Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4

Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, snug compared to the Pro 3. Narrow, tapered toe box: wide-footed runners or those with bunions should consider going up a half size.

Feel

Lightstrike Pro foam is softer and more responsive than the previous generation, with energy return measured at 89.8%. Stability is pronounced at race paces; the shoe reaches its potential below 5 min/km.

Durability

Continental rubber outsole with good grip even in wet conditions; midsole longevity is lower than the AP3 per RunRepeat, which flags early loss of bounce. Expected mileage not quantified by sources.

Best for

Race shoe for midfoot and forefoot strikers on asphalt, from 5K to marathon. Not recommended for heel strikers: narrow heel and rocker geometry do not support that gait.

Weak points

Narrow toe box is a disadvantage for wide feet. At least one runner reports the upper heel collar curling and causing blisters. RunRepeat notes the midsole is less durable than the AP3.
