Yes, the outsole is made from Continental™ Rubber, which is known for providing reliable traction and durability on road surfaces.
What is the upper made of and why?
The upper is made from a lightweight engineered mesh. This material is chosen for its excellent breathability, which helps keep your feet cool and comfortable during your runs.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel less responsive over time.
The Adizero Boston 12 features durable LIGHTSTRIKE 2.0 EVA, but all cushioning materials have a lifespan. Regularly inspect the sole for excessive wear. While specific lifespan isn't provided, consider tracking mileage. If you're experiencing a significant drop in responsiveness despite proper care, it might be time for a new pair. Info needed: Specific guidelines on cushioning degradation.
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs.
Ensure you are lacing your shoes correctly for a secure, even fit without overtightening. Experiment with different lacing patterns (e.g., heel lock lacing) if you experience heel slip or pressure points. Check your sock choice; proper running socks can prevent blisters and enhance comfort. Info needed: Specific fit recommendations beyond 'secure fit'.
Lack of grip on certain road surfaces.
The Continental™ Rubber outsole is designed for reliable traction on roads. However, extreme conditions like ice or very slick, wet surfaces may still present traction challenges. Always exercise caution and adjust your pace to conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris that might reduce grip. Info needed: Specific traction performance details on various wet conditions.
