I’ve used this shoe for everything, at the start used it for long runs around 4:50 to 4:30 per km, and it was ok, the I used it for tempo and threshold around 3:30 to 3:40 per km and it was better, I also have been using it for faster stuff 3:00 to 2:50 per km and it’s been great, you can feel how it helps u giving you more energy, but I agree, it’s too heavy, I prefer it for tempo and lactate runs
Great informative review, so glad you reviewed them in isolation as a Boston 10 and not comparing it with the previous Boston models. Easy to see why other reviews compare them as this probably should be in a different range... Thanks, going for my first run in mine today.
First Bostons for me. I got the Nike ZoomX Invincible as a (slow) daily trainer, but started to dislike them soon after the first "wow-feeling". Felt super-wobbly, And I got a strange calf injury running in them. Reading/watching reviews for the Boston 10 was a bit depressing, but when I saw that Green-Yellow and blue colorway, I knew I had to give them a try. :-) Very happy. I really like the underfoot feel, and they just oozes quality.
I’m glad you gave them a go even though a lot of the reviews were not the best. Other than my review, I haven’t seen a mostly positive review about them. Oh, and your 100% right about the quality! 👊🏼
LOOOVE REVIEW!! 👍 Ive tried it on a couple of days ago on one foot and the Adios Pro 2 on the other! I was really surprised how the Boston 10s are forcing me to strike the ground with the forefoot while the Adios Pro 2 doing the same with a 2-fold magnitude prompting me thereby to buy the latter! Maybe ill get the Bostons too in near future.
This is high praise for the Bostons! Thanks for watching! The Boston 10s really are a great training shoe, and far less expensive than the Adios Pro 2s!
Matt, I actually bought the Boston 10 after you mentioned them in an earlier video and saw them on huge discount for around $100 on Cyber Monday. Everything you said is spot on. The last couple of times I’ve run in this shoe I’ve gotten a bit sore on my left foot. When I switch back to my Hoka Cliftons, I don’t have that foot issue. In fact, I ran in my Boston’s this morning for an 8 miler and have my final 20 mile long run tomorrow morning…my Christmas gift to myself! haha So, in a nutshell, I really enjoy the fit, feel and rise of the Boston but am curious about that foot soreness.
I'm curious about the foot issue too. Where on your foot is the discomfort? Enjoy those Christmas miles! It sounds like a great way to spend a few holiday hours!
Thank you for sharing!! Great review Matt!! I’ve been looking for another shoe. I have about 800 miles in my Pegasus 38. When will the Boston 11 come out.
I know this shoe got a lot of negative reviews. I own these and have a love/hate relationship with them. I guess I was initially upset they deviated so much from previous Boston’s. That being said, they grew on me over time.
This was my first pair of Bostons, so I couldn't compare them directly the the previous versions. There's something to be said for limiting our expectations. Because I had no expectations for this shoe, I really liked it for what it is from the beginning! I'm glad to hear this version has grown on you, Erik! I think it's a solid shoe!
To be honest, after more than 300km, I am still confused about this shoe. I am not sure I like it or hate it. I always have foot pain during the 1st few miles using this pair but then it would go away after that and felt quite nice actually. It is very heavy and rigid especially at long-runs after soaking all the sweat. And yet, I still want to take it out for my runs many a time. That's how I felt haha. But I won't buy another pair for sure.
That's actually an understandable description! It took a minute for me to actually enjoy the Boston 10, but then I wore it all the time! It just seemed to work in a lot of ways without making me think it's a great shoe! 🤣
Are you experiencing significant heel wear and tear? For example, inside the padding that covers your achilles. Nonetheless, it’s an amazing shoe! I’ve done some quick reps on the track and enjoy doing strides in them.
No, I'm not seeing any wear and tear in the padding near my Achilles! My pair seem to be holding up very well, but I do rotate them in with several pairs throughout the week. I think they feel good doing strides in too! It's surprising!
@@its_Matt_B_ nope, most ppl from ypu tube been complaining abt 10 on the right foot, even kofuzi complained too! Most comment section about the shoe! So i went to buy 11 then im experiencing d same problem!
It definitely has enough cushion to run a marathon, but I would probably choose something a little lighter. I have fairly normal arches, so it’s difficult for me to tell if it would be good for low/high arches. You could always make them work by putting an arch insert in it.
I can’t really give you recommendations for track shoes because I’m not a track runner. As far as road running shoes go, are you looking for anything in particular? A shoe for racing? A show for fast workouts? A long run/easy run shoe? An all rounder? Do you like shoes with a softer or a firmer ride?

It sounds like you've really tested this shoe! I remember being surprised at how well it let me run faster. I didn't expect it because of the weight!
I bought Boston 10 eight days ago. I have 140km in them, I am enjoying the shoe. I can't wait to run 90km Comrades Marathon on 28th August.
Wow! You’re really putting in the klicks! 👊🏽 It’s a solid shoe! Good luck at Comrades!! 💪🏽
@@its_Matt_B_ thank you so much

Thank you for sharing!! Great review Matt!! I’ve been looking for another shoe. I have about 800 miles in my Pegasus 38. When will the Boston 11 come out.
The Boston 10 was released last June, so we can probably expect around that time. The Pegasus 39 should be dropping soon too!
@@its_Matt_B_ thank you!! I’m excited for the Pegasus 39 to come out as well.
Bought at 97€. Broke down my 10k PB... I felt a little hard.. Would like a little more bouncy but I like the ride.
I know what you mean about them being a bit firm, but a little road feel can sometimes make us go faster, especially in shorter distances! 👊🏽

@@its_Matt_B_ One thing you can say about pretty much all Adidas running shoes is their build quality is supurb.

Can this replace the 1080v11 and Clifton for an easy day / long run shoe?
Yes, it would be a good choice for an easy/long shoe, however it is a little firmer than the 1080v11, so it it's not going to feel as soft underfoot.

Cheers for watching! 👊🏼
Thanks!
Cheers for watching, Giuseppe! Do you have the Boston 10s, or are you thinking about getting them?
Even Boston 11 still heavy n performs well, but my right foot hurts always
Had you run in the Boston 10 before getting the 11? I wonder what it is about that shoe that causes the pain. I doubt it’s the weight!
@@its_Matt_B_ nope, most ppl from ypu tube been complaining abt 10 on the right foot, even kofuzi complained too! Most comment section about the shoe! So i went to buy 11 then im experiencing d same problem!
@@skobodabaws8946 sorry to hear it. I didn’t experience those issues with my 10s.
Hi matt. Can this be used high and low arch foot for marathon? Thsnks

@@its_Matt_B_ hi much appreciate your feedback on this. Have you tried to review asic gel kayano 28 and saucony guide 15? For high and low arch?
@@chinitopogi7511 No. sorry. I haven’t run in either. I pay for 99% of the shoes I review so I tend to gravitate to what will work best for me. 👍🏽
Please suggest me the best shoes for both track and road running please
I can’t really give you recommendations for track shoes because I’m not a track runner.
As far as road running shoes go, are you looking for anything in particular? A shoe for racing? A show for fast workouts? A long run/easy run shoe? An all rounder? Do you like shoes with a softer or a firmer ride?
I want a shoes which is good for road race like 5km runs
Ya exactly all rounder which is completely fit for race days
@@popinasif266 Try the Boston 10 or the Nike Pegasus 38.
Does this shoe feel narrow in the toe box for you?
No, it's actually quite comfortable! Hokas are the most narrow feeling shoe I run in, but these are nothing like those!
is this suitable for treadmill ?
Yes! These will work well running on a treadmill!
Is it good for races like 5km ?
Yes, this would be a good shoe for 5ks. 👍🏽
How many miles or kms is durability of the shoes?
I kept them for about 400 miles.
@@its_Matt_B_ after that they were done? I used decathlon 30USD shoes for 1000miles. I am not wasting 100USD for 400miles
@@rm6857 No, that’s when I just rotated them out. I’m sure they could have been used for much much longer.
I also get this big fan from Nepal
Nice! It’s a great shoe! Thanks for being a part of the channel! 👊🏽
