Product Information

Full details

The adidas Adizero Boston 12 is engineered for mid- to long-distance runners who prioritize speed and a race-day feel during tempo training and competitions. Its key innovation lies in the propulsive ENERGYRODS 2.0 combined with ultra-light yet durable LIGHTSTRIKE PRO and LIGHTSTRIKE 2.0 cushioning. While delivering exceptional performance, its focused design means it's optimized for faster efforts rather than plush, everyday comfort.

FAQs

What type of runner are the Adizero Boston 12 shoes best for?

These shoes are best suited for neutral runners focused on mid- to long-distance tempo training and competitions. They offer a fast, propulsive feel for those looking to push their pace.

How do the ENERGYRODS 2.0 enhance performance?

The ENERGYRODS 2.0 are glass-fibre infused rods integrated into the midsole. They provide a propulsive feel, guide natural transitions, and help limit energy loss, contributing to a more efficient and faster run.

Can I use these shoes for everyday easy runs?

While durable enough for regular training, the Adizero Boston 12 is designed with a 'race-day feel' for faster-paced efforts. For very slow or recovery runs, you might find a shoe with more traditional plush cushioning to be more comfortable.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of these shoes?

The Adizero Boston 12 has a 7 mm heel-to-toe drop, with a heel height of 38 mm and a forefoot height of 31 mm.

How should I clean my Adizero Boston 12 shoes?

Gently wipe the engineered mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Are these shoes made with recycled materials?

Yes, the upper of the Adizero Boston 12 is made with at least 50% recycled materials, aligning with adidas' commitment to reducing plastic waste.

What kind of traction can I expect from the outsole?

The Continental™ Rubber outsole provides optimal grip and traction. It offers an improved 30% grip on both dry and wet surfaces, giving you confidence and stability in various running conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff or aggressive during first few runs.

The glass-fibre infused ENERGYRODS 2.0 provide a propulsive feel that may require a few runs to adapt to. Gradually increase your wear time during training sessions to allow your feet and running mechanics to adjust.

Upper feels too tight or loose in specific areas.

The engineered mesh provides targeted support. Adjust the lacing system to optimize midfoot lockdown or forefoot flexibility. Experiment with different lacing patterns or sock thicknesses to find your most comfortable fit.

Laces come undone frequently during runs.

Ensure you are tying your laces securely, possibly using a double knot for added security. Check that the laces are evenly tightened across the foot to prevent uneven pressure points.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces over time.

Regularly clean the Continental™ Rubber outsole to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be compromising traction. Inspect the treads for excessive wear, which could indicate it's time for new shoes if performance significantly degrades.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Your Adizero Boston 12 shoes come ready to wear. Simply lace them up using the standard closure. The engineered mesh is designed to offer a standard fit, providing both midfoot lockdown and forefoot flexibility. Adjust the lacing to achieve your preferred level of snugness.

Compatibility:

  • Runner Type: Best suited for neutral runners.
  • Weight: Ideal for runners weighing less than 85 kg.
  • Usage: Designed for regular training and competitions, primarily on road surfaces.

Care:

Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the engineered mesh upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the material.
  2. Outsole: Clean the Continental™ Rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that may affect traction. A soft brush can be used if needed.
  3. Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
  4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments.
