FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
Yes, while primarily a trainer, the Boston 12 is responsive enough to be used as a marathon racing shoe for runners who prefer a more stable, slightly firmer platform.
How do I choose the right size?
The Adizero Boston 12 fits true to size. We recommend selecting your standard athletic footwear size, ensuring a thumb's width of space at the front.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are designed with breathable mesh materials to optimize ventilation, meaning they are not waterproof.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are optimized for running, the stable base makes them suitable for general gym activities, though they are not specialized weightlifting shoes.
How long will the foam stay responsive?
With standard usage, the cushioning technology is designed to retain its integrity for 400-500 miles, depending on your running surface and biomechanics.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's knot' lacing technique to secure the heel lock and tighten the midfoot eyelets.
Feeling discomfort after the first run
The shoe features a structured foam that often requires 20-30 miles of usage to fully adapt to your foot strike pattern.
Outsole debris buildup
Use a soft plastic tool or brush to gently clear rocks or gravel from the rubber lugs to maintain consistent traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, ensure the laces are tightened firmly but not restrictively to maintain the shoe's midfoot lock. If you are using custom orthotics, the standard liners are removable, though the shoe is designed to provide neutral support out of the box. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap. If the shoes become soaked, remove the liners and stuff the interior with dry paper to absorb moisture, allowing them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or degrading.
