adidas Men's Adizero Boston 9 M Sneaker

Product Information

And then to put the icing on the cake in terms of responsiveness, the new EnergyRods have been added to the midsole. Its not a carbon plate but the effect is somewhat similar. EnergyRods are carbon fibre rods which provide a rigidity which creates propulsion and thereby limits the loss of energy in the rolling motion from the heel to the toe – however, not as much as a carbon plate. But this is exactly what takes part in making this shoe ideal as your fastest training partner and "promotes" the running shoe to a specific racer with a carbon plate like ADIDAS Adios Pro or Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next%. Now that I’m done gushing on the Boston, let’s dive into the dirty deets on the all-new Adizero Boston 9 and see if the Lightstrike did this in. The first Boston 8 version (with Lightstrike) had the shallowest internal volume of any shoe I’ve put on my foot in a long time. And even for my narrow foot, the toe box was so darn crammed, my feet would fall asleep on a run. However, the second version of the Boston 8 with just Boost fit fine. No clue how that fit got so bad in literally 6 months. But hang on here. That question is still unanswered by the Boston 9. My instinct is that the shoes would be just fine with out it. I struggle to find anything negative about Boston 10. Perhaps I preferred the design in the Boston 9 but the 10´also looks great. I think its cool. You get a sensation of racing for everyday-running - and who doesn´t enjoy that?

These shoes are great for running on pavement or asphalt. The sole is made to grip asphalt or smooth surfaces, which is great for long-distance marathons. How to Choose the Best Runnings Shoes

If there’s one thing that doesn’t change, it’s the Continental rubber on the outsole, and that’s good as it enhances the platform’s durability by protecting the foam from the midsole. The adidas Boston has evolved from a speed and racing shoe into this latest version for everyday running. Dougie: As seems to the be the way with adidas, for myself at least, I found the fit to be a little too tight and had to go up half a size. Not too much of an issue as the width was still perfectly fine from a UK 9.5 to a 10 in my size, it is worth noting there aren't any additional width fittings so if you often go for wider options, you could find yourself going up a full size to find that optimum fit.

Gone are the days of BOOST, welcome to the Lightstrike Pro era! The midsole of the Adidas Adizero Boston uses two layers: regular on the bottom and Pro on the top. While Boston 9 was designed with a Boost and Lightstrike-foam midsole, Boston 10 is now engineered with a mix of Lightstrike and Lightstrike-PRO. This means that the bottom midsole layer still consists of ADIDAS’ light, comfortable, more durable and responisive Lightstrike-foam. And the top layer - and really the biggest difference between the 9 and the 10 - now consists of ADIDAS’ absolutely most responisve foam, Lightstrike PRO, which is also used in ADIDAS´ fastest running shoe, Adios Pro.These neutral running shoes are best for runners without detectable pronation as they offer little corrective or supportive elements that a person with pronounced pronation may need for a gait cycle. Some brands shape their ankle collar to support the ankle bone better, while others use extra pads to secure it. Either way, find one that fits right. It wouldn’t be my go-to for easy and recovery runs, as the cushioning is definitely firmer than other shoes in the adidas range and from other brands. A dual-layer open mesh upper, combined with the coolever mesh lining offers much more splay and a more trainer-like feel compared to the Boston 7 and 8, which even for my foot still ran on the narrow side of things. I’m very impressed with the new fit. We’ve compiled a list of Adidas Adizero Boston 9 shoes, with their pros and cons to help you choose what’s best for you. Adidas Boston 9 Shoes

JEREMY: The Adidas Boston has been a staple lightweight trainer for years now, it’s known as a versatile shoe that can be used for road racing, workouts, and even every day running. The Boston 9 is no exception, updating the upper for a lighter and better fit and utilizing the semi-new Lightstrike midsole material. And while we’re on the subject of the sole, note that the Boost foam is gone in favor of Lightstrike Pro, a new softer foam. It gives a softer cushioning under the toes while the heel part remains relatively firm. The outsole, midsole, and cushioning all contribute to what environment a running shoe works well in. The outsole is where the rubber and the road meet, providing stability by matching your footprint. For all the changes made to the Boston 10, it still has the same problem its predecessors had, which is that it’s not as impressive as several other daily trainers that have made better use of the available tech. The Saucony Endorphin Speed 2has a nylon plate and Saucony’s impressive PWRRUN PB foam in the midsole, and produces a much faster, more enjoyable ride, while also being lighter than the Boston 10.They have a wide sole to limit excessive motion and are less flexible than most sneakers.
