The Adidas Boston 10 is the latest generation of Adidas’ incredibly popular Boston series. It is a complete overhaul of the last generation, where almost everything on the shoe has been improved. But the shoe is still true to its predecessor, so you get a fast shoe with enough shock-absorption to keep you running for miles. The shoe should be perceived as a younger sibling to Adidas’ high-end model. The Adidas Boston 10 can be used for both work-out and race-day. Adidas Boston 10 product description 10 mm drop Adidas super foam, Lightstrike Pro. Energy rods (carbon fingers) at the forefoot and a carbon plate in the heel Continental outsole, so you are solidly planted even in wet conditions A lot of shock-absorption and high return of energy Made with recyclable materials Upper The upper is made with a lightweight mesh material which ensures great airflow and breathability. There is an inner sock in the shoe to keep the foot in place and heighten the comfortability of the shoe. Midsole The Lightstrike Pro, Lightstrike, Energy rods and carbon plate. These are the keywords around the Adidas Boston 10. It has all the newest Adidas technologies. The two different Lightstrike foams ensure a lightweight shoe with a high return of energy, but also a great level of durability. When the two foam materials are working together with the two carbon technologies, the Energy rods and the carbon plate in the heel, you get a shoe that craves momentum. In other words, you get all the technology from the race-day shoes, but in a shoe that can be used for everyday training. Outsole Adidas has added the highly tested Continental rubber on the outsole of the Boston 10. As a result, you get a great grip, even on wet roads, and the rubber will last for many miles on the roads.

I bought these for walking / general use. Cushioning is nice, as is the look. My only concern is that they are a bit hard to get them on and off. Two hands works better. The tongue is integral to the shoe which I do no like.

A recent upgrade to the Boston line, which used to be mostly a flatter/firmer trainer. This newly updated Boston 10 is definitely more maximalist, but lacks the fun/bounce that shoes like the NB Rebel v2 or the Asics Novablast has. Instead, I've found that it more subtly guides and propels forward when you're feeling a little more fatigued, and protects the legs from soreness after a long run. Highly recommended, though if looking for an ultra cushioned/bouncy ride, look elsewhere.

A big improvement from the previous Boost sole Boston.Quite a stiff, hard ride initially; however, once they have about 20 miles on them these shoes come into their own.A great everyday road shoe that propels you forward onto your toes thanks to the ceramic plate in the newly designed midsole and sole.A winner.

In the first 2 weeks I gained a full hand of PBs on distances 5k - half marathon, brilliant. You get quite a bit of punch from the rails and these are far more stable for everyday use than the pro 2s. The downside is that they are a little over firm, marathon distance might be a bit uncomfortable.
Just purchased so these are my initial thoughts. The shoe is softer than I expected but not "mushy" as with other high stacked shoes. Despite the stack height the shoe is stable. Also I have the desire to run faster than expected for a slower pace daily shoe. Personally I don't really notice the weight that I hear people complain about. Bottom line is good shoe for daily training with ability to pick up the pace. I can see this shoe for a half marathon or less without any issues.
I really like how the midsole feels under foot some nice boucne without being too soft and seems to have a mild rocker feel making it easy to pick up the pace. Nice breathable upper for those hot days and easy to hose off from gravel trail running, the sole offers a nice combo of grip for on the road and light gravel community trails. I wear a mens US 12 in all my Adidas and this one is no different.
Won’t be for everyone but for a firm, cushioned ride on those long runs these fit the bill perfectly. Got a bit of weight to them but not noticeable once you get moving. Very niche purpose, but still has a place in a broader shoe rotation.
Adidas took a chance in so drastically changing a much loved shoe. But I think they did a great job. I purchased these as a daily trainer to augment my Pro 2 shoes for race day (Also bought and reviewed here on Altitude).But first, a bit about me, so you can see if my review would have any value to your needs. I’m 67, 180 pounds, 6’6” and train primarily on roads and race road marathon distances. I’ve been running for over 40 years, and have the gnarly feet to prove it, so appreciate a good shoe.Build;I am always happy to see Continental rubber on an outsole, as it wears so well. There is good tread and grip on the Bostons as befits a daily trainer. (And yes, I see in the picture I managed to step in fox poop in both shoes. That’s life in rural PEI.) The uppers ...

There is good tread and grip on the Bostons as befits a daily trainer. (And yes, I see in the picture I managed to step in fox poop in both shoes. That’s life in rural PEI.) The uppers are not as breathable as I had expected, and my feet were hotter than some of my other shoes. But the uppers do lock your foot in, and the toe box is spacious. Some reviewers have remarked that these shoes are heavy, but I think we runners are getting obsessed with the weight of our watches and shoes and in danger of becoming weight weenies like our cyclist friends. :-) Size 13 Boston 10 is 12.5oz/353g, the Pro2 is 10oz/283g. I’m not that fine tuned a runner to be affected by three ounces.Ride;The fibreglass rods are noticeable, and in conjunction with the Lightstrike foam, the energy return is obvious. I found I was pushing more watts and speed without an increase in heart rate. I know the Stryd power pod reacts differently to different shoes, and I had no way to test how accurate the higher wattage was, except to correlate it to heart rate.While these are more stable than the Pro2, as they don’t have the drastic heel taper, these shoes are best suited to forefoot strikers. I’m a forefoot striker and found the shoe had a nice pop and toe off. When I tried heel striking, I was surprised how hard the padding seemed and how jarring the transition was. The heel padding is not as soft as you would think by looking at it. And after a few runs on clay roads, I think this is a shoe best used on pavement.The energy return system works best at high tempo training speed, though is more responsive than the Pro 2, which really only shines at race pace. I would compare it with the Hoka Carbon X’s response.Sizing;I usually run in a size 13 in Adidas and, in spite of some comments on the web, found 13 fit perfectly. The toe box is quite wide for an Adidas shoe.Conclusion:I am impressed with the Boston 10, especially at the price. They pair with the Pro 2 very well, and seem an ideal symbiotic rotation. And the red/blue colours remind me of my Adidas sneakers from the 70s.
I've been buying and wearing Adidas running shoes for a long time, mainly because the Adidas last fits my feet well. Unusually and unpleasantly, both sides of the tongue on this shoe is attached back to the heel with a strap. Although the strap is elastic, it does not stretch much, making the shoe very difficult and uncomfortable to put on and take off, the former especially. I recommend you not buy this model if you have large feet, as do I.
Worst running shoe I've ever had. Wore them around to break them in for a few hours. First run was 10km easy and they became more and more uncomfortable in the arch. When I took them off I could swear I had plantar fasciitis. I'm not sure if the plastic rods extend to the heals or if they push up on the arch? Much prefer Hoka Carbon X. I'd guess anything with a plate is going to work better than rods.
