adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 Reviews

Calls the Adios Pro 4 a great shoe: a hard-to-beat combination of feathery and bouncy, though overpriced at retail.

Used on pavement, including wet sections, and for longer distances. They found the ride cushioned yet responsive, the lockdown excellent and the grip and durability good. Downsides are a stiff feel that needs speed, a short tongue that puts pressure on the front of the foot on longer runs, and an upper that is not very breathable. Best for forefoot and midfoot runners pushing the pace.

Very happy with their first runs after the Rocket X2: softer but more responsive.

Finds the Adios Pro 4 very soft and responsive.

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.

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.

50 km in the Adios Pro 4: softer than the AP3 with the same rod snap and aggressive toe-off but much better responsiveness, much like the Endorphin Elite 2.

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.
