adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 Reviews

A 63-year-old ran a 10K PB on a shakeout run and then a 3:23 marathon in the Adios Pro 4 with barely any soreness the next day. It comes alive at marathon pace, but feels a bit cumbersome on corners, squeaks occasionally and gave them a blister.

Ran a 3:04 marathon in the Adios Pro 4 and loves it, but one heel bit badly from halfway and left a nasty bloody blister.

A runner set 5K and half PBs in the Adios Pro 4 but finds its softer foam starts to tell beyond 16-18 miles.

Raced a 10-miler in the Adios Pro 4 with no break-in and cruised to their best race pace; their only complaint is the narrow heel.

Ran a strong half marathon in them and found them great throughout, very soft; needed half a size up as they run about a quarter size short.

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.

The Adios Pro 4 doesn't feel great at slower paces but is amazing at faster ones.

Has the Endorphin Elite, Adios Pro 3 and Endorphin Pro 3; the Adios Pro 4 is closest to the EP3, squishing then propelling, with a smoother transition, a faster feel and a more aggressive toe-off.

First 11 km tempo run in the Adios Pro 4: true to size, much softer than other super shoes, and it may replace the Alphafly 3 as their favorite race shoe.

Brett 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.
