FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Adizero Boston 13?
The Adizero Boston 13 is designed for race training, uptempo daily training, and race day, offering enhanced speed, comfort, and traction.
What is the difference between Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro in this shoe?
Lightstrike is a lightweight cushioning material, while Lightstrike Pro is a softer, more responsive foam. The Boston 13 uses a combination, with an increased amount of Lightstrike Pro directly underfoot for a responsive feel, layered with Lightstrike for a firmer base.
How do ENERGYRODS contribute to performance?
ENERGYRODS are designed to limit energy loss during the stride, promoting a more efficient and propulsive toe-off.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, they are suitable for marathon training and racing, especially for runners who prefer a responsive and efficient feel over maximum plushness.
What is the weight of the Adizero Boston 13?
The Adizero Boston 13 weighs 255g (based on a men's size 8.5).
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel offset is 6mm.
How should I clean my Adizero Boston 13 trainers?
Clean them with a damp cloth or soft brush and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do these shoes offer good grip?
Yes, they feature a targeted Lighttraction rubber outsole complemented by durable Continental rubber for excellent grip and traction.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that the size is correct. Break them in gradually with shorter runs. Check for any internal seams or debris that might be causing irritation.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
While the Continental rubber offers excellent grip, all rubber compounds can have reduced traction on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For challenging conditions, consider running at a more conservative pace.
Cushioning feels too firm.
The Adizero Boston 13 features a firmer, more responsive foam setup. If you prefer softer cushioning, consider longer break-in periods or explore models with a higher percentage of Lightstrike Pro closer to the foot. The firmness is designed for efficiency and responsiveness.
