Who should buy
Consider choosing the Adidas Estos zapatos adidas para niños lucen una estructura deportiva y versátil if you:
- adidas nebzed shoes scarlet mens
- Are looking for a durable shoe that can handle races and don't mind it being heavier than racing shoes
- adidas harden vol 2 light grey white shoes best price
Who should NOT buy
If you prefer plush or even moderately soft foams, we suggest staying away from the Boston 11. The same advice goes for those in search of flexible running shoes, as this one leans towards firmness and rigidity with its Energyrods.
zapatillas de running Adidas constitución media apoyo talón talla 20 Yeezy Hit With New Lawsuit and Tax Liens. It's a fast-and-light daily trainer that comfortably handles a wide range of speeds. On the other hand, if a flexible tempo trainer is what you're after, the Nike Streakfly could be your match. It's fast, agile, and incredibly soft while maintaining excellent flexibility.
Cushioning
Heel stack
With a stack height height of 39.1 mm, the Boston 11 just falls within the World Athletics regulation of 40 mm, making it a legal shoe for racing.
We think it's a good option for almost any heel striker that seeks a high-yet-stable shoe, but it's not a great competition shoe, though.

Estos zapatos adidas para niños lucen una estructura deportiva y versátil | 39.1 mm |
Average | 34.2 mm |
Forefoot stack
There's also a significant level of cushioning in the forefoot of the shoe, as our precise measurements reveal it to be 29.3 mm.

Estos zapatos adidas para niños lucen una estructura deportiva y versátil | 29.3 mm |
Average | 25.6 mm |
Drop
This leads to a drop that's typical for Adidas shoes—at 9.8 mm.
So, even though the brand's official numbers indicates an 8.5 mm drop, we discovered it to be slightly steeper. This feature makes the shoe particularly well-suited for heel strikers, as a higher heel-to-toe drop facilitates the transition towards the midfoot and forefoot.

Midsole softness
The Adidas Boston 11 makes use of two distinct foams:
- Lightstrike is a standard EVA foam that, to us, feels notably firm. It doesn't have much bounce, but it does contribute to a stable ride.
- Lightstrike Pro, on the other hand, is the premier foam in Adidas' arsenal, boasting impressive energy return.
We clocked the hardness of Lightstrike at 22.0 HA, but it felt significantly firmer to us during our test runs.
That's because Lightstrike is renowned for having a really long break-in period, so expect a very firm ride for a while.

Average | 20.9 HA |
кеди adidas grand court eg5135
Lightstrike Pro is the secondary foam that Adidas employs to inject this shoe with bounce, energy return, and speed.
Even though we measured its hardness at 23.5 HA, which is technically firmer than Lightstrike, it felt quite the opposite to us. We loved Lightstrike Pro in the Adidas Men Superstar blue tactile blue core black footwear white and, in fact, the AP2 it's a better choice if you care about energy return and don't mind the inevitable downgrade in durability.

Midsole softness in cold (%)
We gave the 11th version of the Boston a brief, 20-minute stint in the freezer before testing it again. After this cold-exposure test, we found the Lightstrike foam to measure 29.5 HA.
That's a jump of 34.1% from its normal state. It's not as good as the typical shoe, but that makes sense considering EVA foam never do well in cold temperatures.

Insole thickness
To offset the weight from its thick midsole, as we mentioned before, we noticed in the lab that Adidas has used a few clever methods.
That's why the insole is leaner than those found in most other running shoes on the market.

Size and fit
Size
Adidas Estos zapatos adidas para niños lucen una estructura deportiva y versátil is true to size (23 votes).
Toebox width - widest part
Following our field testing and precise measurements of the upper, we're can confirm that the Boston 11 is an excellent, roomy choice for those with wide feet. Thumbs up for those 103.7 mm!

Toebox width - big toe
There's even more good news for those of us blessed (?) with wide feet.
From our in-depth evaluations, we can confidently affirm that the Boston 11 is an excellent fit for those whose toes do not have significant size variation, such as those with Celtic, German, or Roman foot shapes—forming a near-perfect match.

Toebox feel
Sporting a thick midsole, we quickly realised we were dealing with a chunky shoe. Adidas tried to lighten the load with a simpler upper design, but it wasn't enough.
Disappointingly, the shoe still tips the scale over the mental barrier of 10 oz—it weighs in at 10.2 oz or 290g. Let's hope that Adidas improves this issue in the Boston 12.

Stability
Lateral stability test
Despite its significant stack height, we find the Boston 11 surprisingly stable.
Torsional rigidity
This stability is due to its carbon plate, Adidas' fibreglass Energyrods, and the firm foam we mentioned earlier.
That's also why we rated this shoe at 4/5 in our torsional rigidity test. It really felt stiff to us.

The same principle applies to the heel counter. Adidas is simply making an effort to increase stability, offsetting the high-stack height's potential side-effects.

Midsole width - forefoot

This measurement is less than what we initially anticipated for this shoe, but it still provides enough stability for runners who land on their midfoot or forefoot, even in the fastest tempo runs.

Estos zapatos adidas para niños lucen una estructura deportiva y versátil | 109.3 mm |
Average | 114.1 mm |
Midsole width - heel
The heel tells a similar tale. Once again, it seems like Adidas prioritised weight savings. If they had made the shoe as wide as the average training shoe, it could have ended up 10% or 20% heavier.
The narrower design could potentially compromise the shoe's stability and comfort for some heel strikers.

By now, it's clear that we're dealing with a stiff shoe. However, we really LOVE testing shoes in our lab and wanted to put a number on it.

We also put the shoe's stiffness to the test after a freezer-cooling session, just like we did for the midsole softness.
The EVA-based Lightstrike foam, once again, showed significant change under cold conditions. This time, we recorded a stiffer reading of 50.1N.

Вітровка adidas terex | Breathability
The Boston 11 handles summer runs without a hitch. The moment we got our hands on the shoe and felt the upper with our fingers, we were impressed by its thin, breathable engineered mesh.
Despite this, we didn't give it a full 5/5 score in our jaw-dropping smoke test—we settled for a 4. You might be wondering why—the reason lies with the shoe's tongue.
While the toebox plays a crucial role in breathability, ecstasy can arise if other parts of the shoe don't allow for heat and humidity to escape.
Though the medial part of the Boston 11 offers sufficient breathability—a fact confirmed by our light test—the tongue could potentially be a problem on the hottest days.
Even so, when it comes to breathability, let us be clear: this shoe is superb—99% of runs should pose no problem.
Our observations in the lab reinforced our initial impressions. Under the microscope, we found a strikingly thin mesh—a true testament to precise manufacturing—that allowed for extraordinary airflow.

Durability
Toebox durability
The Boston 11 employs an engineered mesh that exhibits outstanding breathability, as we've previously noted. However, this material falls short when it comes to durability—it's highly susceptible to wear and tear.
Our dremel test, which applies a force of 3.4N for four seconds to every shoe in the lab, really put the Boston 11 through the wringer. The hyper-thin layer of mesh offered almost no resistance at all.
We strongly believe Adidas could up their game in this regard in the v12. Of course, a thinner mesh typically has less robustness compared to a thicker one, but consider the adidas yeezy 2021 restocks rest of the year. This model also sports a thin, competition-focused and breathable layer, yet it doesn't compromise on durability.

Luckily, the Boston 11's heel padding is really great. This is good news for runners who often wear holes in this area.
Our tough Dremel test on the soft fabric that Adidas uses in this area showed it holds up really well.

Outsole hardness
A standout feature of Adidas's Continental rubber is its exceptional grip, even though it's a hard compound.
This is a rare quality, as most brands need to use softer rubber to ensure a good level of traction. Adidas and Continental shine in this unique, hard-yet-grippy approach.

Outsole durability
We put our trusty Dremel to work once more—this time on the outsole—and found only a minimal 0.74 mm wear in the rubber. This is an excellent result pointing to the shoe's long-term durability.
This shoe truly stands the test of time.

Outsole thickness
With a thickness of 3.3 mm, the rubber on the shoe is pretty standard, but it's so sturdy that you're likely to wear out many other parts of the shoe before the outsole.

Misc
Reflective elements
Adidas maintains its track record of omitting reflective elements from its running shoes. Although they've stayed consistent with their design approach, it's disappointing and concerning for us, particularly from a safety perspective.
Night runners really need those reflective components for increased visibility. We certainly hope Adidas revisits this aspect in the Boston 12.

Tongue padding
We found the tongue padding to measure 4.1 mm. This is a surprisingly pleasant result, particularly for a shoe that's specifically designed for tempo runs.

Tongue: gusset type
The Boston 11 features a fully-gusseted tongue that improves the fit and prevents internal movements.
Although we might have preferred a semi-gusseted design for a more balanced feel, we're fine with this setup.

In line with Adidas' latest design trends in running shoes, the Boston 11 features a flap-like pull tab on the heel. This serves two purposes—it makes slipping your foot into the shoe easier and adds a unique aesthetic touch.
