Adidas Adistar 4 review: what runners say
Fit
Moderately wide fit, true to size. Sufficient forefoot room; suitable for wide feet as well.
Feel
Plush, abundant cushioning with a forefoot rocker that makes transitions smooth. Moderate response, not particularly reactive: prioritizes comfort at easy paces.
Durability
Durable outsole: no significant wear after 100–150 km. Estimated lifespan around 700 km, varying with runner weight and foot strike.
Best for
Daily trainer for easy runs and long distances at relaxed paces. Suitable for neutral runners of any weight; not recommended for those seeking stability or a lightweight option for speedwork.
Weak points
Some sources flag excessive stiffness and high weight in earlier versions; on the v4, some doubt remains around stability on uneven surfaces for runners with significant overpronation. Upper breathability is below average.
