Thanks for the review! I'd be interested in your thoughts on how the adidas adizero shoes in your collection (like the SL20, Adios 5, Boston 9 and Pro) differ and how you have used them in your shoe rotation? For example, did you find one particular shoe to be particularly good for one type of run or was one shoe particularly bad at any types of runs.
Thanks Nehal for this comment, a really great though that I can try to open up in a video. I'll be sure to address this at some point. Thanks for sharing :)))
I'm so addicted to the Bostons. Started with 1 pair and loved it so much that i bought another 2 pairs and they have become my sole road running shoes. Short, long, slow, fast they can do everything. And they're so protective for such a low stack height. 30 kms no problems, no pain under the metas whatsoever
This was a great video. I love my Adidas Boston 8. I PRd in them on the 10k and the half. They are petty destroyed now and I was wondering if I should get the 9. Also, from one youtuber to another, I loved how you filmed this video
Thanks so much Suzy! I was lucky to be able to film it at work, nice to mix things up. I'll have to try and get a PR in them also :) Yet to watch your latest video, but I hope you're feeling better!
I love my blue B8's too, but they are really narrow (despite a half size up!). I have taken time in the store to compare mine 8 with the 9. Wow, the 9 are really improved, fit like a glove. No need to size up. So, I didn't get them yet (that pink...;) but I am patient.
Even though this shoe ultimately proved too challenging for me, I'm glad I discovered your channel. I like that your videos aren't just endless shoe/gear reviews, but are mostly useful videos about actually running!
I really loved this comment that you shared. Thanks for taking the time to write it. I say this because I am trying to plan what I want to do this year in regards to running and adventures... also for UA-cam, and this was a great reminder of just to share things. So thanks, hope you have a great start to 2021 :)
The Bostons have been my go to tempo/speedwork shoe for a long time. Im still working through my stockpile of 8's but by spring I should be able to crack open my 9's to give them a go.
Thanks for this. Can't make my mind up between Boston and Adios 5 for general running up to 10k. Mainly for training (getting back into running) - what would you recommend?
If you haven't run in the adios 5's before I'd recommend the Boston's, they have the same feeling but Boston has a bit less harsh of a slap when you land. Also if it is going to be your shoe for general running, I would be happy to run 70% of my runs in the boston, but maybe not adios. These of course are my opinions :)
Hi Marc, this is my daily training shoe, I'm running with the 8 now due to the reason that the 9 was not available when I had the need of a new daily training shoe, and actually was a really good deal. Actually a great daily training shoe because the boost
I tried a pair of these on at my local store the other day and they feel great. I’m not going to pick them up now because I just bought 2 other pairs of shoes online recently and have like 8 pairs in my rotation now... also they are still very pricey here, so I’ll wait until there’s a deal on.
hehe, yes sounds like you have enough shoes to rotate through at the moment. Hope that means we are getting some more reviews from you. yeah just wait for the Boston 10 to be released :)
@@runningwithmarc other than the Kinvara 11s I bought new in August, I’ve been sticking with sales/clearance pricing on all my purchases so that means a year or 2 old model. It also means shoes for $50-70 CAD, so can’t complain haha. I’ll likely still do a review on these shoes but it’ll be mostly for anyone looking to snag a pair cheap while they can still buy them.
faster pacing and track runs yes, longer fast runs maybe not so much.... I mean it also depends what you are used to running in and your conditioning, for most, I'd say maybe something with a bit more cushioning for the longer efforts.
The Boston 9 is probably the shoe I should have bought instead of the SL20 (version 1) and Atreyu standard, when I was curious about firmer EVA soles vs Boost. But my aging joints and firm EVA soles don't get along well. Although between the two -- SL20 and Atreyu -- combining the best of both might have suited me better. The Atreyu pushes up against the outer edge of my foot, leading to pain around the ankle after 3 miles or more. And it's much too wide for my narrow A/B width feet. But the Atreyu drop (6mm rather than the usual 9-10mm with adidas) and lack of outsole rubber make the Atreyu more comfortable to me, especially on gravel and chipseal pavement. But the SL20 upper is nicer and the narrow fit suits my narrow feet. I just dislike the excessive (to me) drop, too-hard outsole, and harsh heel-to-midfoot transition of the SL20. The SL20 is a good looking, well fitted shoe, just not fun for me to run in. Basically, since I already like the Solar Boost and have put a lot of miles on that pair without pain (Boost is very forgiving for a heel striker like me), I should have gotten the Boston 9 or even 8 if I was curious about the feel of a firmer EVA mid/forefoot sole. Run and learn, I reckon. Good review. Enjoyed the shoe flip outtakes!
Really awesome of you to take the time to share, I' sure this comment can help many others, so thanks for that. I had the SL20, I liked it, but as soon as I got the Boston 9, I stopped running in the SL20 as the Boston was just so much better in many ways. I used to not like higher dropped shoes, but now if the shoe is like a Boston or Adios, I like the higher drop, if it was a Hoka with high drop I wouldn't like it, I feel where I strike/land with Adidas shoes, so my running gait has improved. Well this is for me. :)
After watching other reviews of both versions of the SL20, it may be a problem with the harsher heel to forefoot transition caused by the outsole shape and torsion plate in the first generation SL20. One reviewer noted that the revised "SL20.2" (I think adidas just calls both the SL20, at least on the shoe markings) eliminated the torsion plate, has a more seamless heel/forefoot transition, and more comfortable ride for easy paces despite being a bit heavier. Forefoot strikers might not even notice the transition quality I've noticed. I'll need to try the SL20 on the local track where I can manage to run on the forefoot for short distances, up to 400 yards at most. Most of my other shoes also have a 9-10mm drop and feel fine.
I haven't been running in Adidas shoes for a long time, but I decided to give the Adios Pro a try. I was so pleased by the fit and performance that I took advantage of a sensational 52% off to get me a pair of SL20 too. Now your fine review definitely convinced me to buy also the Boston 9 (80.5 euros/free shipping !!) to complete my lineup. Thank you very much ! (BTW, Boston 9 + SL20 will cost me few cents less than the full retail price of the former, which is nice...)
I actually spent few euros more to have the black/green colorway, which I liked more. Anyway a great price, at almost 38% discount rate. I just viewed your SL20 review, and based on your opinion I'm now pretty sure I'll greatly enjoy both ! The SL20 are expected to be delivered tomorrow, while the Boston 9 on Monday
I have a pair of Boston 7s, which I really enjoy for 5K -10K tempo efforts. They are holding up really well. I'm curious about how they compare to the 9s with the lightstrike. I think I'll buy a pair. Great review!
Cheers Guy, yes I would love to try some of the older versions so I could share my thoughts on previous generations of the shoes, as I am sure that there is a different feeling. I've seen some good deals on various sites, so I'm sure you'll find something good.
@@runningwithmarc I just bought a pair of Boston 9s (same colorway as yours) for $55 from Jackrabbit. I don't know if you can order from that site where you are, but I figured I'd pass the information to you in case you can.
Thanks for the review! 😊 About the tongue on these shoes, in Eddbuds review he had to put laces through the tongues to get them from rolling down. 😅 I'm sure to pick these up some time, went with SL20 because got them for 75€ on discount. Why are you rocking to watches? 🤭 Cheers! - Nico
Hey Nico, thanks for sharing that, are you enjoying running in the SL20's? 75 euros is a super good price for what I think is a good shoe. I work at Suunto and testing some watches :))))) Marc
@@runningwithmarc Loving the SL20´s! :) Just got 100km in them. Been my daily trainer for on the road. I think i´ll get the Boston 9:s from discout for my rotation. :) They stopped making the SL20 but heard that that SL20.2 is coming! ;)
hello I am a runners height 1.84 for kg 70 at the moment I use Nike Pegasus 37 for cross-country training I'm looking for a shoe for fartlek and repeated and possibly some 10k races and half marathons rhythms around 4:15 km I would like to know your opinion, I'm undecided among these Adidas Boston 9 and Asics novablast
So we are roughly the same weight/height, I think the Bostons would be a great shoe for what you want it for. BUT..... it is not like the peg 37's, and I would probably say the basics nova blasts are more like the peg 37's as they have way more cushioning, so if that is important or what you want, then maybe they would be better.
Great vid Marc! Love the shoe. I wish they move 1 mm of boost from back to forefoot. And split the heel counter so it's not right on the achilles tendon.
Ahhhh I was waiting for your comment :D, great to hear you enjoyed it. I don't find the heel counter to be too big or an issue, but we are all different. It would be a nice thought with that boost. Hope you're doing well.
@@runningwithmarc All well, but I've been having some issues after my HM and 10 000m (within 5 days, phew). HR still quite high on easy runs, but patience is a virtue and I'm practicing it right now. Hopefully back inte ok shape soon. Did a 23 K today, with last 6 at 4.00 without it being hard, so that's a good sign! Cheers!
It certainly sounds like a great shoe. I don’t think I’ll be able to get to a shop to try some on for a good number of weeks now but I think the Adidas line up might be worth a look
Hi Marc, I bought the Boston 9(similar color at only $ 60!!), and have already run with them about 50 km, indeed a fun and fast shoe. The problem is that I have a hot spot on the top of the tongue in right foot , which bothers and hurts. so frustrating :-)
Just got one here in Brazil. Incredibly hard to find with discount here, after I got a great deal in the sl20 and loved it, more than even the Pegasus 37 or the turbo 2, the Boston 9 was a no Brainer.
Found a pair for 30 dollars at Ross. Great shoe. I’d pay 80 for them if I had too. First west and run and didn’t even need to break in. Just ran 4 miles in them. A1
Hey Yaki, nice to hear, I was just running 13km in them myself and I was thinking, these are really great and multi-purpose :)))) great minds think a like :)
100% the Boston 9, way more versatile, better overall comfort and value for money. I think the SL20 is almost the same, just no boost and the SL20 has 'cheaper materials'. (sounds like I'm throwing a lot of shame to the SL20, I'm not just trying to be as true as possible, SL20 is still a great shoe if it fits well on your foot.)
Hi Marc thanks a lot for the review. iI’m having a hard time choosing between Boston 8 and Boston 9. I have had a pair of 8 and went on pretty well. What do you reckon is 9 better than the 8? Plan to do a half marathon and a marathon later this year. Thanks a lot for the thoughts and kind regards 👍
Hey Alex, sorry for the late response, I've never run in the 8, but I've heard from some people that I know, that they enjoyed the 9 just as much as the 8. and I love the 9's. I hope that helps.
@@runningwithmarc thank a lot for the response Marc 😊 that’s great, I’ve got one pair of 9’s on the way to me and will be with me just in time for the upcoming half. have a great day 👍
Hi mark do u run on forefoot in these shoes and how these shoes are for long runs im always try to run on forefoot and midfoot..and in a run in almost cover 10 to 15 Kms are these shoes good for my running style?
Hey, I can't fully say if they are good for your running style, as I haven't seen that. but in terms of what you said, I really like these shoes as they feel great when you land in the mid foot area, and thats why I also like the adios range. So to me, sounds like it could be. I really like these Boston 9's and still on of my favourite shoes to run in now.
@@runningwithmarc alright.. thank u soo much for ur help and reply..i got the adidas boston 9..i only had 1 doubt..am i supposed to put laces from inside the shoe tounge too if i want a more snug fit?i think the shoes maybe just a bit roomy on toes but i really have no idea becos its the first shoe i have worn by seeing the sizing video from.ur channel they have a bit room on toes ..and i had no idea about the shoe sizing cos my last shoe was very tight..so the roomy feel on the toe is something new for me and i havent ran.in them yet also..so i wanted to ask are the holes on the shoe tounge also meant to put laces from inside them?
@@ilupillu4915 Hey, I don't fully understand what you mean about the laces inside them!.... ok I went to look at my shoes, no them holes on the tongue are just for breathability, so no need to put the laces through them. It's fine and probably good to have some space at the toes area. Only bad if your foot slides forwards (when laced up) and you have space behind the heel. Hope that helps :)
Great review! To be honest I have never given Adidas shoes much attention. but I keep hearing about these Boston 9's so I've been getting all the info I can. I did notice they are all just about sold out (Jan 2021) everywhere. What gives. Supply problems or replacing them with a Boston 10?
lol, it kinda does feel like advertising hey, but it's just a nice meeting room :D well better than my living room. Although I wouldn't want to live in the meeting room :)

Fantastic review and very well filmed! The Boston line has been so popular, so it’s good to hear your positive take on them!
Cheers Matt! It does seem so that it is popular among many.
This color too bad ，why there are some green.?
Hey Mark, have you seen the leaks for the Boston 10?
Hey no I haven't seen that, would be interesting to see what's coming!
Here is a link to my review of the Boston 7 vs Boston 8.
ua-cam.com/video/IY1lgs2Cn9U/v-deo.html
Have the pink ones. Love them. Great shoes.
Indeed they are, another longer run in them today for me :)
@@runningwithmarc the black/green colour way is awesome. I think I’m going to get them too.
The Bostons have been my go to tempo/speedwork shoe for a long time. Im still working through my stockpile of 8's but by spring I should be able to crack open my 9's to give them a go.
Sounds like a good plan Andreas, and by that time they should be well discounted :)
It took a year for these to arrive here in Australia, too.
Hmmm, great shoe when they finally arrived. hopefully it won't be the same with future iterations.

I have the same issue with the tongue on the right shoe only.

@@ilupillu4915 Hey, I don't fully understand what you mean about the laces inside them!.... ok I went to look at my shoes, no them holes on the tongue are just for breathability, so no need to put the laces through them. It's fine and probably good to have some space at the toes area. Only bad if your foot slides forwards (when laced up) and you have space behind the heel. Hope that helps :)
Nice review! Are they true to size?
They are across the Adidas shoes I have had (adios, Boston, sl20, pro), and thanks :)
@@runningwithmarc Thank you :)
Great review! To be honest I have never given Adidas shoes much attention. but I keep hearing about these Boston 9's so I've been getting all the info I can. I did notice they are all just about sold out (Jan 2021) everywhere. What gives. Supply problems or replacing them with a Boston 10?
I think I saw a prototype of the Boston 10, but with the internet you never know 'was it real' :)
I’ve been pronouncing adidas wrong this whole time. 👍 well not the correct way at least. Now I know.
I think they say it different in the states and some different countries. quite funny :)
Fantastic in depth review. I love your level of detail and subtle Suunto advertising...
lol, it kinda does feel like advertising hey, but it's just a nice meeting room :D well better than my living room. Although I wouldn't want to live in the meeting room :)
