Adidas Adizero Adios 9

Adidas Adizero Adios 9 review: what runners say

Fit

Narrow toebox with virtually no lateral margin. Multiple sources recommend sizing up half a size from the usual Adidas size.

Feel

Updated racing flat feel: light, responsive, with strong ground feedback. The Light Strike Pro delivers surprising energy return for the stated stack; the shoe pushes toward higher cadences.

Durability

Light Traction GCPU outsole with a Continental rubber insert at the forefoot midsole. Longevity uncertain on abrasive roads; some reviewers flag concerns about rapid heel zone wear for heel-strikers.

Best for

Racer and speed session shoe for 5K and 10K. Suited to lighter, experienced runners; the majority of sources advise against it for the half marathon despite Adidas listing it as a compatible distance.

Weak points

Narrow toebox excludes wide feet. Poor-quality laces. Outsole with uncertain durability and grip on uneven surfaces.
