FAQs
Are the Adizero Boston 12 suitable for daily training?
Yes, the Adizero Boston 12 is built for mid- to long-distance training, offering a responsive and propulsive feel that can be incorporated into your daily running routine, especially for more performance-focused sessions.
What kind of distances are these shoes best for?
These shoes are specifically designed and optimized for mid- to long-distance running, leveraging their advanced cushioning and ENERGYRODS 2.0 for sustained performance.
How do I clean my Adizero Boston 12 shoes?
To clean your Adizero Boston 12, gently brush off loose dirt. Then, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and lukewarm water to clean the mesh upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or drying, and always air dry them away from direct heat.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Adidas running shoes typically run true to size. We recommend checking the adidas sizing guide and trying them on to ensure the best fit for your specific foot shape.
What is the benefit of the ENERGYRODS 2.0?
The glass-fibre infused ENERGYRODS 2.0 are designed to provide a propulsive feel, guiding your foot through each stride and promoting a more efficient toe-off, giving you a faster sensation during your runs.
Can I use these shoes for shorter, faster races?
While designed for training, the race-day feel and propulsive elements of the Adizero Boston 12 make them a viable option for shorter, faster races if you prefer a shoe with a bit more cushioning than a pure race flat.
What's the difference between Lightstrike Pro and Lightstrike 2.0 EVA?
Lightstrike Pro is an ultra-light and highly resilient foam that provides a soft, yet energetic cushioning. Lightstrike 2.0 EVA is a new, more durable version of EVA that offers robust cushioning and stability, working together to deliver a balanced and long-lasting ride.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially or lack expected comfort.
Allow for a short break-in period of 3-5 runs. The cushioning and ENERGYRODS are designed to adapt and become more flexible with use. Ensure your lacing is not too tight.
Foot slides within the shoe during runs.
Re-lace your shoes, focusing on creating a snug fit around the midfoot. Consider using a 'runner's knot' (heel lock lacing) to secure your heel. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks that prevent friction.
Upper mesh seems to wear quickly in certain spots.
While the engineered mesh is durable, excessive friction from incorrect sizing or foot strike can cause premature wear. Ensure your shoes are the correct size and consider an gait analysis if wear patterns are unusual.
Reduced propulsion or responsiveness over time.
All running shoes have a lifespan. Reduced responsiveness can indicate that the cushioning materials and ENERGYRODS are nearing the end of their effective life, typically after 300-500 miles, depending on individual usage and body weight.

- Breathable and supportive upper for a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for a secure fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slippage. A common technique is the 'runner's knot' (heel lock) to prevent the heel from slipping.
- Break-In: While many modern running shoes require minimal break-in, allow a few runs for the cushioning and upper to fully adapt to your foot and running style.
Compatibility
- Running Surface: Best suited for road running, paved paths, and track surfaces.
- Distance: Optimized for mid- to long-distance training and races.
- Runner Type: Ideal for neutral runners seeking a responsive and propulsive ride for performance-oriented training.
Care
- Cleaning: Gently clean the mesh upper with a soft brush, mild soap (like diluted laundry detergent), and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing. For tough dirt on the outsole, use a firmer brush.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Excessive heat can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Remove insoles after very wet runs to allow them to dry separately and prevent odor.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your Adizero Boston 12 with another pair of running shoes to extend their lifespan and allow the cushioning to fully recover between runs.
