PositiveA 5K/10K-focused runner doing 60–65 km a week recommends the Adios 8: it performs in workouts, is comfortable, and is fine at easy paces. Except for PB attempts, it has replaced their Takumi Sen 8 and Deviate Nitro Elite.

PositiveAfter 300 km, the Adios 8 fits their wide midfoot well, with a stiff but very breathable upper. It's a versatile, durable shoe for most paces that also works for travel and walking. Great value even at full price.

PositiveA heavier runner who uses the Adios 8 daily in base training, for any session including long runs at any pace. It moulds to the foot well and gives ground feel that helps their form.

PositiveLikes the Adios 8 even more than the 6: much wider and comfier, a bit lighter, with lots of ground feel; a great tempo and long-interval shoe bought for about $50.

PositiveAbout 15 miles over two runs, from easy warm-up pace to half-marathon and 10K effort. They like the light, very breathable upper, true-to-size fit with a roomier toe box and no heel slip, plus quick turnover and tacky grip in the wet. Negatives: the heel foam creases quickly, the torsion plastic scuffed up on cobbles, and heavier runners may find the midsole too soft and low. Suits lighter runners who want a minimal, responsive shoe.
Most runners find the adidas Adizero Adios 8 a light, fast, low-stack shoe with good ground feel, well suited to speed work and daily training. Many call it durable and breathable, and some say it fits wider than earlier versions. It has little stability, and a few find it slappy, firm or dead underfoot.
