Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4

Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size for shorter distances; half size up recommended for half marathon and marathon due to forefoot pressure. Narrow last: not suitable for wide feet.

Feel

Reformulated Lightstrike Pro: softer and more responsive than the AP3, with energy return measured at 89.8%. Response fades noticeably after 50–60 km, shifting toward a more cushioned ride.

Durability

Over 160 km with the outsole nearly intact. The polyurethane outsole with Continental insert shows minimal wear; the midsole compound loses liveliness but retains structure and comfort.

Best for

Race shoe for midfoot/forefoot strikers across distances from 10K to marathon. Not suitable for heel strikers due to rear-foot instability, amplified by the progressive softening of the foam.

Weak points

Instability at the heel and heel-to-midfoot transition for heel strikers, worsening with mileage. Thin laces slip and require readjustment during the run.
