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.

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.

This is my first pair of shoes with the carbon plate technology and they seem great so far (after wearing for a few long threshold runs). They are light and springy, with a comfortable upper. The tongue is short but it doesn't bother me.Sizing is consistent with other adidas that I have.
For looks and styling. The Adidas Boston 10 is the part. Contemporary with a nice colour way, in my opinion. For its purpose? Love the cushioning and comfort. Lots of technology is packed into the shoe. Extremely comfortable to wear. One criticism of the shoe? Adidas are rightfully moving toward sustainability and as such? Are using more and more recyclable materials. This does make their products feel not very premium. And more broadly: items that are made from recyclable materials dont last as long. In the main. The shoe is very good.
I've been wearing the Adizero Boston size 10.5 for about 10 years. I liked them because they were more like sneakers and not the typical running shoe. The new design is a much larger (and weighs more too) shoe which I don't like because I wear a big shoe size.For running, I always wear a half size larger and it works for me. These shoes were also ordered as a 10.5 - my non running shoe size is a 10.
I used to run the Bostons years ago until I ended up with a stress fracture in my foot. I switched to more cushioned shoes after that. When I saw adidas changed the Bostons to be more cushioned, I decided to go back to them, and they are perfect for me when running long distances. My feet don't hurt after 20+ miles. I did have to adjust the lacing to reduce pressure on the top of my foot, but I've had to do that with several shoe brands.
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 ... MoreAdidas took a chance in so drastically changing a much loved shoe. But I think they did a great job.

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.
