We recommend wiping the shoes clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry them naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing.

The Adizero Boston 12 features a performance-oriented design with ENERGYRODS that provide tuned stiffness. Allow a few short runs for your feet to adapt to the shoe's feel. Ensure proper lacing to avoid over-tightening or pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a running specialist for gait analysis.

Ensure you are tying a secure knot, preferably a double knot. You can also try different lacing techniques, such as a surgeon's knot, for added security. Check if the laces are worn and need replacement.

The shoe features a lightweight mesh upper for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking materials (not cotton). Allow shoes to air out completely after each run to prevent moisture buildup.

Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses and loses responsiveness over mileage. The typical lifespan for performance running shoes is 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style and weight. If you've reached this mileage, it might be time to consider replacing your shoes.

Allow your shoes to thoroughly air dry after every run. Remove insoles to facilitate drying. You can use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Avoid storing shoes in damp, enclosed spaces.
