While comfortable, these are performance-oriented racing shoes. They are best utilized for their intended purpose of running and training to maximize their benefits and lifespan.

How should I clean my Adizero Boston 13 trainers?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or immersing the shoes in water. Allow them to air dry naturally.

Troubleshooting

Slight discomfort during initial runs

This is common with performance footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase duration to allow them to break in and conform to your foot.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the Continental™ Rubber provides excellent grip, extreme wet conditions may still present challenges. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris for optimal traction.

Upper feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure but not constricting fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consult sizing charts if unsure.

Cushioning feels too firm

The Lightstrike Pro cushioning is designed for responsiveness. The feel may differ from highly cushioned everyday trainers. Ensure the shoe is fully broken in for a true assessment of its comfort.
