Product Information
Full details
The adidas Adizero Boston 13 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking improved speed and comfort for race day training, uptempo runs, or actual races. The key benefit is a more responsive and comfortable ride due to enhanced Lightstrike Pro foam and an updated midsole construction. A potential caveat is that the focus on speed might mean a firmer feel for those accustomed to maximum cushioning.

FAQs
What type of running is the Adizero Boston 13 best suited for?
This shoe is ideal for race day training, uptempo daily runs, and race day itself, offering a balance of speed, comfort, and responsiveness.
What is the main cushioning technology used?
It utilizes a combination of Lightstrike Pro foam for a soft, responsive feel and Lightstrike foam for a firm base, along with ENERGYRODS for efficient stride guidance.
How does the traction perform?
The outsole features targeted Lightraction rubber for excellent grip with reduced weight, and durable Continental rubber in key areas for longevity.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of this shoe?
The heel offset is 6mm.
What is the weight of the Adizero Boston 13?
The shoe weighs approximately 255 grams.
Can I use these shoes for recovery runs?
While they offer comfort, the primary design is for faster running. For very slow recovery runs, a shoe with a softer, more forgiving cushioning profile might be preferred by some runners.
What is the difference between Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro foam?
Lightstrike Pro is designed to be softer and more responsive, providing the primary cushioning and energy return. Lightstrike offers a firmer base for stability and efficiency within the midsole construction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct size; consider trying a half-size up or down if available and feasible.
Reduced traction after several uses
Clean the outsole rubber to remove any embedded debris or dirt that may be reducing grip. Check for excessive wear on the rubber in critical areas. For persistent issues, consider replacing the shoes if significant wear is apparent.
Cushioning feels too firm
The Adizero Boston 13 features a blend of foams designed for responsiveness. If a softer feel is preferred, ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (uptempo runs and races). For daily slower miles, a shoe with more plush cushioning might be more suitable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear running shoes. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The shoes are designed for direct use without any required setup.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a dry brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are properly aired out after each use to prevent odor buildup.
