Adios 9 Pro 4 Running Sneaker (Men)

Got my true to size 10.5 after I decided to time my first casual half marathon effort as part of a 50K birthday run I was invited to participate in. I put up a decent 2:11 for the half and ended up running 33 of the 50. So here are the observations of a very amateur and very avg runner. Ive heard alot of chatter surrounding fit and ordering a half size up but honestly, I wear a 10.5 in everything (Stan smiths, Supernovas, Ultraboost 20/light/DNA, Evo Sl, Pnfinity Run 3/4, Pegasus 41, Deviate Nitro 3/4...hope this helps) so I took the gamble and I was right. Perfect fit. I took them out for a test 5k spin before gym the day I got them and i was having so much fun it turned i to a 10k. The fit was great, good upper with great lockdown and no worries with heelslip, lace bite or ankle rubbing (I flipped my heeltab down like a normal person) and most importantly my legs were still fresh. On the day of the 50K all of the above held true and as I added mileage the ride felt comfortable and protective but snappy and bouncy and I loved the aggressive rocker. It kept me at pace and it never felt like I was working hard to get up to faster paces or to stay there. The grip got put to the test as well since the weather went from a tropical day in Barbados to random monsoon and back and they held their ground. I could almost feel them nibbling the road... lol. I definitely prefer lightraction over continental now. The grip is phenomenal. Do note however, that the Adios Pro 4 require you to bring your own stability to the party. They're moderately stable mid to forefoot at pace but if you need stability or your form breaks down due to fatigue they can become somewhat unstable because of the narrow heel and hollowed out section underfoot you can see the rods. They're not the most forgiving in that regard so I'd say consider giving the Evo SL a shot instead if stability is a concern. My only real concern were the laces. They're lightweight (not flimsy feeling like my pairs of Evo SL) but they could be longer so I could tie an actual runners knot rather than struggling to double tie them with a tweezers. Overall I would definitely recommend unless stability is a concern.
