Product Information
Full details
The Adidas Adizero Boston 12 is a premier high-performance trainer engineered for neutral runners who prioritize energy return and durability during daily training or high-mileage runs. This sleek, black-and-white footwear option delivers a responsive ride suitable for both tempo sessions and long-distance endurance efforts, though runners preferring ultra-plush, maximalist comfort may find the firm, performance-oriented tuning of this model a distinct change of pace.

FAQs
Is the Adidas Adizero Boston 12 suitable for flat feet?
This shoe is designed for neutral runners. If you require significant stability or arch support, you may want to consult a podiatrist or use a custom orthotic insert.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the breathable upper is designed for airflow and will allow moisture to pass through; these are best suited for dry weather conditions.
Can I use these for track racing?
While the Boston 12 is a high-performance trainer, it is primarily optimized for road running and daily training sessions rather than spike-reliant track racing.
Should I size up from my usual casual shoe size?
Most runners find the Adizero Boston 12 to be true to size, but since feet can swell during long runs, some prefer a half-size larger than their everyday lifestyle footwear.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
Generally, performance trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
The Adizero series often requires a brief break-in period of 20-30 miles for the foam to settle and reach its full flexibility.
Heel slipping while running
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better lock the heel into the counter for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas Adizero Boston 12 trainers remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the lacing is adjusted securely but not overly tight to prevent circulation issues. The shoe is designed to provide a snug, performance-fit.
- Break-in: Wear them for short, easy runs during the first week to allow the foam and upper materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after your run. If they get muddy, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry only in a cool, shaded area. Never place these trainers in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can degrade the cushioning foam.
