FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Boston 12 is engineered for long-distance training and can perform well as a marathon shoe for those who prefer a reliable, cushioned trainer.
Can I use these if I have overpronation?
The Adizero Boston 12 is specifically built for neutral runners. If you have significant overpronation, you may need a stability-focused shoe.
How should I clean my Adizero trainers?
Hand wash with mild soap and a soft brush, then let them air dry. Do not machine wash.
Are these unisex?
Yes, this specific model is designed as a unisex trainer.
Do I need to break these in?
While they feel great out of the box, it is recommended to do a few short runs to allow the foam and upper materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Are these shoes good for trail running?
These are designed for road and track. They do not have the lug depth or protection required for technical trail running.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try a window lacing technique to relieve tension on the high-pressure points across the bridge.
Dirt buildup on the outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear debris from the tread to maintain optimal traction.
Midsole feeling less responsive
Ensure the shoe is fully dry before use; foam performance can be temporarily affected by moisture retention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Adizero Boston 12, start by ensuring a secure fit by adjusting the lacing pattern to match your arch height. These trainers are compatible with standard orthotic inserts if you require custom arch support. For care, avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can degrade the midsole adhesive and foam properties. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain the integrity of the materials.
