Can I use these shoes for racing?

Yes, while built for training, their propulsive feel and energy return make them a strong candidate for racing, especially for half-marathons and marathons, offering durability alongside speed.

What is ENERGYRODS 2.0?

ENERGYRODS 2.0 are glass-fibre infused rods embedded in the midsole that work to limit energy loss and provide a propulsive, efficient feel, helping you maintain your pace and conserve energy.

How durable are these shoes?

The Adizero Boston 12 is designed with durability in mind, utilizing a combination of Lightstrike Pro and a new version of durable Lightstrike 2.0 EVA in the midsole to withstand the rigors of consistent training.

How should I clean my Adizero Boston 12 shoes?

It is best to hand-clean them with mild soap and water, using a soft brush or cloth for the upper and sole. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or drying to preserve the materials.

What is the fit like?

The engineered mesh upper provides a breathable and targeted fit, offering secure midfoot lockdown while allowing flexibility in the forefoot for comfort and support during your runs.

Troubleshooting

Experiencing discomfort or rubbing during runs.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Experiment with different lacing patterns to alleviate pressure points. Allow for a short break-in period, and wear appropriate running socks.

Shoes feel less responsive or 'dead'.

Running shoes, especially performance models, have a lifespan. Check your mileage; if you've run several hundred miles, it might be time for a new pair. Ensure the outsole isn't excessively worn, which can reduce responsiveness.

Foot feels too restricted or too loose in the midfoot.

The engineered mesh is designed for targeted support. If too restricted, ensure laces aren't overtightened. If too loose, try a runner's knot to secure the heel and midfoot better. Consider if the shoe's volume matches your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a propulsive, race-day feel for enhanced training performance.
  • Features a durable design suitable for consistent mid- to long-distance running.
  • Optimized for energy return, reducing energy loss with each stride.
  • Offers a breathable and supportive fit for comfort during extended use.

Cons

  • Info needed: May have a stiffer ride compared to non-plated, more cushioned daily trainers.
  • Info needed: Specific recommendations for runners with particular gait patterns or foot types.
  • Info needed: Information regarding adaptability for very short distances or casual wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied to provide a snug, comfortable fit without being overly tight, which can restrict circulation. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for shorter, easier runs initially to allow your feet to adapt to their structure and feel, especially if you are new to plated running shoes.

Compatibility

  • Runner Type: Best suited for adult male runners focused on mid- to long-distance training and potentially race day.
  • Terrain: Optimized for road running and track surfaces due to their responsive design and outsole grip.
  • Running Style: Benefits runners who appreciate a propulsive feel and energy return in their stride.

Care

  • Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt after runs. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with water and a soft brush or cloth to scrub the mesh upper and sole. Rinse with clean water.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
  • Info needed: Specific guidelines for machine washing or advanced cleaning methods for the specialized materials are not provided. Always refer to adidas' official care recommendations if available.
