FAQs

What type of runner are the Adizero Boston 12 shoes designed for?

These shoes are specifically engineered for mid- to long-distance runners who prioritize responsiveness, energy return, and a propulsive feel for both training and race day.

What is Lightstrike Pro cushioning?

Lightstrike Pro is an ultra-lightweight foam technology used in the midsole to provide highly responsive, dynamic cushioning that absorbs impact and returns energy efficiently with each stride.

How do the ENERGYRODS 2.0 benefit my running?

The glass-fibre-infused ENERGYRODS 2.0 are designed to mimic the metatarsal bones of the foot. They provide stiffness and a propulsive feel, limiting energy loss and helping you maintain momentum for a more efficient and faster run.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, the Adizero Boston 12 are high-performance running shoes optimized for specific training and racing conditions. Their specialized design and firmer, propulsive feel might be more than needed for casual everyday use.

How durable are the Adizero Boston 12 shoes?

They feature a new version of durable Lightstrike 2.0 EVA in the midsole and a robust Continental™ rubber outsole, both contributing to the shoe's longevity and ability to withstand high mileage training.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Follow the care instructions for gentle hand cleaning and air drying.

What kind of traction can I expect from the outsole?

The lightweight Continental™ rubber outsole provides exceptional grip and traction on various surfaces, including both wet and dry roads, giving you confidence and stability during your runs.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable.

The Adizero Boston 12 features a performance-oriented, propulsive feel. Allow for a break-in period of a few runs. Ensure you have the correct size; an improper fit can lead to discomfort. Try adjusting your lacing pattern.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

While the Continental™ rubber outsole provides excellent grip, extreme conditions can still reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. Adjust your stride and pace in very wet or slippery conditions.

Foot overheating during runs.

The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking material. If issues persist, consider whether the shoe is suitable for extremely hot and humid climates if not already optimized for them.

Shoes are making squeaking noises.

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or the insole. Try removing the insole and dusting the inside of the shoe and the bottom of the insole with baby powder or cornstarch. Ensure laces are tied correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Responsive & Dynamic Ride: Lightstrike Pro cushioning delivers a highly responsive feel, perfect for picking up the pace.
  • Propulsive Energy Return: ENERGYRODS 2.0 provide a unique, forward-driving sensation, helping to reduce fatigue.
  • Excellent Traction: The Continental™ rubber outsole ensures reliable grip in diverse conditions.
  • Breathable Comfort: Engineered mesh upper keeps feet cool and comfortable, especially on long runs.
  • Durability: Lightstrike 2.0 EVA contributes to the shoe's longevity, supporting consistent training.

Cons

    Setup, Compatibility & Care

    Setup

    Getting started with your Adizero Boston 12 shoes is simple:

    1. Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly, allowing for natural foot expansion during your run. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points.
    2. Break-In: While responsive, give your feet a few shorter runs to adjust to the shoe's fit and the propulsive feel of the ENERGYRODS 2.0 before tackling long distances.

    Compatibility

    • Runner Profile: Best suited for mid- to long-distance runners, from dedicated trainers to those preparing for marathons or half-marathons. They perform well for neutral pronation.
    • Foot Type: The engineered mesh upper adapts well to various foot shapes, but ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit.

    Care Instructions

    To extend the life and maintain the performance of your shoes:

    1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
    2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
    3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider removing insoles and stuffing with newspaper to help them retain shape and absorb moisture after very wet runs.
    4. Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside to combat odors, allowing them to air out between uses.
