Customer Reviews adidas adiZero Boston 12 Running Shoes

Did a 10km race with these pretty much fresh out of the box (I did a 3km shake out run a couple of days before). They do fit a bit big, especially around the ankle, but nothing a heel lock shoe lace technique didn't fix. I could've sized down have a size, but again, tightening the shoe laces was perfect and means my feet can spread out a bit. I found them super responsive and comfortable. My only other point is that I don't know how durable the top layer of the shoe will be and how long it'll be until I start to see it fray a bit (the mesh upper)

I don't realize the upgrade was so much better. I got the 12s thinking it would be a good complimentary shoe in my rotation. They were so uncomfortable I had to return them.

No padding on the heels, they gave me blisters immediately. Other than that there's plenty of cushioning and they're comfortable everywhere else.

A lovely looking shoe but Felt hard and slightly uncomfortable on me. It was also way too big even though I have other Adidas in the same size.

very comfortable but way too big im size 8.5 and I need to size down to 7.5

bought these after getting a pair of adizero evo's and they are nowhere near as comfortable!

Little stiff not for running I was expecting more response seeing it said for long runs

Feels very unstable to me. I like a very stable shoe. This shoe is not marketed as a stable shoe, but it didn't even feel normal to me. My feet felt completely wobbly in them.

Unfortunately, this iteration of the Adizero line was the first to not work for me. I have the SL2's and the Pro 3 and LOVE them, so I was hoping to love these too. However, the padding on the heel of this shoe is very minimal and the placement of the padding is too wide, leaving no padding at all on the very back which is where my heel is skinniest. The lack of padding, along with the slightly heavier weight of this shoe caused my heel to slip in and out. I tried lacing with the runners loop and it still slipped to the point that I was having to change my form to keep from feeling unstable. Sad that these didn't work out. Will probably try out the EVO SL next.

Sizing was off. I usually wear 8.5 and sized down to 8. Shoe ended up being too narrow after a few runs and was rubbing against my foot. Ended up donating the shoe after few wears

Runs big- I got the usual size 6 but they are not true to size as advised as there is significant gap at the ankles despite the socks and having to grip the shoes down as I jog. I'd only wore them twice, so fingers crossed they don't fly off my feet. These Boston 12 is the most I had spent on running shoes as the other popular brand on sale had been good enough for my training, half and full marathons, just I wanted to try Adidas but I am disappointed with this, as I am almost tripping over as well when jogging in them, which I had never experienced before with the other brand.

Good daily trainer but firm and not particularly spongy

The shoe feels comfortable in the front, but a bit loose around the ankle. The only reason I am not satisfied with this shoe is because of the materials used. After my second run, the black paint on the three stripes started fading into the white part. Despite explaining this problem to customer service four times, they have repeatedly told me that it is not covered under warranty.

The shoes looked really good, but they were uncomfortable and definitely ran small

the shoe tongue shifts constantly and consistently. even with the runner's heel tie, the tongue shifts and digs into the front bend of your foot-ankle. i purchased this in September 2024, gave it 8 months of trying to run various distances, max 13mi to minimum 1mi, every run did not feel right. i enjoy walking in these more than running.

Poor fit did not enjoy wearing them and would not recommend sorry

Shoe looks nice fits fine. Walked around the house for over week in them. Ran outside initially fine a steady run, went out with them again few days later agony couldn't even get to 5k. I went to A&E after 6 days as I still couldn't walk , 2nd week later still have not got 100% of my foot movement back cannot put my body weight down on it completely. Appalling customer service never answered my last email just closed the case.

The description of the shoe doesn't correlate with the performance of the shoe. Very disappointed in the shoe and the purchase.

The Adizero Boston 12 are not close to the Adizero Boston 11s. The 11s drove me forward and felt great on my feet and legs. The 12s my feet were hurting and I was dragging trying to speed up. My heels kept pushing to the ground and didn't propel me. My legs and feet were uncomfortable walking in them too. I think it's the heal to toe drop that messed up the better design. I hope the Boston 13 go back to the previous design.

They can be good with the right size. Light to wear and good for running

I wouldn't recommend, it's not a super shoe. It's too stiff

The heel started making a air sucking noise 2 weeks into wearing the shoe (probably went onto 6 runs

I ordered a size 11 women's regular, and received a size 12W men's. Now they're out of stock and I'm left with no racing shoes. Disappointed
