How it compares

  • Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 5's heel-to-toe drop is 4 mm, lower than the catalogue median of 6 mm (5% of the 179 other current shoes are lower).
  • Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 5's heel stack is 39 mm, thicker than the catalogue median of 38 mm (55% of the 176 other current shoes are thinner).
  • Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 5's forefoot stack is 35 mm, thicker than the catalogue median of 31.5 mm (76% of the 171 other current shoes are thinner).
  • Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 5's weight is 173 g, lighter than the catalogue median of 269 g (2% of the 167 other current shoes are lighter).
  • Against the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4: weight lighter, forefoot stack higher, drop less (details).
  • 4 shoes with similar geometry from other lines.

Differences smaller than the precision of the sources (about 1 mm of stack, 8 g, or the spread between photos for photo estimates) are reported as about the same.

Illustrative profile, not a photograph or scan: drawn to scale for a 300 mm shoe from published stack heights and photo estimates of the unloaded shoe (under body weight the foam compresses and the curves flatten). The grey upper is a generic outline, not this shoe’s. Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 5: heel 39 mm, forefoot 35 mm (drop 4 mm); toe rocker 44 % of length, radius 54 % of length; heel bevel 8 % of length, 24 mm high at the back, ending behind the heel bone (only the back edge is rounded). Heel bone: 12 % of length from the heel, where heel stack is measured. Heel bevel and toe rocker are marked where each curve meets the ground; for the heel that is where the sole comes within 4.5 mm of the ground, which foam compression closes under body weight.

Percent values are relative to shoe length so they compare across images and sizes; widths in millimetres are lab measurements from the cited source, while toe tip and heel heights in millimetres are photo estimates converted for a men’s US 9 (assumed 300 mm long), so approximate.

Illustrative profiles, not photographs: drawn from published stack heights and photo estimates of the unloaded shoes on a common length (300 mm), heels aligned, toe to the left; dots mark where each toe rocker starts; the dotted vertical line is under the heel bone (12 % of length), so a heel curve reaching past it is a bevel in front of the heel bone. Dotted lines use typical values where a shoe has no measurement. Exact values are in the table below.
