Adidas Boston 12 Review: Decent But Unremarkable

The Boston 12 aims for the tempo training market but falls short of expectations with inconsistent performance.

3/5
Overall Rating

Tempo Training Attempt

Adidas positions this as a tempo trainer, but the Lightstrike Pro foam feels less responsive than expected for this category.

Fit and Feel

The upper fits well and the Continental rubber provides good traction, but the overall package feels ordinary.

Competition Comparison

At $140, there are better options available from other brands in this price range.

Pros

  • Good upper fit
  • Continental rubber outsole
  • Decent build quality

Cons

  • Underwhelming foam
  • Not particularly fast feeling
  • Better alternatives exist
