The Adidas Boston 12 and New Balance Rebel v4 are both versatile shoes that lean slightly towards speedy running, and both are pretty good value too especially as they often feature in sales. Nick is a big fan of both shoes, but which should you add to your rotation? The answer (hopefully) lies within this video.

Comparison between Adidas Boston 12 and Saucony Endorphin Speed 4, then Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 vs New Balance Rebel v4

@barryleslie7727 Месяц назад

The Boston 12 has been an absolute bonus to my marathon training and works well in partnership with my Prime X strung shoes. These are very nippy shoes and do well at pacy sessions between 10-20 miles and I even ran a PB in the Great Eastern Run last year

@m1lkb0xx Месяц назад

I was waiting for a comparison like this, I’ve been eying the Boston 12 my fav iteration was the 7 but they haven’t been the same since, then the price point of the rebel and after the demo run I got the rebel

@hfurbano Месяц назад

Great comparison! I hope for a comparison between Rebel 4 and Supernova Rise 😊

@grantmckay7014 Месяц назад

During marathon training the Boston 12 is my favourite shoe for going over 30km. A tad uncomfortable at the beginning of each run but so comfortable and cruisy by the end. Great durability too!

@stephenlee1643 Месяц назад

Over 500 miles in Boston 12s now as a daily, with the adios for speedier work and Takumi Sen for 5k/10k races. In the company of the other Adidas that I run in the Boston does feel quite heavy, but still soft, though it really is an art to getting the right lockdown.

@justoutlaw6423 Месяц назад

Thanks. Already have Boston 12. Looking for an easy companion, Rebel is on my radar.

@Vu-lq5se Месяц назад

Been doing 30km+ long runs in the Rebel V4 and they have been great. Only bad thing is that Im constantly tempted to run quicker and have to remind myself to slow down. The very light midsole and wider design is definitely the highlight and allows legs to recover much quicker after each run.😊

@harrygoldsmith6792 Месяц назад

We might be similar...I'm a 9 in my street shoes (vans, adidas,...). I go a half size up in Kinvaras (9.5) forrunning. How does the rebel fit? Would I be good with a 9 or 9.5? Just wanted to make sure I understood what you said.

@bh4560 Месяц назад

I have the bostons and just love them for my marathon block. Been doing long runs with efforts in them and all my interval work too. I find them responsive and snappy but not vaporfly fast. After being let down by the saucony speed 3s the bostons made up for it. And they are really durable too so happy days. 😊

@Kaisersozze Месяц назад

When you say Boston is good for racing, does that include half marathon and marathon? 24mm in the forefoot for the Rebel and 31mm for the Boston. That's quite a difference yet the look similar.

@barryleslie7727 Месяц назад

I ran a PB in the Great Eastern Run. Easily ate up the half marathon distance

@grantmckay7014 Месяц назад

I have run many solid 30km long runs in the Boston 12. I would happily have run my marathon in them if I didn't have the Adios Pro 3.

@Bodhished Месяц назад

Only done 22k in the rebel v4 so far. Definitely a more relaxing shoe than the Boston 12 which is close to end of life. If I only had one I'd go Boston 12. Rebel is a good choice for easier and moderate. Boston can do that but eggs you on to pick up the pace.

@juha2031 19 дней назад

Would you buy Rebel over Propel for 10k races?

@AdrianNiveau Месяц назад

I got both, the Boston doesn't fit me well though. Its narrow and too stiff in my opinion. Not comfy. Rebel way better overall feeling.

@faisalshah5130 Месяц назад

NB is really pushing it for the Rebel V4 when its essentially a daily trainer in the same category as the Puma Velocity Nitro 3 and Asics Novablast 4 but is pitched at a much higher price point. There was no way it was going to be better than the Boston 12 and I think if you compared the Rebel to a Deviate Nitro 2, Magic Speed 3 and Endorphin Speed 4 it would also be overshadowed.

@ifonly4486 Месяц назад

That eva/peba blend NB is selling us is mostly plain eva and it feels like it. Got a pair. They're light and that's about it. Don't buy the hype......

@Feanaro5503 Месяц назад

Grab the V3 on sale, perhaps. I paid the full $130 for them last year, and really like them for faster daily training. Lower stack, but very bouncy.

@HyperOpticalSaint Месяц назад

What are you talking about? It's the exact same price as Novablast 4. Where is this much higher price?

Big problem is it’s been near impossible to find a pair of Bostons size 10.5 uk for at least 4 months. Believe me,I’ve been looking!

@Shipwreckruns Месяц назад

I have both. 200 miles on the Boston and only 10 on the Rebel v4. The Boston still feels great, but I have a sad, sinking suspicion that I will not get the same feeling from the Rebel at 200 miles.

@the_real_cansin Месяц назад

I really like the midsole and outsole of the Boston 12. It is well cushioned and responsive. Also it is very versatile and stable at any pace which makes it a perfect daily trainer & all rounder. The shoe feels fast and the fit is very nice and roomy. But... There are three big downsides of this shoe which easily removes / neutralizes the pros. 1-) The worst tongue that I've ever seen. The material used for the tongue is really weird and it makes the tongue unusable. 2-) The worst laces that I've ever seen. Literally the worst... 3-) Hard upper fabric. It makes the shoe very uncomfortable for long runs. It is like cheap backpack fabric. I have switched between Boston 12 and Novablast 3s for the last month and decided to continue with Novablasts. Bostons are better in terms of many related to running like traction, responsiveness, cushioning, energy return but no way with that cheap upper also the other reasons that I listed above makes the shoe unusable for me.

@RunMissouri Месяц назад

to me these shoes are nothing alike. Rebel is a mushy recovery shoe and boston firmer daily/long run.

@garry9588 Месяц назад

I love the Boston except for that tongue. Fix that and it's a perfect shoe

@radusurugiu 20 дней назад

Boston 12 is heavy, heel slips, laces bite on top of foot and hard to find a good lockdown. Never buy again..

@Ou8y2k2 20 дней назад

The rods would probably fatigue the foot prematurely as well. For daily trainers, stuff like plates and rods are unnecessary. I remember when Adidas just did fashionable high tops. For running, I'm sticking to NB and Saucony. Nikes and Altras just don't last. On is too new with their holes and stuff; durability could be an issue. Asics have too narrow fits. And Hokas have stack heights that are crazy high.
