FAQs
What kind of runs are these shoes best for?
The Adizero Boston 12 shoes are ideally suited for road races, tempo runs, and high-intensity training sessions due to their responsive cushioning and energy return features.
How do the ENERGY RODS 2.0 work?
The ENERGY RODS 2.0 are integrated structures within the sole designed to mimic the bone structure of the foot, working to reduce energy loss and provide a snappy, propulsive feel for enhanced energy return with each stride.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday training?
While excellent for dedicated training, they are specifically designed for faster-paced road running. For very easy or recovery runs, you might prefer a shoe with more plush cushioning, though the Boston 12 can certainly handle varied training.
How should I clean my Adizero Boston 12 shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap with cold water and a soft cloth or brush. Always air dry them completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What is the fit like for these shoes?
They feature a lightweight engineered mesh upper that provides an adaptive and breathable fit, designed to move naturally with your foot. The lace-up design allows for a secure and customized feel.
When should I consider replacing my running shoes?
Most running shoes need replacing every 300-500 miles, or roughly every 4-6 months for regular runners. Signs include reduced cushioning, general discomfort, or visible wear on the outsole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust your lacing technique. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned across your foot. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size and consider trying on a half size up or down.
Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs
Re-tie your laces, ensuring they are snug. Try a 'heel-lock' or 'runner's knot' lacing technique to secure your heel more effectively. Also, check that your running socks aren't too thin or slick.
Lack of expected responsiveness or cushioning over time
Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses over time. This is often a sign that the shoes are reaching the end of their effective lifespan (typically 300-500 miles, depending on individual factors). Consider replacing them.

Setup
Getting started with your Adizero Boston 12 shoes is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Utilize the lace-up design to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you have specific foot shape needs, such as a runner's knot for heel lock.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for a short walk or light jog to assess the fit and feel before a full running session.
Compatibility
These shoes are primarily designed for road running. They are compatible with various road conditions, including asphalt, concrete, and track surfaces. While suitable for treadmill use, their optimal performance is found outdoors on the road. They are intended for adult female runners.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your shoes:
- Cleaning: After runs, especially in dirty conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
- Odour Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of running shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and recover its cushioning between uses.
