Adidas Takumi Sen 8 vs Adios 6 for tempos/interval work

The question you have to answer is: do you want a plate (ok, rodz) in your shoe or not? Some will like a stiffer feel in a trainer and some will not. Think also if you'll want to use the shoe for off-season road racing.

I've found that I like stiffer shoes, so I think I'd be fine in either. I guess my main concern would be if there would be a different/less of a training benefit in training in the plated/rod shoes vs a non-plated flat

Got the adios last week and am really enjoying them. They’re like a slightly more forgiving Boston in my opinion and fit just as as well.

another shoe to consider is the adizero pro (not adios pro which is too unstable for track use). You can find that shoe for even cheaper than adios 6 and Tukumi Sen 8. Adizero pro is super firm and harsh on the road, but actually feels good on the track.

Would agree with this, Adizero Pro is a great shoe in my opinion. Superior to the Adios 6. Takumi Sen is great too, but I'd be tempted by the Adizero Pro for it's cornering ability, since the upper is more secure/structured than that of the Takumi. I have all 3.

I really, really hate the Adizero Pro for road/concrete running though. It’s nice on a treadmill, track, or trail.
