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

Positive1,200 km of 20–40 km runs: may be the GOAT for long runs, with impressive Lightstrike durability.

PositiveAlmost 430 km with little wear; soft enough for slow daily runs and quick when needed.

PositiveAbout 500 miles for a heavier runner; great long-run and tempo shoe after its race life.

PositiveDid a workout in an Adios Pro 4 with about 300 miles on it: less poppy than a fresher Edge Tokyo but still good. Retired their first pair at about 350 miles as it was getting unstable for an overpronator.

PositiveThey love the Adios Pro 4 and find it significantly more durable than the Alphafly, though they find it harder to hold hard paces in than the Nike.

PositiveUses the Adios Pro 4 for training and races, alternating with the EVO SL, and finds it lasts; reckons it could go 400 miles.

PositiveAt about 170 miles at 190 lbs they say their pair still feels great, though they plan to order a backup in case the foam goes flat.

PositiveA 45-year-old used the Adios Pro 4 as their daily trainer for 400 km; it is wildly different from the AP3 they loved.

PositiveAbout 100 miles in them, mostly long runs and a 10K time trial. They loved the bounce at first and found the outsole barely worn, but the snappy feel faded after 50-60 miles into a softer ride. The heel feels wobbly, the fit runs short (a bruised toe, so size up half for long races), and it suits forefoot strikers best.
Blog · Men’s Health — Brett Williams · summarized
PositiveBrett Williams found it flat on a slow 10-miler, but on race day it delivered smooth turnover and helped him negative-split the last miles of his strongest marathon. He had no blisters or hotspots over 26.2 miles and found it stable through water stations and corners; it works best around 8:00 per mile or faster.
Most runners describe the Adios Pro 4 as soft, bouncy and fast, with a more comfortable upper than the Adios Pro 3. Many go half a size up because the toe box runs narrow, and some get heel blisters or find it less stable. Mainly used for races and long runs.
