Tracksmith Eliot Ryder Review: A High Cushion Shoe in Disguise
Shoe and Gear Reviews

The adidas Adizero Boston 13 embodies the energy and excitement you’d expect to feel after lining up on race day. Lace-up the new, engineered mesh upper to experience the lightweight fit that securely wraps your foot, allowing you to stay focused on your run. Another update to the Boston 13 is an extra 13.8% Lightstrike Pro in the midsole, giving you more of adidas best-in-class foam for enhanced responsiveness and cushioning.
Incorporated into the midsole you’ll find adidas EnergyRods 2.0, helping to limit energy loss while also adding a little extra pop to each stride. The adidas Boston 13 is a high performance trainer that works well for uptempo training runs, longer runs, and can even be utilized on race day. Made with at least 20% recycled materials, adidas is doing its part to reduce waste and lower its overall carbon footprint.

I have been wearing Boston Boosts since they were called that—my first pair was for a marathon in 2013. They’ve gone through many changes since then. I love the way Adidas holds my feet, and I watched a review on these because I liked the 12s too. (11s, not so much) They fixed the stiff upper of the 12, so the 13 has a little more padding whereas the 12 sometimes cut under my ankle. The 13 is a little lighter, and a little faster. It feels more responsive. No break-in time was necessary for me. I wore them in a local 5-miler after wearing them once and ran a 7:06 pace—not bad for an old lady. I would (and will) buy these again.
