The BEST ADIDAS RUNNING SHOE? - ADIZERO BOSTON 12 after 100 MILES - EDDBUD
A FINAL review of the ADIDAS ADIZERO BOSTON 12, probaly one of the best value shoes i have picked up in a long time!
A return to form for the BOSTON model with superb fit, durability and price.
A shoe you need to break in somewhat to get the best out of it, but easily the best pound for pound value.
I comment on the upper, midsole and outsole after 100 miles or 160km.
Let me know your thoughts and opinions down in the comments.
This is a shoe that i purchased with my own cash for review.
1:23 Upper
3:30 Midsole
5:58 Outsole
7:22 Value

@robborrel6786 3 месяца назад

Bought them in the summer of 23, hardly used them. Not a shoe that stands out, easy to forget. But, your video made me try a fast 5K in them today, and by jove they are great. Fastest time I've run in a while. And they are comfy and bouncy enough for a heavy guy like me. Thanks for this reminder!!

@eleftheriazigiri8403 3 месяца назад

loved it Ed!! must admit your most loved choices have worked perfectly for me!! very happy with my Boston 12s, loving my Superblasts! looking for a nice recovery shoe and speedier than the Bostons now to complete the rotation ;) keep looking at your videos to discover! thanks for the great reviews!

@gijssmets5406 3 месяца назад

I just bought a pair this week. Did 24km in just over 2 hours today, straight out of the box. Felt really great. I'm doing a 12 hour road event in The Netherlands in March and this might just be the shoe (or my triumph 20's). My previous Bostons were the 9 (800+ km's). The difference between the two really shows how shoes have evolved over the last couple of years.

100% agree with your review. Love the Boston 12 for easy runs and long runs. Good outsole, but especially the midsole is fantastic. Bouncy and responsive. Not too soft, yet very comfortable. Together with the Takumi Sen 9 for speedwork and Deviate Nitro Elite 2 for racing, my rotation is complete. Either the Boston 12 or the Deviate Nitro Elite 2 would be an excellent do-it-all shoe as well.

@yiannismerianos 3 месяца назад

Bought 11 for 52€ earth credits on discount! First I was skeptical me and my 88kgs!😬 After 40k the rods tuned to my body 😅. Definitely buying the 12!

@tazpengra 3 месяца назад

I also bought my 11's for $50. I "fixed" them by cutting out the little token flat piece of carbon sheet under the heel (directly under the strobel plate, cut through fabric, remove, put insole back in). It makes the 11 SO much more pleasant to run in, because nothing is between you and the LightstrikePro foam.

@hauyeelam6057 3 месяца назад

Hi Ed, thanks for the video, I saw the B12 last year after released by Adidas but didn’t get one, as I was running with UB22. After seeing your view for 100miles B12, finally got myself a pair female B12 for 76 earth credits from Profeet, can’t wait to try them on.

Then I hanged them till today and went running in them again and remembered how great they are and I can't wait to go run in them again. I'm not much into running, much more of a gym person, but I think I will get into it thanks to this shoe.

@bh4560 3 месяца назад

@@EDDBUD the speed 2 was my fave ever. Had 2 pairs. But the 3 gave me crazy blisters on my toes on 2 long runs. Different socks! So I just use them for shorted stuff now. Using velocity nitro 2 for long runs but I think the boston could be perfect for sharing the load especially with marathon effort thrown in. 😄

@MrAsthenia 3 месяца назад

I was lucky enough to be able to grab a couple of pairs of the wide version of the Boston 12 from Wiggle. There aren't many wide fitting shoes like this, other than the Deviate Nitro 2. It's slim pickings for us wider footed folk when it comes to anything more exciting than miserable RunFalcons. Anyway, I agree with you on the Boston 12. They are close to supplanting the Superblast for me on the Sunday long runs. Anyway, thanks for another cracking review!

@spartanB0292 3 месяца назад

I feel like I'd love the wide version of this shoe. I loved the fit of the Solarboost 3s, even the regular version was roomy, but the cushioning just wasn't there.

@EDDBUD 3 месяца назад

Much appreciated and glad they are hitting the spot

@mav3ric100 3 месяца назад

You compare this to the super blast? I guess everyone has different foot mechanics. This to me is comparable to the magic speed 2 but slightly softer. Super blast is magic to me.

@kostjan1986 3 месяца назад

I started running few weeks ago. My biggest problem with almost any shoe is the width. Adidas Boston 12 fits my feet very well and i even could insert custom insoles for my overpronation. They are even wider than Altra paradigm 6s in the midfood section. A traditional lacing system would be better choice from Adidas. Initially i had some problems because of my high instep using the runner's knot. It alway needs a bit of fine tuning. The midsole setup is genius. Continental outsole is on another level. Overall it's a great pair of shoes. I've got mine for 100€ and they are worth every cent. Thank you for the review! 👍

@EDDBUD 3 месяца назад

@ua38870 3 месяца назад

@jonathanp181 3 месяца назад

I really enjoyed them (and still do) and I agree with most of what you say, but I do have a negative experience to share. They are an absolute bliss to run in for 32k but beyond that point I do start to experience a really painful lace bite; that tongue is not made for marathoning. Of course I had never gone long enough during my training, and I experienced it for the first time during my marathon race itself, which was a real and unexpected bummer. It didn't keep me from finishing the race, and it didn't significantly affect my running (at that point everything is starting to hurt, anyways), but, boy, was I glad to finish and get these shoes off of my feet! Excellent shoe for marathon training, but not for the race itself!

@pseudoty 3 месяца назад

Once mine got broken in around 30K they are like a different shoe than out of the box, so comfortable. They are the best shoe I have ever owned for running down hills with speed. Not my go to for top speed in a race or tempo training but can handle anything else. Somehow I have adapted to the horrible laces, too long, too slippery, hard to get flat and a good lockdown, but that would be the only thing I hope they change in the 13.

@EDDBUD 3 месяца назад

Some serious compliments there. Really good model and good pricing.

@ellleigh1216 3 месяца назад

I think it’s gotta be my next shoe. I’m not plush with cash, so I’m all about all round shoes. If I can do long runs, speed work, marathons in one shoe, then I’m happy. As long as it’s stable enough, then I’m game.

@edwarjoselema6784 3 месяца назад

I love it. The only thing concerning me a bit is that the lightstrike 2.0 shows quite noticeable creasing after only 60kms. Maybe it is just poor running technique from me 😅 but really, it has creased way more than other foams such as Sauconys normal pwrrun. Have others experienced the same?

@EDDBUD 3 месяца назад

It’s creased but I think it’s performing better now

@insomnialove3150 3 месяца назад

If you have the Saucony Triumph 20 and Speed 3 and Asics Superblast and Novablast 3 do you need this shoe? I don't think I do but it sounds like an excellent versatile and durable shoe.

@EDDBUD 3 месяца назад

Might have it covered if you have those also!

3 месяца назад

Very stabel, good amount of softness and feedback. Use it for my easy runs and feels lively. Its just a bid wide and maybe i need to downsize. Just broke my mid foot in it, but its not the shoes fault. Be careful with all higher Carbon plated shoes as an angle twist coud make more damage

@EDDBUD 3 месяца назад

Bought Adios 8 recently and it is such a disappointment, so stift, can't seem to break it even after 80km 😢. Saucony Speed 3 was way too soft, such a waste of money for me. Thinking of replacing it with Boston 12 now, thank you for the review!

Not sure if they vary the formula. The new lightstrike 2.0 is a game changer for this model

@fergusdenoon1255 3 месяца назад

@@EDDBUD yeah I was wondering if they do vary the formula for lighter women? the size and fit is exactly the same so there must be something that makes it a "womens" shoe...besides them being pink...

I bought some boston 12s and I've heard they take some time to break in (maybe 50 ish miles ). I've probably got 13 miles in mine but I'm still having a hard time running in them. Is any one else in the same shoes as me? How long untill the shoes became comfortable? I've loved the saucony speed 1 and 2s and I feel like I've been lost since then. The boston 12 are close if I can only get them comfortable. Please help a fellow runner😢

@gavinhaynes5632 Месяц назад

Also I'm 6 ft 220 pnds so it's harder for me to find shoes.

@BonLazaro 3 месяца назад

Love the 12s completely different from the 10s. For me it's a completely different shoe all together. Opposite to the 10s that I only ran for 15k and gave them away,really can't run on them.

@EDDBUD 3 месяца назад

Yeah runs completely differently. Such a big change

@andreasmaher8749 3 месяца назад

I have the exact shoe and two months in Ive been enjoying it. For the stack it doesnt run like a high stack shoe. Feels pretty low to the ground so to speak. Something odd did happen about 4 miles in to my speed session this morning. I starting feeling some pain on the outside edge of my left foot almost like I had something in my shoe. By the time I got home 1.5 miles later it was hurting like mad. Took my shoe off and found a hole had been rubbed in my sock along with a corresponding bloody hole in the side of my foot. For the life of me I dont know what caused it. Nothing in the shoe I can find. Hoping its not the shoe.

I have around 100 miles on my pair now and I really want to love this shoe, I just can't. It feels and sounds like a clog with a midsole to me. I have the Boston 10 and I'm struggling to find the effects of Lightstrike Pro in the 12 that's supposed to make it better, it feels like a slightly stiffer shoe but still heavy. It's 'ok' but I'm not sure what it's for - the Pro 2/3 (Saucony's Endorphin as well), are great for the tempo long runs and I much prefer the Puma Velocity Nitro (there are loads of great slow runners from everyone) for slow long runs. The Takumi Sen 8/9/10 or even the Adios 6/7 are all better for shorter stints and track work.

@EDDBUD 3 месяца назад

Sounds like you have a different shoe to me. The 10 was awful. The 12 a massive improvement.

The Boston only because of the lighter breathable upper

@michaelmagill4159 3 месяца назад

Love the Boston 12 now. On the first few runs, I thought, "Oh no!". There really is a breaking in period, and the lace system won't be to everyones taste. But once I got the lockdown right and the foam boke down and softened a little, it has become a top trainer. Does everything well.

@EDDBUD 3 месяца назад

@user-alexperovich81 3 месяца назад

If Adidas upgrades the Boston 12 sneaker to your liking, it will be a different model. Although engineers never stand still. Boston 10 was an engineering breakthrough, while 11 and 12 saw only subtle changes for the better. Will there be a breakthrough in 2024 in terms of global change? I think no.
