    ADIDAS ADIZERO BOSTON 12 REVIEW - A 3 STRIPE SUPER TRAINER? LIGHTER & FASTER! - EDDBUD
    An initial review of the new ADIDAS BOSTON 12, a brand new version of the classic BOSTON model, more maximal stack and now with an updated midsole thats a great deal softer and compressive than before.
    A more maximal cushioned shoe with 41mm of stack in my uk 11 / us 12 makes for a great option for those longer training runs and even some speedier work. This could even work for some daily miles for some runners. A big weight reduction here from the last Boston model i tried out which was the 10.
    This is a shoe i bought with my own cash, as per usual nobody is vetting my views before my valued viewers.
    I comment on the upper, midsole and outsole after my initial runs.

    This shoe is EXCELLENT!!! I have been using this for about a month now. What I love about the Boston 12 is that it is a very versatile shoe. I find just as much enjoyment in using this for my long runs as I do for tempo days and speed workouts. Great job Adidas 👏

    As always Edd, spot on with this initial review.
    Fully aligned with your minior complaint about the upper - we need more padding to protect the top of the foot.
    Adi hit the mark with this one. The ride is smooth and the foams blend well.
    Solid improvement and I am glad that you are enjoying it too. 🎉😎

    I picked up the Boston 11 late last year on 50%-off sale on Adidas's US site because I'm such an Adizero fanboy but, as much as I tried, I just could not get myself to like it. I don't mind firmness in the midsole every now and then and is sometimes preferred but the 11's ride just felt clunky and the upper wasn't comfortable either. So, I envisioned how the 11 can be improved and the 12 pretty much addresses all the issues.
    I've put in 50 miles so far and it's become one of my two favorite daily trainers - the other being the Deviate Nitro 2. The two are similar when you compare the specs but they feel and ride quite different, so I won't say one is better than the other - just different at the same upper echelon level of versatile daily super trainers. I can say the Boston 12 definitely makes me want to go faster than I would with the DN2. You start running and it just beckons you to pick up the pace. The DN2 doesn't do that; when *you* want to pick up the pace, it just politely follows and does fine.
    Very happy with the Boston 12. It's still not the most comfortable in terms of the upper and I still need to fiddle with the tongue and lacing to get the lockdown and comfort dialed in right (like with the AP3 and TS8) but, once dialed in, I don't notice the upper at all and just enjoy the ride that the superb combination of the midsole and outsole provide. It's peppy and has more of that race shoe feel than a typical daily trainer. I guess that's what makes it "super". It wouldn't be my first choice for easy runs but it's fine for warmups or cooldowns with faster tempo/threshold type of workouts. Overall, I'd say Adidas nailed it with this version of the Boston.

    Mine arrived from Wiggle the day after I saw your review - I managed to pick up the same discount which makes this shoe quite a bargain. I can't believe I can finally actually get my foot in an Adidas shoe with my regular size, and what is this a proper sized toe box. Only a couple of runs, has broken in slightly - but I'm really enjoying this shoe - currently been running in Speed 3 (450m) and the Superblast (230m). I'm finding the Boston 12 more stable than both of those shoes and I think it might fit my needs for a daily trainer.

    heading out in my modified 11 right now! (I removed the carbon platelet under the heel to make it a comfortable shoe). Glad to hear the 12 is softer out of the box. Maybe because they also removed the platelet? The old lightstrike, and pro, are pretty "firm" until they warm up, and the difference is noticeable. The nature of materials is that heat causes a material to soften up, and the action of foam compressing and releasing causes it to heat up. After about 15 minutes of running my 11 soften up. I'm wondering if the materials used by Adidas are more reactive to such heat/molecular action than midsole materials used by some other brands? Some seem to be pretty consistent regardless of miles and ambient temps.

And waiting patiently for the day I can retire the Endo Speed V3 due to heel issues that I can't resolve....Boston 12 might be the ideal replacement for the Speed V3 (which I found way too squishy as well).

    A return to a good Boston.
    The new heel thing on adizero shoes doesn’t bother me. It’s a small bit of soft-to-touch material that stays out of the way. It’s the one quirky detail on an otherwise very straightforward shoe.
    I may pick this one up once adidas deep discounts it.

    Another classical Copa Mondial/World Cup (I was also an Adidas purist back in the footballing day) colourway, they look magnificent. Could even wear them to the pub, where maybe the energy rods would help you beat the queue to the bar. Anyway, frivolity aside, maybe take a look at these. The heel on Adidas shoes, especially with lightstrike, always makes me apprehensive. At slower paces the heel always felt stiff, to the point of feeling like it was making my brain bounce inside my skull. This newer, softer heel and midsole definitely sounds more attractive.

    Even though this shoe doesn't appeal to me all that much, I am thinking about getting a pair for the grip in the long 'wet road' months ahead. I already have the Deviate Nitro 2, which is the only shoe I have, that can handle the 'greasy' cycle paths around here, but it's just so damn unforgiving/dead at slow paces. I feel like I'm flying going full out, but otherwise I feel like I have a plank strapped to my feet. Which is an issue doing intervals. The More v4 will do for easy runs, but I need something for intervals/tempo runs.

    Great content as always Edd! Wondered if you count help me, I’ve recent had the Adios 7’s and the Sen 8’ but as I run on a mixture of even and uneven surfaces they’ve both gotten holes in the mesh of the shoe after about 3 months of use (I run around 100km a month). I’m therefore looking for an adidas shoe that’s a bit more durable and wondered if the Boston 12’s were the answer? Cheers mate.

    Just got mine in the post. The middle eyelets are weird. They need to be cinched down tightly for a secure fit, and the laces are super standard; like the type you get on casual shoes. I don't expect the laces to hold. My initial impression, just standing in them, is that the foam is firmer than a VF2. I look forward to breaking them in.

      @EDDBUD true. I'm new to running and am still learning the differences in shoes and rotation. I think I have it nailed down now... daily trainer, tempo, race (peg39, Boston 12, vf2). Since I don't have any desire to race, I was using the vf2 as my tempo shoe. Now, with the Boston 12, the vf2 will be saved for HIIT sessions and tempo long-runs.

  • @TimGrose
    @TimGrose Před 11 měsíci +3

    Ah you liked these more than I thought you might. Interesting you liked the upper as found it rather generous and I had to cut my laces as had to pull them in so much. Done a fair bit in mine now (63 miles) including today although towards the end of an hour easy felt my toes almost going numb as seems really firm there. Guess if this what is now considered a super trainer then I find the Adios 8, Sen 9, Adios Pro 3, Prime X all more super. Also I don’t think you said if you preferred this over the “classic” 9. Although bit heavier (by 30g fit me) the Boston 11 fits my narrow long feet better than these. That said not a bad shoe for me the Boston 12 but being picky the Speed 3 is 60g lighter for me as was the Peg Turbo 2 so this kind of feels second best to those in the lightweight trainer category. Does generally seem popular though.

    Are you still planning to pick up the Vomero? As Nike daily trainers go, I was optimistic for ReactX, but then they made the Infinity Run into a pair of anvils (and it doesn't sound like the foam is that drastic of an improvement to the ride, which kind of eliminates my hope of the Peg 41 being a major improvement either). But on paper, I'm definitely on-board for the max cushion ZoomX shoes, and I know you were a big fan of the Vomero 16!

    I've run around 30k in my new Boston 12. It is a good but flawed shoe. The midsole is great and does become more soft and springy after the the first 20k. However, the lacing system and lack of comfort in the upper are disappointing. My use case will be limited to tempo runs and some speed work. Ultimately, I think the shoe doesn't suit my narrow foot shape and as a result it feels just a bit wide in the forefoot. Strange when I measure it against my Puma VN2 they are almost identical in the width of the shoe and forefoot platform, but the Boston does feel like a big shoe to me.
