FAQs

What type of running is the Adizero Boston 12 best suited for?

These shoes are best for mid- to long-distance running, particularly for tempo training, speed workouts, and efforts where you desire a fast, race-day feel during your training.

What are ENERGYRODS 2.0 and how do they benefit my run?

ENERGYRODS 2.0 are glass-fibre infused rods embedded in the midsole. They are designed to provide a propulsive feel and reduce energy loss, effectively enhancing your forward momentum and efficiency with each stride.

How do Lightstrike Pro and Lightstrike 2.0 EVA cushioning work together?

Lightstrike Pro offers super light, responsive cushioning for a snappy feel, while Lightstrike 2.0 EVA provides durable, slightly firmer cushioning. Together, they create a balanced ride that is both protective for longer distances and responsive for speed.

Is the engineered mesh upper breathable?

Yes, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during extended runs. It also provides targeted support and lockdown.

Can I use these shoes for casual wear or walking?

While comfortable, the Adizero Boston 12 shoes are specifically engineered for performance running, with features optimized for speed, propulsion, and energy return. For casual wear, other adidas models might offer a different type of comfort.

How should I clean my Adizero Boston 12 running shoes?

To clean, gently wipe any dirt from the upper and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and construction. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat.

What kind of traction does the Continental™ rubber outsole provide?

The Continental™ rubber outsole offers exceptional grip and durability in both dry and wet conditions, providing reliable traction on various road surfaces to help you feel secure and confident.

Troubleshooting

Experiencing rubbing or blisters during runs.

Ensure your shoes are the correct size and laced properly for a secure fit without being too tight. Use moisture-wicking running socks. Allow a brief 'break-in' period for new shoes.

Shoes feel less responsive or 'flat' over time.

Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with use. Monitor your mileage; most performance shoes require replacement between 300-500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. This indicates the cushioning might be worn out.

Reduced grip on wet or uneven surfaces.

While the Continental™ rubber outsole provides excellent traction, no shoe offers perfect grip in all extreme conditions. Adjust your pace and stride to suit the surface and weather. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from embedded debris.
