FAQs

What type of running are the Adizero Boston 12 shoes best for?

These shoes are specifically engineered for mid- to long-distance tempo training, interval sessions, and preparatory runs for races, offering a propulsive and cushioned experience.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, the Adizero Boston 12 shoes are primarily performance-oriented. Their design and technology are optimized for running, not for casual everyday use.

How do the ENERGYRODS 2.0 enhance my run?

The glass-fibre infused ENERGYRODS 2.0 are designed to limit energy loss underfoot, providing a springy, propulsive feel that helps drive you forward more efficiently during faster paces.

What is the drop of the Adizero Boston 12?

The shoes feature a 7mm drop, with a heel stack height of 38mm and a forefoot stack height of 31mm.

Is the outsole suitable for different weather conditions?

Yes, the Continental™ Rubber outsole provides excellent grip and traction on both dry and wet road surfaces, enhancing stability in various conditions.

Do these shoes contain recycled materials?

Yes, the upper of the Adizero Boston 12 is made with at least 50% recycled content, as part of adidas' commitment to reducing plastic waste.

What is the approximate weight of a single shoe?

A single shoe (in a size 40 UK/7 US) weighs approximately 219 grams, contributing to its lightweight and fast feel.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks made from moisture-wicking materials. The lightweight mesh upper is designed for breathability, but sock choice significantly impacts foot comfort.

The shoes feel stiff or less responsive than expected.

Give the shoes a few runs to break them in. The ENERGYRODS 2.0 and cushioning foams may require some mileage to fully adapt to your stride. Ensure your lacing is not too tight, restricting natural foot movement.

I'm experiencing discomfort or rubbing in certain areas.

Re-evaluate your lacing technique to see if adjustments help. Ensure your socks are well-fitting and seam-free. If discomfort persists, check your shoe size; consider if you might need a different size or width, especially if your feet swell during runs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional energy return and a propulsive feel for fast training runs.
Superior cushioning for comfort during mid- to long-distance efforts.
Durable construction designed for consistent training mileage.
Reliable grip on diverse surfaces, including wet conditions, thanks to Continental™ Rubber.
Lightweight and breathable design ensures comfort and a secure fit.

Cons

Specialized design for tempo training might not be ideal for very slow recovery runs or casual wear.
Optimal performance is geared towards neutral runners; specific arch support details are not emphasized.
While durable, regular long-distance use requires consistent care to maintain shoe longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Lacing: When first putting on your Adizero Boston 12, ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight. Use all eyelets to create a secure, comfortable fit that prevents your foot from sliding within the shoe.
Fit Check: Stand up and walk a few steps. Your toes should have a small amount of room (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The midfoot should feel secure, and your heel should not slip significantly.
Break-in: While designed for performance out of the box, it's advisable to wear them for a few shorter runs before tackling your longest or fastest efforts to allow them to conform to your foot.

Compatibility

Runner Type: These shoes are primarily designed for neutral runners and are suitable for those who do not require significant motion control.
Running Usage: Ideal for mid- to long-distance tempo training, interval training, and preparing for race day. They perform best when you're looking to maintain a faster pace or push your limits.
Surface: Best suited for road surfaces and paved paths due to their outsole design and cushioning properties.

Care

Cleaning: Gently clean visible dirt with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent material degradation and shrinkage.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
