adidas Adizero Boston 13 Reviews

First 12 km: soft, breathable upper, stable and propulsive, but legs don't stay fresh as long and the laces are short.

350 miles as a tempo workhorse for a marathon build, but the tapered toebox and stiffness aggravated plantar fasciitis on a second pair.

A 110 kg runner describes the Boston 13 as a stiffer, more stable Evo SL, and it is the shoe they reach for most.

Found their ankle unstable in the Evo SL after 5-7 km but feels far more control in the Boston as they tire.

A heavier 96 kg heel-striker finds the Boston 13 an absolute beast capable of anything from a sub-20 5K to a 3:30 marathon, a spiritual successor to the Adios Pro 3.

After 30 miles of long runs with 2E feet, the Boston 13 gives a stable, energetic, guiding ride that doesn't bottom out, though its toe box is tapered and its fit less forgiving than the Evo SL.

With flat feet and overpronation, the Boston 13's stability and firmness make it a do-it-all shoe.

Picked the Boston 13 over the Evo SL as a tempo shoe; the Evo would have killed their ankles, and the Boston, though still on the edge, is firmer and more suitable.

More than 40 miles at paces from easy recovery to 5K intervals, with a longest run of 90 minutes, mostly on road plus some light off-road. They found the fit true to size and comfortable out of the box, but the ride firmer and blockier than expected at slow paces, opening up and feeling snappier at faster paces. A stable, versatile everyday trainer, though those wanting soft, squishy recovery-run cushioning may look elsewhere.

A versatile workhorse that handles speed sessions, easy doubles and 20-milers. After 100 miles the Continental outsole shows minimal wear, and grip is excellent on wet pavement.
