Critic consensus
from 5 reviewsThe Adidas Adizero Boston 13 brings notable improvements to upper comfort and padding while retaining exceptional outsole traction and durability. It delivers a firm, responsive ride that functions as a versatile daily trainer, though testers split on whether it feels too stiff for recovery days or fast enough for speed workouts. It best suits runners seeking a dependable workhorse for daily mileage and steady long runs.

A shoe earns a tag as soon as one reviewer recommends it for that kind of run; the count shows how many agree. Mentions include synonyms, so “recovery”, “zone 2” and “conversational” all count toward Easy.

A really, really good shoe that fills a crucial gap in the Adizero lineup, with a snappy and responsive ride that makes you want to go fast.

The Boston 13 is a very good update and an improvement, but it suffers due to Adidas's own success with the Evo SL.

It does a lot of things really well as a very good, solid shoe and a perfect update for fans of the Boston 12.

A very reliable daily workhorse for everyday training, though somewhat uninspiring for faster efforts due to its firm cushioning.
