Adios pro 4. Should be able to start finding some good sales on them. Especially in "uglier" colorway. Honestly a very versatile race shoe that will kill on a 5k as well.

I’ve had the the Saucony ES4 and ES5 in my rotation and love my Adidas Adios Pro 4s.

I wore Adios Pro 4's in the past 2 halves I've done. I don't think I would wear them for a full however, they destroy my calves. However, they are very very fast.

For me, the AP4 has such a soft heel, and only a 6mm drop so they are HARD on my calves. They are super fast, but my lower legs definitely feel beat up afterwards. I PR'd my last half (1:20:55) but the last 4-5km my calves were killing me. I don't think I could do a full marathon in them to be honest. I do really like them for 10ks and the half though. I hope the pro 5 has a slightly more stiff heel, it would nearly be a perfect shoe for me then.

Don't blast them until you try them. I love my big stack shoes. My favorite long runs shoes are the ASICs Megablasts and Hoka Skyward X. I also love Adidas EVO SLs. Race shoes are Nike Vapor Flys, Alpha FLys, and Adidas Pro 4s.
