Is the Adios Pro 5 a good marathon shoe?

Yes. It is designed for long-distance road racing up to 26+ miles, with LightstrikePro cushioning and stiff Energyrims for running economy. It is best saved for race day and fast workouts.

How does it compare with the Adios Pro 4?

The Pro 5 keeps the LightstrikePro and carbon-infused Energyrims concept but uses the updated Lightlock 2.0 upper and a Lighttraxion outsole tuned for lower weight. Expect a similar propulsive ride with a more secure upper.

Does it fit true to size?

Yes. adidas lists a regular fit and true-to-size sizing, so most runners can take their usual running shoe size.

Is it good for overpronators?

No. It is a neutral racing shoe. Runners who need stability should look at a support trainer or a stability racer instead.

Can I use it for daily training?

It can handle fast workouts, but the thin outsole and firm race-tuned ride make it a poor choice for everyday easy miles. A daily trainer is a better fit for most runs.

What is the outsole made of?

A Lighttraxion outsole for low weight, with Continental rubber placed at the toe-off for traction and smooth transitions.

Our take on the Adizero Adios Pro 5

The Adizero Adios Pro 5 is adidas's marathon racing shoe, built around a LightstrikePro foam midsole with carbon-fiber-infused Energyrims for stiffness and running economy. At 6.24 oz it is among the lightest long-distance racers, and the Lighttraxion outsole with Continental rubber at the toe-off keeps grip without adding bulk. The Lightlock 2.0 one-way stretch upper is meant to hold the foot securely over 26 miles. It suits neutral runners chasing a fast marathon or half who want a stiff, propulsive ride; it is a race-day tool, not a daily trainer, and rivals like the Nike Vaporfly and Hoka Cielo offer a softer or more forgiving feel for some runners.
