FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday training?
Yes, the Adizero Boston 12 are designed for both mid- to long-distance training and racing. Their durable Lightstrike 2.0 EVA cushioning makes them capable of handling consistent mileage.
What is the benefit of ENERGYRODS 2.0?
ENERGYRODS 2.0 are glass-fibre infused rods that are built into the midsole. They provide a propulsive, spring-like feel that helps to reduce energy loss during your stride, promoting a more efficient and faster run.
How do I choose the correct size?
We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Generally, leave about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your foot should feel secure, not cramped or slipping.
Can I use these for short, fast runs or track workouts?
While optimized for mid- to long distances, their lightweight and propulsive design can certainly handle faster efforts and track workouts. The engineered mesh provides good lockdown for quick movements.
Are these shoes made with sustainable materials?
Yes, the adidas Adizero Boston 12 shoes are made in part with recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to reducing environmental impact.
How should I clean my Adizero Boston 12 shoes?
To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth. Do not machine wash or dry. Air dry them away from direct heat.
What type of runner are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for runners looking for a versatile option for mid- to long-distance training, tempo runs, and racing. They suit those who appreciate a responsive, propulsive, and durable ride.
Is there a break-in period for these shoes?
Like many performance running shoes, a short break-in period of a few runs is advisable. This allows the shoes to conform to your foot shape and for you to adapt to their feel and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust lacing tension. Start by loosening laces completely, then re-lace from the bottom, applying even tension as you go. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you have specific pressure points.
Feet feel too warm during runs
The engineered mesh is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists, consider running in cooler parts of the day or hydrating more frequently.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Check for any bunched-up socks or debris inside the shoe. Try different running socks, as some materials or seams can cause irritation. Give your feet time to adapt to new shoes.
Shoes feel less responsive over time
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. Reduced responsiveness often indicates that the cushioning materials are compressing. Consider if it's time for a new pair. Proper care and storage can extend their life.
