FAQs

Are the adidas Adizero Boston 12 suitable for everyday training?

Yes, the Adizero Boston 12 are built for mid- to long-distance training and speed work, offering a blend of durability and performance that makes them suitable for regular use within your training rotation.

What is the main benefit of ENERGYRODS 2.0 in these shoes?

The glass-fibre infused ENERGYRODS 2.0 are designed to limit energy loss underfoot, providing a propulsive and efficient feel that aids in a smoother and faster heel-to-toe transition during your runs.

How should I clean my Adizero Boston 12 shoes?

Gently clean the engineered mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the outsole, use a soft brush to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing.

What is the heel drop and stack height of these shoes?

The adidas Adizero Boston 12 has a 7mm heel drop, with a stack height of 38mm in the heel and 31mm in the forefoot.

Are these shoes a good choice for beginners?

While performance-oriented, beginners can use the Adizero Boston 12 for tempo runs and shorter distances. However, ensure they align with your running style and comfort preferences, as they are designed for a more dynamic ride than a traditional everyday trainer.

Do these shoes provide good grip in wet conditions?

Yes, the Continental™ Rubber outsole is specifically designed to offer excellent grip and traction on both dry and wet road surfaces, providing reliable performance in varied weather conditions.

Are the adidas Adizero Boston 12 made with recycled materials?

Yes, as part of adidas's commitment to reducing plastic waste, the upper of the Adizero Boston 12 is composed of at least 50% recycled materials.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel cramped or uncomfortable during runs.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try adjusting your lacing technique to relieve pressure points, such as skipping an eyelet. Wear appropriate running socks, and allow for a short break-in period if they are new.

I'm not experiencing the expected 'propulsive' feel from the shoes.

The propulsive feel from the ENERGYRODS 2.0 is more noticeable at faster paces. Ensure you are using the shoes for tempo runs or speed work. Also, consistent running form can maximize the benefit of the shoe's design. If you're new to plated shoes, it may take a few runs to adapt.

The grip feels less effective on certain wet surfaces.

While the Continental™ Rubber outsole offers excellent traction, extreme conditions (e.g., icy patches, very slick wet leaves) can still challenge any shoe's grip. Exercise caution and adjust your pace in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of embedded debris.

The cushioning seems to be 'flat' or less responsive over time.

Running shoes have a finite lifespan. Reduced responsiveness often indicates the foam is compressed and losing its rebound. Check your mileage; if you're approaching 300-500 miles, it might be time to consider a replacement pair.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional Energy Return: The combination of ENERGYRODS 2.0 and Lightstrike Pro foam delivers a highly responsive and propulsive ride.
Durable for Training: Built to withstand the demands of regular mid- to long-distance training and speed sessions.
Superior Traction: Continental™ Rubber outsole provides reliable grip on various road surfaces, wet or dry.
Lightweight Design: Engineered for speed without compromising on cushioning, making it ideal for faster paces.
Breathable and Supportive Upper: The engineered mesh ensures comfort and a secure fit during intense efforts.
Eco-Conscious Materials: Incorporates recycled content in the upper, contributing to sustainability.

Cons

Performance-Oriented Feel: The shoe's focus on propulsion and speed may feel less plush or soft than dedicated maximalist cushioning shoes for easy runs.
Specific Drop Preference: The 7mm heel drop might not suit all runners, especially those preferring a higher or lower drop.
Adaptation Period: Runners new to shoes with internal plates or rods may require a few runs to adapt to the propulsive feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Lacing: Utilize the standard lacing system to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not overtightened to prevent pressure points. Adjust as needed during your initial runs.
Initial Wear: Like most running shoes, a brief break-in period may enhance comfort. Wear them for a few shorter runs before tackling longer distances or high-intensity workouts.

Compatibility

Runner Type: Best suited for runners with a neutral pronation who do not require extensive stability features.
Running Surface: Optimized for road running and paved surfaces.
Activity: Ideal for mid- to long-distance training, tempo runs, and speed workouts. It can also serve as a versatile option for some races.
Weight Range: Recommended for runners generally weighing less than 85 kg, allowing the cushioning and propulsion systems to perform optimally.
Gender: This specific model is a Women's fit (UK 4).

Care

Cleaning: To clean the mesh upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For the outsole, use a brush to remove dirt and debris. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid compressing them for prolonged periods to maintain the integrity of the cushioning.
Lifespan: Running shoes typically have a lifespan of 300-500 miles. Monitor wear patterns on the outsole and changes in cushioning feel to determine when they need replacing. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maximize their lifespan.
