If you think the Adios is a fast shoe, then you will be thrilled at the Takumi Sen 5. It's the definitive Japanese racing flat - light, fast and low-drop minimalist. There isn't much cushioning in the heel, but it's not for heel runners. In fact, if you have any sloppiness in your form, these shoes will make you a better runner because you can't slouch along in them. The Boost cushioning in the mid-foot is just as cushioned as the Adios, so it won't beat up your feet. Sizing - the upper is similar to the Adios 4, which means it does run a bit small. If you love the Adios, then don't hesitate in graduating to the Takumi Sen. ... read more

I bought these after sending back some cushioned shoes that felt too over-engineered, and love the lighter faster feel. I'm rotating them with cushioned shoes for training and will use these for 10K and half marathon races. ... read more

I’v been with the Boston 7, and this one is even better. Better laces, grippier sole, a nice modern design, light and durable (with my last ones I ran over 1.500 km). They just fit perfectly and feel amazing. This tight and perfect fit, combined with bouncy, super light, responsive, verry grippy and most important fast, makes them the ideal running partner. ... read more

No changes to the midsole or outsole compared to the Adios 3, but the upper is completely new and much more comfortable. It still runs small - I went up a full size compared to my usual sizing in other brands. Still the best fast light shoe out there. You can just keep going and going in them. ... read more

It's hard to say absolutely that the size and fit of this shoe is "actually" perfect but unless they're custom made, I'm not sure exactly how you'd achieve that anyway. What I can say, is that the Bostons have always come close for me, and this version is no exception, and I'm as impressed with the 8, as I have been with the 7, the 6 and the rest - the improvements just keep coming! Better laces, a tackier, grippier sole (that looks lighter), a more modern design, look and colourway, and a lighter, surely more durable upper (I've had other Bostons tear from getting caught on stuff) got me excited as soon as I unboxed them. I did a few training runs in these before I ran a half marathon in them, and they just feel amazing, bouncy, super light and responsive, very grippy (so you can forget to worry about wet or slippery surfaces) and most importantly: fast. I have no doubt they'll improve to their sweet spot after a month or so more running, and I can't wait. ... read more

Bought these to replace my old worn out ones, was a little hesitant about the price but my word are they worth every penny. I’m usually a size 5 1/2 to 6 and after reading the reviews I went for the size 6 and they are perfect! They’re nice and tight but also super breathable so my feet don’t feel suffocated. Love that the opening for the foot is elasticated so no need to worry about tying the laces. Just slip them on and you’re good to go! Honestly my new favourite shoes. Feels like my feet are getting a hug!! ... read more

Adidas didn't change much from the Adios 3, which is good news for me because I loved that shoe. The styling is the biggest change. I preferred the retro styling of the 3, but this is still nice. The laces are upgraded to be more elastic. I weighed my shoes, and they are identical in weight. The cushioning feels the same -- enough to take the sting out of the road, but still firm enough to be responsive. I have slightly wider than average feet and thought the fit was a bit narrow until I took them out for a run and realized they fit great. I am wearing my usual running shoe size. I think these are a great 10k-half marathon racing shoe, great for tempos and intervals, and still light and responsive enough for 5k races. My one request would be for more colour options, like green and blue. ... read more

Slightly wider than the previous model that make them much more comfortable. Great runners for speed work and long distance. I appreciate the design (white gets dirty though) but still regret the fast using of the Continental sole. ... read more

The Adios 4 is a lightweight racing shoe perfect for distances from a track 5k up to a half marathon. Although I was a big fan of the Sub2 as a 5-10k racing flat, the Adios 4 does the job it's required to do. For me, the Adios 4 is more of a jack of all trades, not quite as light and nimble as the Sub2 but is still a responsive yet well-cushioned racing flat capable of going quite far. My only problem (which was a similar problem with the Sub2 and many shoes nowadays) was that the midfoot was quite narrow as the tongue was stitched onto the upper (I have quite a wide toe box and midfoot, however, I was able to cut off the stitching between the upper and the tongue which freed up my foot a bit. Overall I would recommend this for runners who want a good looking shoe that can do a wide variety of distances. ... read more

I think the Adios 4 are bit more stiff, so the shoes will last longer. The shoes have a tighter fit compared to the previoius model. The shoe will give you just as adidas tells you a tight and locked-in -fit. Regards Botond ... read more

Trying Adidas again as my current racing flat has a heel cup that aggravates my achilles. No such problem with the Adios 4. Adios fits my narrow foot well. A UK10 is a comfortably snug fit as long as I use a lacelock to avoid any forward movement/middle toe bumping. I wear a UK10 in all else, except spikes and the Boston 6/7 (need a UK10.5 in those). Not the very lightest, so training not racing on the track, but perfect for road 5k, 10k, HM. Good flexibility in the mid/forefoot, but stable and responsive. No problem at 5 to 6min/mile pace. At 64kg, I'd even consider them as a daily trainer*. The upper and midsole were comfy out the box, comfier from 50k onwards. Good laces too! *Not sure about longevity. I know the Conti outsole lasts forever on Bostons and the old Supernovas, but it's thinner here. Makes a much more fun and flexible shoe, but probably a 500 mile lifespan. Any more will be a bonus. Great value when on offer. ... read more

I've ran in the Adizero Adios Boost 2 and Adizero Adios Boost 3, however the Adizero Adios Boost 4 is way to narrow and the materials on the upper doesn't give enough when running. The boost sole is also not as responsive. Extremely disappointing, as I have ran in this model for the past 5 years. Unfortunately, this model, 4, has lost its way. I do like the cosmetic design of the heel but the toe box is not as comfortable as previous models. ... read more

I found these sneakers rather flimsy. I never have problems with light-weight neutral sneakers but these required insoles, and even then, still felt thin and unsupportive. The sneakers are very stylish so for fashion's sake, get them. If comfort is of utmost importance, don't waste your time. ... read more

I've recently taken up running and decided it was time to splash out on some decent shoes at I increased my distance and speed. After reading several 'best running shoes' articles, the only ones that featured in all of them were the Adizero Adios 4 (or 3). I was initially put off by the price, but with Adidas's 33% off promotion I decided to take a chance and bought a pair. As soon at I put them on for the first time I knew they'd be good. They fitted like a glove (I went half a size up a recommended) and they felt great. I've only worn them twice for running so far, but beat my best time for 5km by over 1 minute first time out, and my 10km time by over 2 minutes in my second run. I'm looking forward to more runs in them in the near future with realistic expectations of running faster and faster. ... read more

I hate to take my Adios off! The shoes have a very quick turnover at any pace. Extremely comfortable up to 20 miles. I'm sure a marathon would be fine too. My feet are average width and I find the upper to be the best of any shoe I've worn in years -- my foot is perfectly locked down but never feels compressed at all. And the Adios looks so understated and classy too. Great shoe... ... read more

I brought these running shoes for a 10 k hilly race and was pleased to get a pb by several minutes. Also ran a 22.30 minute 5k too and I’m a 57kg 40+ female runner. Perfect for race day where lightweight supporting trainers are needed- absolutely love them, will buy again. ... read more

Decent runner and light weight. Paid additional to have it printed with name which arrived peeling off on one shoe. Makes them look poor straight away. Not worth the additional charge. But the runner itself is a good product. ... read more

When I tried men's 5 in store , it felt supportive and fit as Adizero Adios and I was excited to oredr size 5.5 in women size when women version came out. However, when I put them on they felt very flat,nothing like Adizero Adios or one I tried in store. After ran an our in them, top part of the shoes was stretched out and nothing hold my toes together. i am returning them. Not good product. ... read more

Need larger sizes, no sizes above 13 available. I really like the style & tried size13 but they run way too tight. I can wear size 13 in The Pureboost, but Adizero won’t work. Size 14 would be perfect ... read more

These shoes are so stylish and so comfortable! They are lightweight and have good cushion on the bottom. I'm hoping for how expensive they are, they'll last me for a long time. I bought them for work where I'm on my feet for 10+ hours. The only thing I would recommend is sizing down. I'm usually a women's 8 for every day shoes and an 8 1/2 for Adidas shoes. But for some reason, these run very large. I ended up going with the size 8 but I could have gone down to the 7 1/2 for an exact fit. ... read more

I’ve worn the adizeros from the original introduction never had a problem or a single blister/toenail issue. I’ve used them for everything off road, track, racing marathons and ultras ....... they are the ONLY trainer I’d be confident to wear out of the box for a marathon and KNOW I wouldn’t have a problem. ... read more

Got a 25% discount item friends and family discount. Received promptly on day I was told I would receive them. When running I land on the front part of my foot and my adios 4s give me the appropriate space in the toe box with out being to spacious. Running on air love them would highly recommend ... read more

In my opinion, the Adios 3 are more comfortable. The Adios 4 run about 1/2 size too small. Also, there's an uncomfortable feeling in the arch area. Almost like something is pressing into my foot. It certainly wasn't a defect because I ordered the shoe more than once. ... read more

If you have wide feet do not buy these runners. I usually take a 10.5 so i went to a size 11 when getting these, but they might aswell given me a size 10, they were so narrow. It really fely like they gave me a size down, thats how tight and unfortable these runners were. With the Adios 3, a size 11 fitted me fine, it was snug but i would have been able to wear and run in them. However, they've really messed up the sizing with the Adios 4. It's apity as i was really looking forward to running in these. I returned mine. ... read more

I’ve tried lots of shoes but can’t find anything that compares to these for speed work and racing. Incredible comfort from such a lightweight shoe and really fast combined with great style. I’ve PB’d wearing these at every distance incl the marathon at the end of Ironman triathlon when my form would be at its worst ... read more
