FAQs
What type of running are the Adizero Boston 12 shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for mid- to long-distance tempo training runs and can also perform well on race day, offering a propulsive and efficient ride.
What is ENERGYRODS 2.0 and how does it benefit my run?
ENERGYRODS 2.0 are glass-fibre infused rods located in the midsole. They are designed to limit energy loss during your stride, providing a more propulsive and efficient feel, helping you maintain speed over longer distances.
What is the difference between Lightstrike Pro and Lightstrike 2.0 cushioning?
Lightstrike Pro is adidas's lightest and most responsive foam, providing high energy return. Lightstrike 2.0 is a durable EVA foam. The combination in the Boston 12 offers a balance of lightweight responsiveness and long-lasting durability for training.
Are these shoes durable enough for daily training?
Yes, the Adizero Boston 12 is built with durability in mind. The layered Lightstrike cushioning and robust construction make them suitable for consistent daily training, especially for tempo work.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, the upper of the Adizero Boston 12 is crafted from at least 50% recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.
How should I clean my Adizero Boston 12 shoes?
Clean them gently with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth, then allow them to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid machine washing or using direct heat.
What is the fit like for the Adizero Boston 12?
The engineered mesh upper provides a breathable and supportive fit, designed to offer targeted midfoot lockdown and forefoot flexibility. It generally runs true to size for adult male feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially
The Adizero Boston 12 may require a short break-in period, especially due to the ENERGYRODS. Wear them for a few shorter, easier runs to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape and running style.
Losing the 'propulsive' feel during runs
Ensure your lacing provides a secure, but not overly tight, fit. Also, check your running form; efficient use of the shoe's technology relies on good biomechanics. The shoes also have a lifespan; consider your mileage if they are older.
Foot feels too warm or sweaty
The engineered mesh is designed for breathability, but ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks that wick away moisture. After runs, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry completely.
Squeaking sound while running
This can sometimes be caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning both the insoles and the shoe's interior, and then reinserting them. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help.
Excessive wear on specific areas of the outsole
While durable, all running shoes show wear. Uneven wear can indicate a need to check your running form or consider shoe rotation to extend the life of your footwear. If wear is very rapid, consult a running specialist.

Care
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Adizero Boston 12 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap or detergent mixed with water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat, as this can damage materials like the Lightstrike foam and engineered mesh.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Material: The upper is made of polyester, which is durable but still benefits from gentle care. Regularly remove insoles to air out and prevent odor buildup.
