FAQs
What kind of runner is the Adizero Boston 12 for?
The Adizero Boston 12 is designed for neutral runners who regularly engage in mid- to long-distance training runs and races, particularly those focused on tempo efforts and achieving faster times.
Can I use these for daily easy runs?
While you can, the Boston 12 is optimized for speed and efficiency. For daily easy runs, you might prefer a shoe with a softer, more cushioned ride that prioritizes comfort over propulsion.
What is ENERGYRODS 2.0?
ENERGYRODS 2.0 are glass-fiber infused rods integrated into the midsole. They are designed to create a propulsive feeling, limit energy loss during your stride, and help drive you forward more efficiently.
How do I clean my Adizero Boston 12 shoes?
Gently brush off excess dirt. Hand wash using a small amount of mild soap and cold water. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or drying.
What's the difference between LIGHTSTRIKE PRO and LIGHTSTRIKE 2.0 EVA?
LIGHTSTRIKE PRO is adidas' most advanced, ultralight, and responsive foam, used for a soft, energetic feel. LIGHTSTRIKE 2.0 EVA is a durable, slightly firmer EVA foam that provides stability and longevity, complementing the PRO foam for a balanced ride.
What is the midsole drop?
The Adizero Boston 12 has a 7mm midsole drop, which refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot. This moderate drop is suitable for a wide range of running styles.
Is this shoe good for racing a marathon?
Yes, it is specifically built to carry you through the final miles of race day, including marathons. Its propulsive feel and balanced cushioning are ideal for sustained fast efforts.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or blisters during runs
Ensure proper lacing for a secure fit without being too tight. Wear appropriate running socks. If new, allow a break-in period for the shoe to adapt to your foot.
Lack of expected responsiveness
Verify the shoe is being used for its intended purpose (tempo/long runs). Ensure your running form is efficient. Consider if the shoe's firm feel is simply different from what you're used to.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Continental™ Rubber Outsole offers excellent grip, always exercise caution on very wet or icy surfaces. Reduce stride length and maintain controlled foot placement.
Shoe feels too tight or too loose
Re-adjust laces, experimenting with different lacing patterns for better midfoot lockdown or forefoot space. Ensure you have the correct size; running shoes often require a half-size up from casual shoes.
