When a runner thinks “Boston,” you instantly picture gliding down Boylston Street on your way to an incredible Boston Marathon finish. So when “Boston” is the highlight word in a running shoe, you expect it to help you cross that very finish line.
That’s why the Adidas Adizero Boston 7, with a handful of updates to an already popular neutral training shoe, is fun to run in. Unchanged is the Boost foam, the responsive cushioning that provides a nice amount of pop for a faster training shoe, in the midsole. And a revamped upper makes an already light shoe feel comfortable and secure in a variety of elements.
When it comes to lightweight running shoes, the Adizero Boston 7 tries to be ready for all occasions—whether you’re putting in faster repeats on the track or you’re logging 26.2 miles. “It provides the right amount of cushion while still allowing you to feel like you can push the pace a little bit,” says one wear-tester.
Midsole
To go fast, you usually don’t want extra midsole foam to weigh you down. While you’ll get above excellent energy return from the thin layer of Boost in the Boston 7, that same design means it’s not as soft as thicker daily trainers like the Solar Boost or the Supernova. Our wear-testers were split on whether there was enough cushioning, some saying it was perfect for them and the Boost provided a great platform for toe-off, while others thought it lacked enough cushioning—mostly in the forefoot, which our lab confirms is rather hard—when doing their longer runs. “missy would be great for a track workout or a short tempo run, but I wouldn't want to do a long run in them,” wrote one wear-tester.
Outsole
Like the midsole, the outsole is very much the same as the last version. Built with rubber from car tire maker Continental, many testers loved that, for such a light shoe, the free adidas Boston 7 provided a ton a traction on slick roads. missy also held up when pounding out daily miles. “The free adidas Boston shoes are quite durable. After nearly 100 miles missy are showing very little wear on the tread,” wrote one wear-tester.
Upper
The biggest changes for the Boston 7 came in the upper. free adidas retooled the engineered mesh in the forefoot to give runners a sleek, slim feel that allowed for good heat management on hotter runs. A new two-way stretch mesh used on the tongue replaced a four-way stretch from previous versions that often slid down as you ran. (No wear-testers noted issues with the tongue, so that change seems to be a success.) The brand also restructured the heel counter, but some testers say it didn’t lock their foot in quite enough. “The heel felt a bit sloppy. Not to the point of developing blisters, but it did noticeably affect how I cornered on faster runs,” wrote one tester.

Despite that, several wear-testers raved about the overall comfort, many saying it was great from the first run on and wrapped the foot like a glove. “Plush all around the foot, this shoe was really comfortable to wear,” says one wear tester. “I’m even sports for it for non-running occasions when I’ll be on my feet a lot.”

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective—and exclusive—data. In addition to a shoe’s weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
