Blog · Gearist — Brandon Wood · summarized
PositiveBrandon Wood found it poppy, fun and fast—“made me want to go”—while returning from a car crash. It took about 10 miles to break in, and the rods felt stable rather than intrusive. Grip was great on dry pavement but poor in snow; lacing and heel fit are tricky, and the mesh is scratchy.
Most runners find the Adios Pro 3 fast and bouncy, with a midsole and outsole that last for hundreds of miles. The upper and laces are the main complaint, with blisters, lace bite and heel rubbing common, and some find it wobbly. Works best for runners who can get the lockdown right.
