FAQs
What kind of runs are the Adizero Boston 12 best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for road races, tempo runs, and high-intensity training sessions on asphalt or track surfaces.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
We recommend referring to the adidas official sizing chart. It's often helpful to measure your foot and leave about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Trying them on, ideally after a run when your feet are slightly swollen, can also help.
Can I use these shoes for daily training or walking?
While they can be used for daily training, they are specifically designed for performance and speed. For high-mileage daily training, you might prefer a shoe with more overall cushioning. They are not typically recommended for casual walking due to their specialized design.
What is the benefit of ENERGY RODS 2.0?
ENERGY RODS 2.0 are designed to mimic the bone structure of the foot, providing a firm yet flexible platform that enhances energy return. This feature helps create a propulsive feel, driving you forward more efficiently with each stride.
Are these shoes durable?
The Adizero Boston 12 are built with durable materials suitable for their intended use as performance road running shoes. Like all running shoes, their lifespan will depend on usage, mileage, and individual running style, typically lasting between 300-500 miles.
Are these shoes suitable for all foot types?
The engineered mesh upper offers an adaptive fit. However, as a performance-oriented shoe, the fit might be snug. Individuals with very wide feet may need to try them on to ensure comfort, as specific width options are not generally offered for this model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose during a run
Adjust your lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from the bottom up. For a tighter fit, try an extra eyelet at the top. For less pressure, skip an eyelet or try parallel lacing.
Foot slippage inside the shoe
Make sure your laces are properly secured. Consider trying different running socks that offer better grip or a slightly thicker weave. Check your shoe size to ensure it's not too large.
Unpleasant odor develops after runs
Always air out your shoes immediately after each run. Remove insoles to allow them to dry separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time
Running shoe cushioning naturally breaks down after extensive use. This typically happens between 300-500 miles, depending on individual use and body weight. If responsiveness significantly decreases, it may be time to consider a new pair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
To get the most out of your Adizero Boston 12 shoes, ensure a proper lace-up. Start with the laces loose and progressively tighten them from the toes upwards, securing a snug fit without excessive pressure. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what provides the best lockdown for your foot shape and running style.
Compatibility:
These shoes are designed for road surfaces. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. For optimal performance, pair them with technical running socks that wick moisture away from your feet.
Care:
To prolong the life and performance of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Hand wash gently using a mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can warp materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in a hot car or damp environments.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating these shoes with other training shoes to allow the cushioning to fully decompress and extend their lifespan.
