FAQs
Are the Adizero Boston 12 suitable for beginners?
While suitable for all levels, their performance-oriented design might be best appreciated by runners looking to improve their speed and efficiency. Beginners seeking maximum cushioning might prefer a different model.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If the tightness persists, consider if this is the correct size or width for your foot. Trying them on with your preferred running socks is recommended.
Soles are slippery on wet surfaces
These trainers are optimized for dry road conditions. For wet surfaces, exercise caution and consider a shoe with a more aggressive tread pattern if traction is a primary concern.
Reduced responsiveness over time
This can be a sign of significant wear. Check the midsole for compression and the outsole for worn tread. Consider replacing the shoes after extensive use (typically 300-500 miles).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Ideal for road running. Compatible with most running socks. Not designed for trail running or excessive off-road use.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can warp the shape.
