Boston 13 - awesome

"The Adidas Adizero Boston 13 has quickly become one of my favourite training shoes. It strikes an excellent balance between speed, comfort, and durability, making it ideal for marathon preparation and everyday training. The updated Lightstrike Pro midsole feels noticeably more energetic and responsive, while the EnergyRods provide a smooth, propulsive ride during tempo sessions and long runs. The redesigned upper is more comfortable and secure than previous versions, with excellent breathability and lockdown. What really stands out is its versatility—it handles easy kilometres, marathon-pace efforts, and faster workouts equally well."

Responsive winners

"Wanted to build a shoe rotation and include a shoe for tempo/speedier runs. The Bostons were recommended by the Manly team. They are super perky and cute."

— Edwina W. (5/5)

Versatile shoe

"A great training companion if you like the adidas line up. What I like about this is the fact that it’s stiffer. I’ve enjoyed this shoe at all paces and it’s a great all rounder for all types of runs"

Boston 13 - carbon rod

"My first carbon rod running shoe, still need time to get use to it. I would go with your normal Adidas running shoe size, I normally go with US11 but this time I went 10. 5 which was a bit snug. (it is because boston 12 had less padding that is why i went down 0. 5) If you like firm, bouncy feel go with EVO SL."

Boston 13

"I ran in Hokas for about 18 years before trying adidas and ran in these for the last 4 years. . I love these as an everyday training shoes. I use adios pro 4 for racing as they have so much ‘pop’ in them and you get so much return. , but not the mileage. I can get 7-800 k in the bostons. . They do lack a little stiffness which I liked in the earlier models, but as a training shoe in this profile range they are hard to beat and have def sorted out the issues with lacing."
