The Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 is a high-performance racing shoe designed for speed and efficiency. It is especially suitable for runners who prioritize energy return and lightweight construction. The shoe features a significant **12 mm drop**, making it ideal for heel strikers seeking optimal performance.
Lab tests indicate that the foam has a measured hardness of **31.5 HA**, translating to a stable platform that enhances propulsion during runs. However, the design incorporates a narrower toebox, which may limit comfort for those with wider feet. Additionally, the rear stability is reduced, potentially affecting comfort for heel strikers.
While visually similar to its predecessor, the **Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4** presents distinct differences aimed at speed, offering less forgiveness for casual racers compared to earlier models.
