Product Information
Full details
The adidas Adizero Boston 13 is a high-performance trainer engineered for runners seeking speed, responsiveness, and versatility during intense training sessions. Designed for neutral runners who prioritize energy return and a lightweight feel, these trainers excel on varied road surfaces. One important caveat is that while the shoes provide exceptional propulsion through integrated technology, they are specifically tuned for performance-focused runs rather than casual, all-day walking.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Adizero Boston 13 is specifically designed for high-mileage training sessions and offers the support and energy return needed for long road runs.
Is the fit true to size?
The Adizero Boston 13 follows a standard athletic fit. If you prefer a bit of extra room for toe splay during long runs, some users prefer sizing up by a half size.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are road-specific trainers. While the Continental rubber offers good traction, the mesh upper and outsole are not designed for the rigors or uneven terrain of technical trails.
How long should these shoes last?
Depending on running style and surface, the foam and outsole generally maintain performance characteristics for 400-600 kilometres.
Do these have a rock plate?
They feature ENERGYRODS, which serve a similar purpose by providing structural stiffness and snappy propulsion, though they are not traditional rock plates.
Are they waterproof?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for maximum airflow and will not keep your feet dry in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage inside the shoe
Adjust the laces using the runner's loop (heel lock) method to increase tension around the ankle and midfoot.
Foam feeling firm in cold weather
Midsole foam compounds can stiffen in freezing temperatures; perform a short warm-up jog to allow the material to flex and reach optimal temperature.
Upper mesh collecting debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt from the mesh weave after runs to maintain breathability.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly responsive energy return from midsole foams
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue
- Excellent grip on varied road surfaces due to Continental Rubber
- Secure lockdown keeps the foot stable at high speeds
Cons
- Not intended for casual, slow-paced walking
- Performance-oriented fit may feel narrow for some users
- Higher stack height may require an adjustment period for some runners
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adizero Boston 13s last, follow these guidelines for maintenance and care:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the lace closure is snug but not constricting to take advantage of the midfoot lockdown.
- Break-in: While they perform well out of the box, a short 5-10km run is recommended to allow the upper to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy or dirty runs, wipe down the outsole with a soft brush and warm water. For the upper, use a damp cloth to spot clean; avoid submerging in water.
- Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam technology.
