MixedAfter 100 miles of runs up to 10 miles, workouts and strides: soft, springy, very light and as close to a perfect trainer as they've found, with no outsole wear. The catch is serious heel blistering unless they wear thick socks, and it may lack protection for long distances.
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.
