FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
Yes, the Boston 13 is specifically designed for distances from training runs up to the full 42km marathon distance.
Does this shoe provide stability for overpronation?
No, the Adizero Boston 13 is designed as a neutral support shoe and does not contain corrective features for severe overpronation.
Can I use these for treadmill running?
Absolutely, the lightweight construction and reliable grip perform very well on treadmill belts.
How should I clean the foam midsole?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot clean the foam. Do not submerge the shoes completely in water.
What is the primary function of the ENERGYRODS 2.0?
They provide structural stiffness that aids in energy return, helping to propel you forward during your stride.
Is this a waterproof shoe?
No, while the outsole offers good grip, the upper material is breathable and is not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Sensation of heel slippage
Try using the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly against the Slinglaunch construction.
Feeling too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the tension of the laces along the midsection, loosening them slightly to allow for foot swelling during long runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Adizero Boston 13 trainers, keep the following care tips in mind. After each run, remove the insoles to allow the interior to air out fully, which prevents moisture buildup and odor. If the shoes become dirty, gently hand-wash them using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water—avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives. Regularly inspect the outsole for embedded debris to maintain the grip of the LIGHTTRAXION rubber. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material degradation.
