FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for daily recovery runs?
While the Boston 13 is comfortable, it is primarily designed for speed and tempo training. For slow recovery days, some runners prefer a shoe with more stack height.
How long will the midsole foam last?
Under normal training conditions, you can expect the performance characteristics to remain consistent for approximately 400 to 600 kilometres.
Does this shoe feature a carbon plate?
The Adizero Boston 13 utilizes ENERGYRODS technology, which provides a similar snappy, propulsive feel to carbon plates while allowing for more natural foot flexion.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are designed for roads and tracks. While they offer good traction, they lack the rock plates and aggressive lugs necessary for technical trails.
Should I size up?
The fit is standard, but if you prefer extra room for long-distance swelling or wear thick orthotics, some users prefer a half-size increase.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the 'window' lacing method, to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Insole sliding during runs
Remove the insole, ensure the interior of the shoe is clean and dry, and reseat it. If the issue persists, ensure you are wearing properly sized technical socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Adizero Boston 13, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Fit Check: These are performance trainers; ensure your standard UK size allows for a thumb's width of space at the toe to prevent nail discomfort during downhill sections.
- Lace Adjustment: Use the standard lace closure system to adjust tension specifically around the midfoot; the gusseted tongue and upper are designed to lock your foot in place.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using lukewarm water and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam and adhesives.
- Air Drying: Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, which can cause the material to stiffen or discolour.
- Rotation: To extend the life of the cushioning, rotate these with another pair of running shoes to allow the foam to fully decompress between uses.
