FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for beginners?

Yes, the Adizero Boston 12 can be suitable for beginners who are looking for a versatile trainer for daily runs and occasional faster workouts. However, runners new to the sport might benefit from a more cushioned shoe initially, depending on their biomechanics.

What is the main difference between the Adizero Boston 12 and other Adizero models?

The Adizero Boston 12 typically offers a balance between cushioning and a firm, propulsive ride, making it versatile for training and racing. Other Adizero models might be more specialized, such as being lighter for pure racing or offering more aggressive cushioning.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not restrictive.

Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?

Yes, the removable insole allows space for most standard orthotics. Ensure the orthotic fits comfortably within the shoe's volume.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

With regular use on road surfaces and proper care, most running shoes like the Adizero Boston 12 typically last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km). This can vary based on running style, weight, and surface.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable mesh uppers for ventilation, which means they will allow water in if submerged.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot. If still too tight, consider if a different size or width is needed, or if the shoes require a break-in period.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for optimal performance on dry to slightly damp roads. For extremely wet conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that could affect traction.

Discomfort after first few runs

Allow the shoes a break-in period of 15-30 miles. Ensure laces are tied correctly for your foot shape to prevent pressure points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return for a propulsive feel.
  • Comfortable cushioning suitable for longer distances.
  • Durable construction for extended use.
  • Good traction on various road surfaces.
  • Breathable materials keep feet cool.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Fit can be snug, consider sizing up if you prefer more room.
  • Not ideal for trail running due to outsole design.
  • The cushioning might feel firm for runners preferring a softer ride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply put them on and adjust the laces for a secure and comfortable fit.

Compatibility: The Adizero Boston 12 is designed for road running and is compatible with most running surfaces. They are not recommended for trail running due to their tread pattern.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
