FAQs
Are the Adizero Boston 13 suitable for marathon racing?
Yes, the Adizero Boston 13 is designed for both training and racing, including marathons (0-42km). Its lightweight cushioning and energy return are optimized for performance over long distances.
What type of support do these shoes offer?
The Adizero Boston 13 offers neutral support, making it ideal for runners with a neutral gait or those who don't require significant stability correction.
How do I clean my Adizero Boston 13 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for more thorough cleaning. Always air dry at room temperature and avoid machine washing or heat.
What is the main difference between Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro?
Lightstrike Pro is Adidas's highest performing, super-light cushioning technology offering maximum energy return. Lightstrike is also lightweight and responsive, and the combination in the Boston 13 creates a dynamic and cushioned ride.
Can these shoes be used for trail running?
The Adizero Boston 13 is primarily designed for road running. While the Continental™ rubber offers good grip, they are not optimized for the specific demands of technical trail terrain.
How does the ENERGYRODS 2.0 system enhance my run?
The ENERGYRODS 2.0 system, made of glass fibre, provides a propulsive feel and aids in seamless heel-to-toe transitions, contributing to a more efficient and effortless running experience.
What is the purpose of the Adizero Slinglaunch heel construction?
This construction is designed to securely hold the heel in place, ensuring a locked-in fit and preventing slippage during runs, which enhances stability and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the midfoot is securely locked down without excessive pressure. Try lacing techniques like a runner's loop if heel slippage is an issue. If discomfort persists, the fit might not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the Continental™ rubber provides excellent grip, ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris. Regularly clean the outsole. For extreme conditions, consider alternative footwear if excessive slipping is a consistent concern.
Midsole feels too firm or not responsive enough
Allow the shoes to break in over several runs. The Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro cushioning may feel firmer initially but will adapt to your stride. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (roads) as intended.
Heel feels loose or causes blisters
Experiment with different lacing techniques, such as using the extra eyelet for a locked-in heel fit. Ensure your socks are providing adequate cushioning and are well-fitting. The Adizero Slinglaunch heel is designed for security, so a loose feel might indicate incorrect lacing or sizing.

Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your Adizero Boston 13 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can warp the shoe.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
- Rotation: For optimal performance and longevity, consider rotating your running shoes, allowing them to fully recover and dry between runs.
