Product Information

You should also note your feet type, whether you have flat feet, average arch sizes, or high arches, as this can help you make a better choice when shopping online. Frequently Asked Questions Can the same type of shoes fit differently? Mileage is the main factor for determining if your running shoes need replacement. A good rule is replacing it once you hit 300-500 miles. All brands fit differently and use varying technologies and innovations to develop their running shoes. You should always consider comfort and fit. Fit and Gait The first Boston 8 version (with Lightstrike) had the shallowest internal volume of any shoe I’ve put on my foot in a long time. And even for my narrow foot, the toe box was so darn crammed, my feet would fall asleep on a run. However, the second version of the Boston 8 with just Boost fit fine. No clue how that fit got so bad in literally 6 months. But hang on here.

This may not be the best pair of shoes for beginners, as it offers less support and spring. People with specific foot and ankle support needs should consult an expert before buying lightweight shoes. Motion Control ShoesDuring my training I thought Boston 9 was perfect for racing and intervals and for short races. And even if its said to be able to handle races as far as marathons, I wouldn´t go quite that far. Personally I would miss more comfort just because I know how hard the last 8-10km of a marathon can be. The outsole, midsole, and cushioning all contribute to what environment a running shoe works well in. The outsole is where the rubber and the road meet, providing stability by matching your footprint. Personally, I feel that Boston is a daily trainer. I don’t tend to train in anything over 10 oz. as is, and there are far faster workout day shoes hanging around. For others, including athletes I coach, the Boston is just like how Adi markets it. A nice, up-tempo trainer that can be also raced at the full and half mary distances. I’ve seen a ton of success from athletes working out and racing in this model as well. Your running shoes are an investment, so test them before buying. If you buy them from a shop, you should ask to test them on a treadmill to see how they fit. But having said that, it has a great touch with the surface and great control when you turn corners, change direction or run on more wet surfaces.

These shoes are great for running on pavement or asphalt. The sole is made to grip asphalt or smooth surfaces, which is great for long-distance marathons. How to Choose the Best Runnings Shoes Where you run is also pretty important. For example, people who run on rougher trails may need to replace their shoes faster than people who do pavement or treadmill running. Shoes with maximum cushion can feel like you are running on a cloud. But those without cushioning help you stay connected to the ground.If you have tried the previous version of the Boston-model, you will notice that Boston 9 has been designed with a new upper which is lighter and provides a great fit. You need to consider what’s more comfortable for both occasions. Long-distance running requires more cushioning to help the athlete feel comfortable. The midsole is a winning combination of Lightstrike foam that has been touted by some and doubted by others (including Dave and I after reviewing the SL20 recently) and the already proven Boost cushioning used in previous Boston editions. DAVE: One of the smoothest shoes around right now. Perfect for all types of runners and gaits. As a coach who also used to teach biomechanical clinics around the country, I can tell you the Boston 9 is a great exploration for the runner looking to improve some mechanics in a safe and natural way. It creates a nice forward lean, and with a nice snappy toe-off, gives a good amount of the required knee lift and drive to make those runs feel like you’re rolling through Eldoret. Well maybe not, but you know what I mean. Sizing can be altered by materials and function. A shoe designed for treadmill running may be less snug than a trail shoe even when they are the same size.
