adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 Reviews

Bought a nearly new Adios Pro 3 for their first marathon after the Superblast 2 felt flat after two hours; it was love at first try and suited an 18 km easy long run on mixed surfaces.

Their AP3 has hit 1000 km and is the best marathon trainer they've owned, still pleasant on easy runs.

Owns three pairs of the Adios Pro 3, using one for long runs and one for races.

Cut the upper on both AP3 pairs and has raced two marathons plus 400 training miles in them; they feel better than ever.

At 320 miles a 2:40-hopeful marathoner finds the AP3's upper poor and the fit large, but it's the only super shoe that doesn't hurt their collapsed arch, and the midsole and thin outsole show almost no wear.

Owns the Takumi Sen 8 and AP3; the AP3 fits comfortably enough for any distance, unlike the narrow TS8.

Finds the Adios Pro 3 perfect for longer runs, where the Endorphin Speed 2 stops being comfortable after 11-12 miles.

On their second pair of AP3 for marathons and calls it the best shoe on the market.

Wore the Adios Pro 3 for a 19 km run and found it great for that distance and probably longer: enough cushion to protect their feet, with some get-up-and-go at 5k pace.

About 200 miles over five months, mostly Sunday long runs including some up to 36 km. They praise the protective, responsive cushioning that works from easy to marathon pace, plus stable landing, strong grip and very little outsole wear. They found it clunky for speed work, the upper minimal with a thin tongue, and the shoe bulky. Suits marathon training and racing.
