Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 2

Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 2 review: what runners say

Fit

Racing fit, narrow especially in the toebox. In UK sizing, going half a size up from usual is recommended; elsewhere, staying true to size while verifying the centimeter measurement is adequate.

Feel

Fast turnover and aggressive forefoot rocker with immediate response at toe-off. The foam is light but not particularly soft — described by some as hollow rather than plush. Below 6:00–6:30 min/mile the shoe delivers; at slower paces it feels unstable and uncomfortable.

Durability

Outsole starts breaking down around 50 km on heavier runners. Adidas itself recommended limiting the previous model to a single race; v2 holds up better but is not built for mileage accumulation.

Best for

Fast marathoners and middle-distance runners with neutral mechanics and midfoot-to-forefoot strike. Not suited for runners with midfoot instability, pronated heel strikers, or paces slower than 6:30 min/mile.

Weak points

Severely inadequate grip on wet surfaces or certain pavement types — multiple sources report dangerous slipping. $500 price point is hard to justify against high-end alternatives.
