FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Adizero Boston 13 trainers can be used by beginners, particularly those who have a neutral running gait and are training for distances beyond 5k. However, they are performance-oriented, so runners may find lighter, more cushioned shoes better for very short runs or walking.
What is the difference between Lightstrike Pro and Lightstrike 2.0 foam?
Lightstrike Pro is designed for a softer, more responsive cushioning experience, while Lightstrike 2.0 offers a firmer and more energetic feel. The combination aims to provide a balance of comfort on impact and propulsion during toe-off.
Can I use these shoes for marathon racing?
Yes, the Adizero Boston series is well-regarded for its use in marathons. The lightweight design, propulsive feel from ENERGYRODS 2.0, and responsive cushioning make them suitable for competitive marathon running.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by adidas or your retailer. Measure your foot length in centimeters and compare it to the UK sizing chart. It is often recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
What does 'neutral support' mean?
Neutral support means the shoe is designed for runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward (pronate) or outward (supinate) upon landing. The shoe offers balanced cushioning and structure without specific features to correct pronation.
How durable is the Continental rubber outsole?
Continental rubber is known for its exceptional durability and grip. It is designed to withstand significant mileage and provide consistent traction in various weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured or lock-style lace if this persists.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern to distribute pressure differently. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot measurement.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
While the Continental rubber offers good grip, extreme wet conditions can still reduce traction. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that might impede grip.
Discomfort in the heel.
Ensure the Adizero Slinglaunch heel construction is properly engaged by lacing the shoe snugly but not excessively tight around the ankle. Break-in period may be required.

Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and mud from the upper and outsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
