adidas | Men’s Adizero Boston 12 Running Shoes – Ftwr White

Advice for Road Runners: The adidas Men’s Adizero Boston 12 Running Shoes are one of the most popular models for faster-paced training sessions, such as intervals and tempo runs. 

We think the Ftwr White/Aurora Met./Solar Red colourway is one of the best yet.

Underfoot Feel

The adidas Adizero Boston 12 Running Shoes offer a balanced feel between soft and responsive cushioning. As a result, they feel great over a range of paces and intensities.

A bottom layer of LIGHTSTRIKE 2.0 cushioning feels forgiving and relatively plush – perfect for improving comfort levels. In contrast, a top layer of adidas’ most resilient foam – LIGHTSTRIKE PRO – improves energy return. 

Glass-fibre infused ENERGYRODS are more flexible than the carbon-infused ones that feature in the Adizero Adios Pro 3 Running Shoes. Ultimately, this means the Boston 12 offers a more comfortable experience across a greater range of paces. However, you’ll still experience a lot of extra propulsion.

Upper Fit

In contrast to typical Adizero Road Racing Shoes, the adidas Boston 12 Running Shoes offer an accommodating fit in the toe box. This means they’ll suit a range of foot shapes, including those with broad feet.

The upper strikes a balance between performance and comfort, which is exactly what you need for weekly training sessions.

Ideal Run Type

The adidas Men’s Adizero Boston 12 Running Shoes are very popular because they should work for a broad range of paces.

You’ll get the most out of them on your faster-paced training sessions. Although, they’re also suitable for longer build runs, that progress from slower to faster speeds. 

In a perfect world, opting for the Boston 12 in training runs means you can keep a pair of – less durable, but more propulsive – super-shoes for race day.

Sizing Advice 

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
