[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a great feeling shoe. It snugs me in pretty good, but... My left shoe shoelaces came undone in mile 5 of my 10-mile run. I think the only thing I would have to do is just get different shoelaces because these seem to slip easily. Also, my feet are a little thicker than most women's feet and I usually have to get a men's size to fit well. I felt like this was a little too tight on my right foot on my big toe joint and left me tender in that joint or a few days. I must mention I have rheumatoid arthritis, so that could have contributed as well. I am training for my 12th marathon, but will probably stick to running in these for a 3-7 mile max run.
I've been using the Boston running shoes for years, and ALWAYS go back to them. I finally found a shoe that works for my foot. Everyone has different foot styling and you have to find the one that works for you. This shoe is great for a wider toe box if you want a shoe that is more natural to the way a foot was meant to be! When you wear shoes that crowd toes together, you'll constantly have issues, and this prevents that. The light weight shoe allows for longer distance running without weighing you down, and still has that Spring back off hard ground. With each model, they tend to fix any issues that the previous model has had, and I appreciate that!
I am a big adizero fan with several other shoes of the line in my current rotation. This one unfortunately does not work for me. The fit seems wrong, and the top of the lace line, where it joins up with the heel collar padding seemed not properly sewn in place. My regular size was strangely too short while half-size up felt too big everywhere else. I wish the upper here was a bit more like that of the adios 9. Even the Evo SL feels more premium than the Boston 13. Make sure to try it in the store before you buy to ensure the fit is for you. It is a shame because the midsole is a big step up from the version 12, but I've ended up returning it for it did not work for me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great shoe for everyday running. Comfortable and stylish
I love my EVO SL, but after a few long runs, I noticed that my ankles were getting pretty sore. That’s what made me try the Boston 13, and I’m really glad I did. The Boston 13 feels noticeably more stable than the EVO SL, while still being light enough for me. I’ve seen a lot of reviews saying that the Boston 13 runs small, but I went with my usual size 8 and it fits perfectly. I wear an 8.5 in the EVO SL for reference. So far, the Boston 13 has been a great option for my long runs. I still love the EVO SL, but when I want a little more stability and support, I reach for the Boston 13.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i like the look, the colors, the feel is very bouncy and cushiony. running in them feels great. i am a very casual runner though. i also use them for walking. i will say, they do feel somehow not so stable as they seem to feel like there is a slight left/right wobble. its not bad, and not noticeable while running, moreso while walking. also, the top of the toe fabric is just plastic mesh, i could see that wearing out sooner, and i could also see it bothering the big toes possibly. i notice it but it does not bother me. i wore them for 6 hours walking all day once and didnt have any issues though.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve only gotten a few miles on these but they’re a great daily trainer so far. Perfect balance between firmness and cushion for me. This shoe lets me be myself when I run and is so versatile between easy sessions and tempo/interval runs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great colour, great fit, great look, not the lightest plated shoe out there but I've been using them for long runs and they have plenty of support for that
Bought it for my daughter she loves them the color is great for a teenager
I did not expect to love these as much as I do! I bought these because I needed a pair of shoes to train for Hyrox in. These filled a number of very specific training needs: stable enough to lift heavy in, bouncy enough to do HIIT/ cardio class workouts in without getting shin splints and feel great on both long and short runs. Just wide enough that I can spread my toes out in my shoes for stability and don’t feel any cramping in my arches during long runs. These definitely checked all my boxes and this white & silver colorway goes with everything. The only potential downside is the thin laces. I have only been using them for about a month and the laces already feel like they’re starting to wear. Would love if they included an extra pair in the future.
