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.

PositiveLoves the Adios 8 and just ordered a third pair: they use it for almost everything at any pace, even a marathon, and got 950 km from the first pair and 1100 km from the second.

PositiveA lightweight trainer and racer with a smooth, propulsive ride that's a great rotation addition. It feels good until ~90 minutes, then legs want more. Irritation spots inside (especially the arch), and outsole wear was notable by 50 miles, raising durability doubts.

PositiveBought the Adios 8 for $60 as a daily trainer. It's light, speedy and snappy, with more ground feel than the Boston 12, fits wider feet, and the Continental rubber should be durable. Only gripe: the laces are too short to double-knot.

PositiveOver 100 miles across about eight months, mostly easy running, form tune-ups, faster work near threshold and hill reps. They like the old-school flat ride, the very durable outsole (barely worn at 100 miles) and the simple upper. The one drawback, which they call a nitpick, is that over the last 25 miles or so, as the foam softened, the forefoot torsion rods became more noticeable, giving a slappier, harsher feel. Best for those who want a low, minimal shoe that rewards good mechanics.

PositiveSays the Adios 8 is extremely durable, easily good for 350 miles, and gets better with mileage.
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.
