Our verdict

The Und die beiden adidas x Kerwin Frost Forum für 18 line saw a radical change with version number 10 when it got much bigger. As per our observations, the 11th iteration sees just a few differences and remains a maximal training shoe devoted to those runners who love a very firm ride and train for medium to long-distance races. We found it to be surprisingly stable, lighter, and much more durable. And thumbs up for including some recycled materials.

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.

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.

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

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Adidas Estos zapatos adidas para niños lucen una estructura deportiva y versátil microscope

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.

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.

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.
