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 👏

Superb versatile shoe and glad it’s hitting the spot for you.
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.
Great shoe. It grew on me, was not convinced at first, but now I love it.

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.

Quite a different shoe but both are enjoyable. Bit more squash in the Puma.
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.

Big, clunky, heavy aside from the vomero. Build is poor on those and they always seem to be poorly styled too. Whoever designs the uppers needs a talking to!
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.
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.

@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.
Amazing shoe at all paces but best at moderate and up pace. Amazing off road because of the rods give propulsion and keep it flexible. I can't run off road in a shoe with a full stiff plate. TTS and good for wide feet. Feels like a reliable SUV.. ❤

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.

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.

Very different shoes.
Hi just a question on sizing. I had to go up half a size for the adizero SL to a 9.5 and was looking to upgrade from those to the Boston 12’s. Would you go the same size in the Boston as i did for the SL’s? Thanks in advance.

The sl was weird in sizing. Go true to a size on your bostons.

Hey Edd, check this short video with B12 midsole exploded: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6trrctunKmbgso.html B12 is great but I got plenty of use to my B11. I got both. But I'm heavy (100kg) and the bricky more stable B11 suits me to heelstriking and gym. So I think they two work to me.... great rewiew!
Haha, told ya you'd like it

The boston 10 was just plain awful totally fucked my legs up on easy runs. And I am really light, it just didn’t work for me, I used to run even in the New Balance 1500 or how it is called. So that shoe was just -10 ever since I have never bought an Adidas shoe again, and prolly will never buy any of them. Aswell like they make pretty bad easy run shoes (except the ultraboost maybe) And yeah Takumi sen is worse than the streaklfy and is more expensive and just slightly more affordable than the Vaporfly (which is just worlds better) what should you use a Boston 12 for??

Same here on the 10. Was a heavy beast. I do like a nice light shoe. The Superblast is perhaps the ultimate balance between cushion and weight for me.
I went 1/2 size down, otherwise, the shoe feels longer than Boston 10/11.

This is the Boston 12. A few years back I was an 11.5 in adidas. Not anymore.
