FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Adizero Boston 12 generally offers a standard fit. While they are designed for performance, some runners with slightly wider feet find them comfortable after a break-in period. However, if you have significantly wide feet, it's always best to try them on first or look for models specifically offered in wider widths.
What is the difference between Adizero Boston and other Adizero models?
The Adizero line focuses on lightweight performance. The Boston models are typically designed as versatile trainers that bridge the gap between daily training and race-day performance, offering a balance of responsiveness and cushioning suitable for a wide range of runs.
How long do these trainers typically last?
The lifespan of running shoes varies based on usage, running surface, and individual biomechanics. For the Adizero Boston 12, a general guideline is between 300-500 miles (500-800 kilometers) of running before the cushioning and support significantly degrade.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running and track use. The outsole pattern provides good grip on hard surfaces, but it may not offer sufficient traction or protection for uneven, technical trail terrain.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Moisture-wicking running socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool are recommended. These help manage sweat and reduce the risk of blisters, complementing the breathable upper of the trainers.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The Adizero Boston 12 provides moderate arch support inherent in its design and cushioning. However, runners requiring significant or specific arch support might benefit from using custom or specialized insoles.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or the insole. Try removing the insole and ensuring both the insole and the inside of the shoe are completely dry. If the noise persists, it may be a minor manufacturing anomaly.
Foot discomfort or blisters
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Try wearing them with appropriate running socks. Break them in gradually with shorter runs before attempting longer distances. Adjust lacing to find a secure but not overly tight fit.
Traction feels reduced
Check the outsole for embedded debris like small stones or mud. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water. If the outsole shows significant wear, it may be time to consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Designed for road running and track use. Not recommended for highly technical trails due to outsole pattern and support.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the shoe.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
