MixedAbout 100 km in two and a half months, a low total because the shoe was hard to fit into their routine. They love how light and fast it feels and call the upper and fit perfect, but two runs of over an hour both left slight plantar fascia irritation, and the low stack felt punishing on tired legs. Best when fresh, a niche speed shoe rather than a daily trainer, and not one they would urge anyone to rush out and buy.

MixedAbout 30 miles in, they like but don't love the Adios 9: comfortable and well fitting, but they always feel it in their toes afterwards. It'll probably be their travel running shoe.
Runners describe the Adios 9 as a light, low-stack, fast shoe with a comfortable sock-like upper and a durable outsole, popular for track sessions, intervals and shorter races. Heavy use can be hard on the knees and legs, so it is less suited to everyday long mileage. A few get heel blisters.
