Soft, bouncy and fast with a comfier upper than before; the toe box runs narrow, so many size up.

Positive

About 2,000 miles with no toe-box problems for their hard-to-fit feet.

Reddit · r/RunningShoeGeeks · Jul 19, 2026 · summarized

Positive

350 km of workouts across two pairs with none of the AP3's issues.

Reddit · r/RunningShoeGeeks · Oct 6, 2025 · summarized

Mixed

Sized up in the Adios Pro 4 and the heel ballooned, giving them serious Achilles sores on runs of 8 km or more; a true-to-size pair fixed it completely and is their most comfortable long-run shoe.

Mixed

Likes the Adios Pro 4 and finds its upper fits a wide forefoot better than the Metaspeed, but it feels squishier at every pace than the Sky Paris.

Positive

Raced a marathon in the Adios Pro 4 and loves it, with a super comfortable, sock-like upper.

Reddit · r/RunningShoeGeeks · Mar 24, 2025 · summarized

Positive

A 58-year-old, 150 lb runner took the Adios Pro 4 on a 9-miler with half-marathon-pace miles: soft yet firm foam, more spring than the EVO SL, a better locked-in upper, far better grip, very light, and a roomy toe box.

Positive

Set a half-marathon PB in them; very comfortable, not too firm, and their legs felt fresh at the finish. They run true to size in their running size 9.

Reddit · r/RunningShoeGeeks · Jan 31, 2025 · summarized

Positive

An 83 kg runner with about 1,500 km in the Adios Pro 3 finds the Adios Pro 4 much softer with great energy return and a far more comfortable upper; after 50 km including a 24 km long run, grip was brilliant even on frost and their legs felt fresh.

Reddit · r/RunningShoeGeeks · Jan 17, 2025 · summarized

Positive

Gave up on the Adios Pro 3 after nearly 100 miles of upper discomfort and heel slip, but the Adios Pro 4's upper disappears on the foot. Finds it as stable as the AP3 yet bouncier, lighter and more propulsive, and fits true to size.

Reddit · r/RunningShoeGeeks · Dec 19, 2024 · summarized

Positive

After an easy 6 km, finds the Adios Pro 4 runs short (went half a size up) but otherwise fits perfectly with a brilliant upper, unlike the AP3. It is much softer and bouncy like a lighter Cielo X1, fairly stable, and grippier on wet roads than the AP3.

YouTube · Sagasu Running · Dec 15, 2024 · summarized

Positive

About 53 km (33 miles) covered in workouts, easy runs and a 10-mile long run. They praised the very soft, bouncy foam, the comfortable locked-in upper and an outsole with no wear yet, and found marathon pace easy to hold. They say it is not very stable and demands strong feet, that overpronators should avoid it, and that heel and midfoot strikers may find it a mixed bag. They expect less long-term durability than the Pro 3.

Blog · Road Trail Run — Michael Ellenberger, Ryan Eiler, Sam Winebaum · summarized

Positive

A softer, bouncier, more controllable ride with an excellent, more comfortable upper. Called a top-5 racer despite heel blisters; one tester felt it lost some stability and snappy turnover; another felt the soft heel slowed the transition. Scores 9.4-9.6.
