How it ranks
The adidas adizero Adios 7 trails most daily trainers in our data. Looks and value are its strongest sub-ratings. Comfort scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 9 runner reviews and 7 other rated shoes in the adizero Adios product line. Another 3 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
83/100
“The heel cup is severely lacking, and after 30 or so miles in these shoes I'm still taping my Achilles tendon for blisters.”
“They were super stiff, and the toe box was too narrow (my pinky toe would rub).”
“This shoe is very very stiff, and has almost nothing to offer in the comfort department.”
“The upper is flimsy and gets holes in it way too soon.”
“Durability of the upper is very questionable, because it doesn't stretch, it just folds, so I feel the plastic will break before long.”
“Material has separated and torn near the toe box after a few weeks.”
“The upper bunches up badly around the front of the arch when the shoe is weighted.”
“Enough cushion for long runs, but light enough for shorter races.”
“Easy to find on sale for less than $100.”
“The 7's though the uppers were not durable.”

Overall
Enjoyed the this shoe as a daily trainer. Liked the slightly firmer feel to this shoe as opposed to the super soft shoes. Really good mileage ( 800+ miles) from the Adios 6. the 7's though the uppers were not a durable. The soles are still great but material has seperated and torn near the toe box after a few weeks.

I've been wearing Adios for years, and they work for me. Enough cushion for long runs, but light enough for shorter races. Easy to find on sale for less than $100.

Adidas Adizero Adios 7 is a great light weight shoe but the upper is flimsy and gets holes in it way too soon. Also, I preferred the old waffle grip as it didn’t get little pebbles stuck in it as this grip does.

Overall
I used to love the adios as my racing flat and the Boston as my daily trainer. I found the adios 7 for $35 and couldn’t say no. I did not like them for the first 50 miles…they were super stiff, and the toe box was too narrow (my pinky toe would rub). Since then, the toe box has loosened up a bit, and they don’t seem quite as stiff. They’re still not my favorite, but I don’t mind running in them now. After 100 miles the inside portion of both toes have a sizable rip, so I’m not sure I’ll make it to 200 miles.
