FAQs
What type of running is the Adizero Boston 13 best suited for?
The Adizero Boston 13 is ideal for tempo training, interval workouts, and race days where speed and performance are prioritized. It also performs well for longer distance runs due to its cushioning and stability.
What is the primary cushioning technology used?
The shoes feature a combination of Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro cushioning, designed for lightweight responsiveness and significant energy return.
How does the outsole provide grip?
The Lighttraxion outsole is combined with Continental Rubber in the forefoot, providing excellent traction and durability across various running surfaces.
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
While suitable for any runner, their performance-oriented design makes them particularly appealing to intermediate and advanced runners looking to improve their speed and efficiency. Beginners may also use them, but it's important to ensure a comfortable and supportive fit.
Can I machine wash these running shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Hand wash with mild soap and water, and air dry.
What do the ENERGYRODS 2.0 do?
The ENERGYRODS 2.0 are internal glass fibre elements that help limit energy loss during toe-off and promote a more propulsive stride, contributing to a feeling of effortless speed.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made of textile, specifically a lightweight mesh designed for breathability and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing techniques or ensure you are tying the knot securely but not excessively tight.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the Continental Rubber offers excellent grip, very wet conditions can reduce traction for any shoe. Ensure you are running mindfully and adjust your stride if necessary. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris.
Discomfort during long runs
Ensure the shoes fit correctly. Consider trying different sock thicknesses. If discomfort persists, the shoe's cushioning and support profile might not be ideal for your specific biomechanics or running style. Consult with a running specialist if problems continue.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Dab with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Adizero Boston 13 comes ready to wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tightness for a secure fit. The shoe is designed for immediate use without any assembly required.
Compatibility: These running shoes are designed for road running and track use. They are compatible with standard running socks. Not intended for use in water or extreme muddy conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, which can alter their shape and material integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. This helps maintain the material's condition and prevent degradation.
