The search term Boston shoes refers to two different types of product. On the one hand, there are Adidas Adizero Boston 13 running shoes for tempo runs, intensive training and race preparation. On the other, there are Birkenstock Boston clogs, often made from suede, for everyday wear.
These two styles call for different considerations when choosing a pair. With a running shoe, weight, cushioning, grip and fit while moving are the main priorities. For a clog, material, footbed, width and care matter more. If you focus only on the colour or brand name, you could end up buying a model that isn’t right for how you plan to use it.
A lightweight model with a responsive sole may be appealing for speed training, but that doesn’t automatically make it suitable for relaxed walks or standing for long periods. According to the product description, the Adidas Adizero Boston 13 is designed for intensive training in preparation for race day. That’s a different purpose from an everyday shoe.
A shoe can be the right EU size on paper and still fit differently because of its last, upper or width. With Birkenstock Boston models, the difference between a narrow fit and a regular fit matters. Running shoes also need enough room around the toes, while still holding the midfoot securely.
So always check the size guide and product variant. The range includes Adidas sizes such as 38 2/3, 39 1/3, 41 1/3 and 43 1/3, as well as Birkenstock models in various EU sizes.
Suede feels soft, but needs protection from moisture and dirt. An EVA outsole is lightweight and flexible, but it isn’t the same as a specialist running sole. Terms such as Lightstrike Pro cushioning and ENERGYRODS also describe parts of a shoe’s construction; they don’t guarantee that every runner will have the same experience.
For a model such as the Adidas Adizero Boston 13, look out for:
If you’re preparing for a race, it’s a good idea to gradually break in new shoes during training. That way, you can spot in good time whether they fit well around the heel, toes and midfoot.
For suede clogs, these points are key:

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
According to the product description, the Adidas Adizero Boston 13 is designed for intensive training and race preparation. Its construction may feel different from that of a comfortable everyday shoe when you’re out walking. Choose based on how you’ll mainly use it, not just its appearance.
The available models are described as true to size, but the width varies. In particular, check whether you need a narrow or regular version. Also check the size guide on the specific product page, as the available sizes differ between variants.
Gently brush away dry dirt with a suede or nubuck brush. Don’t soak the material, and don’t use bleach or a strong chemical cleaner. Leave the clogs to dry at room temperature. A colourless protective spray can be used periodically according to the product instructions; check first that it’s suitable for suede.
