FAQs

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

These trainers are best suited for neutral runners who prioritize speed and a lightweight feel for medium distances (6-12 km) and intense training sessions or races.

How does the Lightstrike Pro cushioning differ from Lightstrike?

Lightstrike provides a super-light base for dynamic movement, while Lightstrike Pro is an additional layer of cushioning designed to be soft yet responsive, enhancing energy return with every stride.

Can I use these shoes for marathon running?

While they offer excellent performance, their primary design is for shorter to medium distances. For full marathons, runners might prefer a shoe with more long-distance cushioning and support, though some may find them suitable depending on their personal preference and running style.

What is the purpose of the Continental Rubber outsole?

The Continental Rubber outsole is strategically placed on the toe-off area to provide superior grip and traction, especially during the push-off phase of your stride, while also contributing to durability.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for running in dry conditions and light rain, but not for prolonged exposure to wet environments.

What does a 6mm midsole drop mean for my run?

A 6mm drop (36mm in the heel, 30mm in the forefoot) typically promotes a more forward-leaning posture and can encourage a faster cadence and quicker transition from heel-strike to toe-off.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the midfoot eye-stays are properly utilized for lockdown.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces.

While Continental rubber offers excellent traction, always exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.

Mesh upper appears dirty.

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush, mild soap, and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.

Midsole feels too firm for comfort.

These shoes are designed for responsiveness. If a softer feel is preferred, consider using them for faster runs or intervals where responsiveness is key, or explore models with more plush cushioning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight for enhanced speed and reduced fatigue.
  • Responsive cushioning provides a dynamic and energetic feel.
  • Excellent traction from Continental Rubber ensures grip in various conditions.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
  • Secure midfoot lockdown for confidence during fast paces.

Cons

  • May offer less ankle support compared to bulkier trainers.
  • Extremely lightweight upper might be less durable for very rugged training.
  • Best suited for neutral runners; may not provide sufficient support for overpronators.
  • The performance-focused design might feel firm for runners seeking maximum plushness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear straight out of the box. Simply ensure they are laced appropriately for a secure and comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed for neutral runners, these trainers are compatible with most running gaits. They are suitable for road running surfaces.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Adizero Boston 13 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cool water using a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a dryer.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  4. Rotation: For maximum lifespan, consider rotating these trainers with another pair of shoes to allow them to fully dry and recover between runs.
