adidas Adizero Boston 13 Running Shoes Review - The All-Rounder for Speed Sessions

In this review, we take a deep dive into the new adidas Adizero Boston 13 running shoes. Covering everything from the tech updates to real-world performance, we break down how the Boston 13 compares to previous versions and where it fits in your running rotation. The adidas Adizero Boston 13 features 13.8% more LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam in the midsole—now extending further into the forefoot—for increased cushioning and energy return. It is the same LIGHTSTRIKE PRO compound used in the Adios Pro 4, making it noticeably softer and bouncier than previous versions. In this video, we also explain why the Boston 13 is one of the best shoes you can choose for weekly speed sessions, tempo efforts, VO2 workouts, and steady long runs. Its glass fibre–infused energy rods provide a propulsive feel while remaining more flexible and forgiving than the carbon rods in the Adios Pro 4. The shoe’s updated LIGHTTRAXION outsole improves durability without adding weight, while a section of Continental rubber in the forefoot ensures grip during toe-off. The upper remains breathable and accommodating, with improved padding at the heel and tongue for better lockdown. Compared to the Adios Pro 4, the Boston 13 offers more stability and durability, making it better suited for training. While the Adios Pro 4 excels on race day with its softer ride and aggressive rocker, the Boston helps runners avoid over-reliance on high-stack propulsion and develop stronger biomechanics. If you're looking for a shoe that handles both steady mileage and high-intensity efforts—and can complement a race-day super shoe—the Boston 13 is an ideal option. Priced at £140, it also represents excellent value when compared to many higher-priced models that don’t offer the same level of performance or longevity.
