FAQs

What type of running is the Adizero Boston 12 best suited for?

These shoes are designed for mid to long-distance running, road races, tempo runs, and high-intensity training sessions.

What is ENERGYRODS 2.0 and what does it do?

ENERGYRODS 2.0 are glassfibre-infused rods integrated into the shoe's structure. They limit energy loss underfoot and provide a propulsive feel, helping you run more efficiently and faster.

How does the cushioning system work in these shoes?

The Adizero Boston 12 features a dual-layer midsole with ultralight LIGHTSTRIKE PRO cushioning combined with a durable version of LIGHTSTRIKE 2.0 EVA. This blend offers both energetic responsiveness and long-lasting comfort.

Is the outsole durable and does it provide good grip?

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.

Are these shoes considered fast for training?

Yes, the Adizero Boston 12 brings a 'raceday feel' to training, indicating their design is geared towards speed and efficiency in your runs.

What kind of fit can I expect?

The shoes feature a traditional lace-up design, allowing for a secure and customizable fit to keep your foot locked down 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.
