Boston 10 changed the dynamic of the shoe from a tempo / race day shoe to an everyday trainer. However, if you are looking for the old Boston feel I would say the Adios comes very close in terms of feel.

Also the new tongue design on the 11 is terrible. The tongue is hard and digs into your feet cutting into your skin.

So as a casual/obese runner with fragile knees and shins who had never tried a "super shoe", I fell in love with the Boston 10 at the Adidas store and thought I got a great deal ($72). The "bounce" and shock absorption felt fantastic, and even after bringing it home and going on a relatively long run for me (2.5 miles) my knees and shins still felt great.

I'm still within the 30 day return period though, it's tempting to get one of these and return the Boston 10. However it sounds like the Boston 11 upper isn't as comfortable (though this may not matter for the distances I would be running), and the Adios 7 while lighter may actually not be more comfortable for a heavier runner like me.

Adios 7 - where the end where it attaches to the shoe. It's made of a thin plastic and bunches up no matter how you lace your shoes and will rub against the top of your foot. Wear thicker socks. This is a firm workout/interval shoe or if your easy pace is above 8min/miles. Otherwise this is a very firm slapy shoe.

Boston 10 - common complaint is that this shoe is also very firm. But you need to break it in first at 50-75 miles. Which is a lot if the shoe life is only 300-400 miles.

I just skimmed through reviews on the Boston 11 and came across a common complaint about the tongue. The tongue apparently has some sharp or rough edges that dig into and irritate the skin. Several people said the tongue is connected to the sole of the shoe to form a sock-bootie liner fit that is tight and unadjustable. What's your view on this aspect of the shoe?
You are right. I have both Boston adizero 8 and 11. The Boston 8 have 4000+ miles and still rock. But the Boston 11 tongue has very limited adjustable design as you mentioned. For people with ralative taller foot top, stay away Boston 11.

Right on. I've never been so confounded by a shoe as the Boston 10/11. I'm 58 miles in and they still make my legs feel beaten up after a run.

4000+ miles? That can't be right unless you are wearing daily for 5 years straight laugh out loud

I also had the Boston 10 but felt the upper was too restrictive (even after 100 miles) so I ended up selling it. The upper on the 11 is much more comfortable (I have wider feet) but it's really the plasticky tongue that kills me. I run about 8-10 miles per session or 30-40 miles a week and I think the Boston 11 is fantastic for these distances and could see it going higher.

Because they're huge. Massive thick soles like platform shoes compared to the old 6 or 7s that were phenomenal. I do most of my running in steel toe boots at work, they're less like clogs than the 10s and up.

I'm going to give the Adios 7 a try in my rotation and see how they compare to my Saucony Speeds and Shifts. They see to get favorable reviews on Runrepeat. Worst case it's a walk around shoe at $38.

Does anyone know exactly why the Boston 11 ended up being a flop? This used to be a popular series.
Adidas completely changed the Boston series with the 10 and made them more of a heavier, high stack shoe. Also, they chose to use a Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro combo midsole instead a of a full Lightstrike Pro midsole which hasn't been popular due to how hard Lightstrike is.

Then, with the 11, they made it lighter by removing some of the overlays and heel counter padding, but that screwed with the sizing (probably go down 1/2 size for the 11) and they used the same midsole, so the previous complaints about Lightstrike still apply.

I have the 10 and the 11 and I personally like them both, Lightstrike feels good after a break-in period, but they will be a little hard underfoot in the beginning.

That is exactly how I looked at it. I just picked these up. They are definitely a steal at $38. They are too thin for me to wear right now for winter running, so going to stash them until late spring. Really nice shoes though. Seem like these would be great to just knock around in when it's hot out, but you don't want to wear sandals.
