Adizero Boston - Conclusion Review

This conclusion review should have been made a few months back, or a few days after my break-in activity for the shoe. But I thought that the 3 days break-in review or a total mileage of 20 kilometers may not be enough for me to get to experience the full capability and features of the Adizero Boston. So I decided to extend my shoe review, up until I get to pound it for a decent distance.

As of this writing, the shoe have already completed a total mileage of 299.82 kilometers or 187.38 miles, which includes all my practice/training runs since January 18, 2010, and actual races ranging from 3km. up to 21km. distance. Now I'm also including my own observations and experience with the shoe as my feet pounds through the road together with the Adizero Boston.

Pros:
  1. Very lightweight
  2. Encourages mid-foot striking
  3. Easily dries up even indoors
  4. No tight feeling after an intense run
  5. No feet soreness after a long run up to 21km
  6. Doesn't stink, no bad odors after each run nor even after a long period of without washing
  7. Mesh construction keeps the air flowing inside while running
  8. A good running shoe for 15k distance or below (I manage to race it for up to 21k due to my light and small physique -- 110 lbs.)
  9. Outer sole doesn't easily get worned-out
  10. Soft inner-sole rubber, yet durable material and construction
Cons:
  1. Not recommended for heavy runners running longer than 10k distance
  2. Not enough reflectors for a safe evening run
Enjoy some photos of my runs with the Adizero Boston.
