Customer Reviews adidas adiZero Boston 12 Running Shoes

This shoe fits well and look nice. The cushioning was a little underwhelming in comparison to EVO SL. I thought the carbon infused Energyrods would make up for it. Still a solid shoe for 5 to 6 mile runs. Any further is a little rough.

This is my fifth pair of Boston's but the 2nd pair that has caused significant rubbing and blisters on the top of my big toes on both feet. There seems to be something on the inside that is quite sharp and over time becomes extremely painful. Not ideal for training and hopefully feet recover well during my rest week. In the mean time I'll swap back to a different model. Only seem to have issues with this model, never had issues with any of the following; SL, SL2, Evo SL, Adios 5-8, pros 3 /4

It doesn't feel as comfortable as other running shoes straight away, a bit firmer than I thought they would be.

The shoe is a bit narrow in the toes and a bit loose in the heel.

Size down at least a half size. Does not fit true to size.

Great looking shoe. But not ment for those with narrow foot. Forefoot is very wide.

Shoe isn't for me. The set-up of Lightstrike, Lightstrike Pro, and energy rods is too stiff even after 100KM.

I ran 200km in these Adizero Boston 12s before writing this review. I'm 47 (M) and run about 45km a week. I have mixed feelings My main criticism is that the shoes feel very narrow in the mid-foot which clamps the foot there, leaving the heel loose. A solution is to use heel-lock lacing but the laces provided are too short - so I bought laces 10cm longer to allow this. The hole for putting your foot into the shoe is small and unforgiving and I need to drastically loosen the laces before getting the shoes on, so they do not feel like comfortable shoes to easily slip into and get going with - getting ready for a run feels like a bit of a palaver as a result. I have wide feet, but not excessively so, and I have come from a more bare-foot style of trainer. The size I have is right (in length) and I wouldn't have wanted a size up. I would advise considering an alternative if you have wide feet! Having said this, when on and laced (with a heel lock) these shoes feel supportive and propelling - they are definitely fast! I'm slowing down as I age but these shoes straight away took a few seconds per km off my regular runs without any other alterations, and they feel just as good at the end of a long run as when you start out. I'm training for a marathon and feel I could wear these at that distance. The outsole has a really good rubber grip which felt good on icy pavements and is even ok on trails. It feels good running in them, so I'll live with the flaws in the design (some of which are to do with the width of my feet), but probably would not buy the same shoes again.

dang Adidas... loving these new colorways but you are taking size 6 men's off really is forcing me to take my business elsewhere.. I love these shoes but can't buy any of your newer line-ups. Disappointing, yall were my go to...

Not good value, but the design was pretty nice and the colours too

size was ok and the width.after 10 k I felt a sharp pain on my ankle

Looks elegant, good product to wear for running..

These are great shoes and a blast to run in but they definitely ran 1/2 to 3/4 of a size too big so unfortunately I had to return them. If you're on the fence definitely size down but get these great shoes!

I really liked the design and I really liked the design

I liked the look of the shoe but when I tried them on the material of the shoe pulled and didn't hold its shape with my foot in them. This may have been to do with the shape of my foot but I didn't like how it ended up looking.

Good running shoe,if cushion lasts long then shoe would prove to be great.

Although fit is rough, paces faster that 8min/mile feel effortless. Try to find a way to fix fit cus the ride is good, just hurts my feet

The shoe is a good shoe, but the foam is not durable. When I run I occasionally hit my foot on my other foot slightly and doing this has knocked out a chunk of foam on each shoe so far.

the cushion is nice and daily usable and no pain n legs when it use on running

I'm a size 7.5 and majority of the shoes that size fit, but these shoes were way too big for my size so. It was probably for me but take in consideration that this shoe might fit you big, other than that it is a great shoe

I really liked the ride and I think the midsole and rods combo is dialed in almost perfectly. Sadly, the narrow upper proved too uncomfortable for my slightly wide midfoot.

The heel design is not for me. It is hard to land correctly and the transition cause more problems and feels unstable.

Great quality on the bottoms but the upper is simple.

Adizero Boston 12 Running Shoes Hated the shoe Laces untied (despite double knots) 2x Mesh vamp upper was too soft Top line has literally no support at all, a little abrasive too Heel notch has this weird extra flap that caused some abrasion Howeverthey felt FAST Ran with dog and she had to do more than trot to keep up Overall splits don't reflect retying shoes, dog breaks, traffic Super stiff sole construction Cushion was supportive and didn't feel that bone jarring stride as a heel striker.

The upper is poorly secured and appears bunched or uneven where it joins the sole on the right foot suggesting substandard attachment or craftsmanship.
