FAQs
What type of runner is this shoe best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for female runners with a neutral gait who run medium to long distances and are looking for a lightweight, responsive shoe for both training and racing.
Can I use these for marathon racing?
Yes, the Adizero Boston 13 is designed for racing up to marathon distances, offering a lightweight and propulsive feel.
What is the difference between Lightstrike Pro and Lightstrike 2.0 foam?
Lightstrike Pro is typically a more premium, lighter, and responsive foam, while Lightstrike 2.0 provides a stable and durable cushioning base. The combination aims to offer both speed and comfort.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is made from Continental rubber, which is known for its durability and excellent grip in various conditions, providing reliable traction for extended use.
Can these shoes accommodate orthotics?
The shoes have a standard footbed and lace-up closure. While they do not come with specific accommodations for orthotics, they may be compatible with slim aftermarket insoles or custom orthotics, provided they do not significantly alter the shoe's fit.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
Running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km). Factors like your weight, running surface, and gait can affect this. Pay attention to signs of wear like compressed cushioning or worn-out tread.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for comfort during runs, which means they will not keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause pressure points
Loosen the laces, especially around the area of discomfort, and re-tie them. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, the shoe size or fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Continental rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive mud or debris. While designed for all-weather grip, extreme conditions may still require caution. Check outsole for significant wear.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time
The cushioning may naturally decrease with extended use. Ensure the shoes are not excessively dirty and are dried properly. Consider if the mileage has exceeded the expected lifespan for optimal performance.
Heel feels loose or causes blisters
Tighten the laces through the heel-locking eyelets (if present) or adjust the lacing pattern to secure the heel more firmly. Ensure the Adizero Slinglaunch heel construction is functioning correctly and not damaged.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt after each run. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents and abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Remove insoles and laces and allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in plastic bags.
- Rotation: For optimal longevity and performance, consider rotating these shoes with another pair if you run frequently. This allows the cushioning to fully recover between runs.
