FAQs

Are the Adizero Boston 13 suitable for marathon running?

The Adizero Boston 13 is optimized for speed and tempo training. While they offer good cushioning, dedicated marathoners might prefer shoes with more substantial long-distance cushioning and support. They can be used for marathons, especially by lighter runners focused on time.

How do Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro cushioning differ?

Lightstrike Pro is Adidas's most responsive cushioning, designed for maximum energy return and a propulsive feel. Lightstrike is a lighter, more durable foam that provides essential cushioning and responsiveness. The combination aims to offer both comfort and speed.

What is the purpose of the ENERGYRODS?

The ENERGYRODS are designed to mimic the metatarsals of the foot, limiting energy loss through the toe-off phase of your stride. This promotes a more efficient and faster transition from landing to propulsion.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?

While comfortable, these shoes are engineered for running performance. For everyday casual wear, you might find other shoe types offer more comfort and durability for prolonged standing or walking.

How does the Continental Rubber outsole enhance performance?

Continental Rubber is known for its superior grip in both wet and dry conditions, similar to high-performance tires. It provides exceptional traction and durability, ensuring stability and confidence on various road surfaces.

What kind of terrain are these trainers best for?

These trainers are best suited for road running and firm, dry running tracks. The Lighttraxion outsole provides good grip on paved surfaces and well-maintained trails.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be comfortably snug.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and relace them more loosely. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.

Slipping sensation during runs

Tighten the laces for a more secure fit. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that could affect grip. Check if the shoe size is appropriate.

Discomfort after a few runs

Give your feet time to adapt to the shoe's cushioning and structure. Ensure proper lacing technique. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's fit or support is suitable for your running style.

Mesh upper shows signs of wear

Handle the shoes with care and avoid snagging the mesh on rough surfaces. Clean gently with a soft brush or damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them securely but comfortably, adjusting the tension to your preference. The lace-up design allows for a customized fit across the midfoot.

Compatibility: The adidas Adizero Boston 13 is designed for road running. It is compatible with most standard running socks. It is not designed for use with orthotic insoles that significantly alter the shoe's internal volume, though standard thin insoles may fit.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the mesh upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and water.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use to maintain material integrity.
