From the Start Line to the Finish: A Look at Adidas Boston Running Shoes with Seth James DeMoor
0 comments
Renowned running enthusiast and content creator Seth James DeMoor recently took to his YouTube channel to discuss the evolution of the Adidas Boston running shoes. In a video filled with informed insights, DeMoor traverses the development from the Boston 9 model, which he nostalgically praises, through to the latest iteration, the Boston 11. Not one to rest on past experiences, DeMoor remarks on his eagerness to test the Boston 12 when it becomes available, anticipating its impact on the market as well as the potential price drop for its predecessor, the Boston 11, which is already expected to become more affordable for budget-conscious runners.
DeMoor conducts a thorough examination of the Adidas Boston 11, detailing technical aspects from its aggressive drop and stack height to its neutral daily trainer classification. He elaborates on the midsole rods designed for an enhanced run, comparatively weighing the shoe as quite heavy. Despite this, the creator suggests possible uses for the shoe such as long runs or tempo days, while voicing a clear preference for a standard lightweight mesh through the upper. The critique continues, pinpointing discomfort in the heel counter and collar, marking a stark contrast to other models that offer more comfort in these areas.
As the review unfolds, DeMoor expresses his confusion over Adidas' decision to include rods within a heavy shoe, questioning the logic given the alternatives available in the market that offer a lighter ride. However, he notes improvement over the Boston 10 model, stating the midsole offers a better feel despite still falling short of enthusiasm. DeMoor also comments on the substantial outsole rubber which, while providing excellent grip, contributes to the shoe's heft. Addressing the fit and comfort, DeMoor doesn't mince words, giving a mediocre score. In terms of durability, however, he acknowledges the shoe can endure the mileage, pointing out that heavier runners have expressed a liking for the model, reminding viewers that shoe experience can be subjective based on a runner's build.
