Jeff is Runner-in-Chief for Runner's World, guiding the brand's shoes and gear coverage. A true shoe dog, he's spent more than a decade testing and reviewing shoes. In 2017, he ran in 285 different pairs of shoes, including a streak of 257 days wearing a different model.
In September, one week before this year’s Berlin Marathon, Adidas announced the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1, a new marathon racing shoe that got the running media and industry talking—the $500 shoe weighs less than 5 ounces and Adidas claims it was “designed specifically for race day, with the purpose to race at your fastest – one race, all in.”We knew we had to test it. But, we wanted to put it in a situation that merited the use of a $500 shoe.
“They’re a unique shoe with a higher price and a bit of a limited durability, so be willing to invest in a one-time race shoe—maybe you’ll get a few races out of them. They didn’t seem to break down noticeably. I could probably put them on again and run another marathon or some other shorter races.”One spot that is likely to show wear most noticeably is the outsole.
