## Product Description

The adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 Women’s is a speed-focused, carbon race shoe designed to deliver record-chasing performance for road running, from speedy workouts to marathon distances. Lighter and more advanced than its predecessor, it features a responsive, carbon-infused midsole and a newly engineered upper for enhanced comfort and lockdown at race paces. The Pro 4 is engineered for runners who demand maximum energy return, a propulsive ride, and a snappy, forward-rolling motion—ideal for setting new personal bests.

## Key Features

- **Lightstrike Pro Midsole with Carbon-Infused ENERGYRODS 2.0:** Delivers a super-bouncy, energetic ride with exceptional shock absorption—ideal for longer distances[5][7].
- **LightLock Woven Upper:** Replaces previous mesh for a softer, more breathable, and foot-conforming fit. Redesigned lacing system eliminates hotspots and offers secure lockdown, while internal bands and gusseted design prevent in-shoe movement[1][2][3].
- **LightTraxion Outsole:** Strategically patterned for grip where runners need it most, with a Continental rubber section at the forefoot for traction and durability[2][3].
- **Updated Fit:** The upper is true to size and slimmer in the forefoot, offering a snug fit for those with standard/narrow feet; some may find the toe box tight, especially on longer runs[1][3][7].
- **Durable Design:** Subtle toe reinforcements and minimalist, structured upper improve longevity without added weight[1].
- **Distinctive Style:** Bold stripes and updated aesthetics set it apart from previous models and other Adizero racing shoes[2].
- **Weight & Stack:** Significantly lighter than the Pro 3, with a mid-to-high stack for long-distance comfort (approx. 39 mm heel, 33 mm forefoot, but varies slightly by source)[2][5].
- **Price Point:** Positioned as a premium but accessible carbon racer, competing closely with other leading super-shoes[3][5].

## Best Suited For

The Adizero Adios Pro 4 Women’s is best for competitive female runners and ambitious racers targeting PRs in road races from 5K to marathon distance. It excels at providing a fast, energetic, and smooth ride with minimal weight, making it ideal for those who want a competitive edge, a propulsive carbon-plated feel, and modern comfort features without the ultra-price tag of elite-only shoes[1][2][5]. If you have wider feet, consider trying before buying, as the narrower forefoot may not suit everyone[1][3].
