[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can’t help but be speedy in these shoes! Do new shoes make you run fast? These do!! Am I an elite athlete? No. Do I feel like one whe I wear these shoes? Also no, but I feel much less of a plodder!! They have a good amount of toe box room, and fit comfortably around the heel and foot with zero rubbing or sore areas. Right out of the box they felt great, LOTS of cushion and of course spring. Today was meant to be an easy pace run, but 5 miles later I was flying. Got them at a steal and immediately ordered another pair. I sized up half a size from my normal running shoe. Highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent shoes Best quality Super fast The color is amazing my wife is so happy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had time to where these yet - too wet/cold. But can't wait to do a workout in them and then race in them! Just walking around the house in them, they felt GREAT!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased these at launch and I really, really like them. These are the first pair of professional running shoes I’ve owned. They took a while for me to get used to - my feet would slip inside the shoe when I went around corners - but things have smoothed out now and I’m not experiencing any issues. I’ve definitely ran a lot further since wearing them. I listened to other reviews and ordered half a size up (8.5) and this was definitely the right decision. Could explain the corner issues I was having but not sure. The extra size was definitely needed for the toe bridge. Overall they’re very comfy and I would recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this shoe the minute I put it on. It was very comfortable and light. I ran in them a few times. I did a long run and noticed the balls of my feet hurt during and afterwards. Despite that I wore them for my marathon (reason I bought them) and the balls of my feet were screaming during the last half. I am soooo sad about this and will be returning them. They really do propel you forward and make you have a good stride. I am thinking it is the carbon plate that is making my feet hurt. Again I am so sad it didn’t work out, but thinking the shoe model underneath this one would work if it doesn’t have a carbon plate.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have three pairs of the Adizero Adios Pro 3 and was very excited to finally get a pair of the 4's. The 4's are considerably softer than the 3's and the upper is a big improvement. However, after two short runs in them, I developed an issue with my achilles. I switched back to a different pair of shoes and the problem is going away. I can't say the issue is directly related to the 4's but it seems strange that it started after the first run in them. I will give them another chance in the future.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the adidas adizero pros to run marathons since 2023. Version 4 is wonderful! I have slightly wider feet and have never had an issue with fit in these shoes. I also am not the fastest runner and still feel these shoes give me great energy return. How this shoe can be so comfortable and still so bouncy is wild. The people at adidas know what they’re doing! The color is also beautiful in person. I give it a 10/10.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the energy return of the Adios Pro 4 Shoes as well as the purple and white color scheme. The shoes motivate me to run fast and efficiently, so I got a personal record at the NYC Marathon 2025 in these shoes. I got 8th place in the 2025 World Marathon Majors Age Group Championships for women 60-64. 🏅
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the Pro 3, now I love these even more! A great running trainer, better foam underfoot by far. They are narrower in toe box, so definitely half size up. I’ve just ran a half marathon, my 20th, and got my 3rd best time in these shoes, the miles just fly by!
8 miles out of the box to try them out before a 10k and NO tendon pain (like I have in many shoes over 5 miles). I have recently started running more, and these shoes are more luxe than I could have imagined. They are my first super shoe. I also run in the Evo SL, and I sized up in this model due to running in heat and fearing my feet would swell a lot during a race. I think I could have actually gone either my normal size or up 1/2. I'm not bothered too much by the bright green since I got them heavily discounted (on Adidas). 10/10 would recommend for fussy feet like mine.
