Nike Invincible 3 Reviews

Finlay McAndrew says the bounce held up beyond 500 miles and the outsole is barely worn. He sometimes had heel slip, which a runner’s loop fixes.

Loves their Invincible 3, with 300+ miles on it.

Loved the Invincible 3, running 500 miles across two pairs; it could eat miles through 300-plus-mile months before their first marathon.

At 200 miles, nothing has beaten the Invincible 3 for their daily running; its heel slippage is a non-issue for them, and they prefer it to the warmer Glycerin 21.

An owner of all three Invincibles didn't enjoy the 3 at first, but at 240 miles it's their daily shoe, more responsive with miles, and they bought another pair.

A heel striker who ran about 316 miles in them over roughly nine months calls them possibly the most durable shoe they have run in, with the outsole rubber, foam and upper all holding up. The firmer foam is less fun and bouncy than the Invincible 1 and 2, and it feels slightly more compact after 300 miles. Heel slip was fixed with a runner's knot, and the fit was true to size. They see it as a good value, versatile option for slow and somewhat faster runs.

A heavier ex-football player has logged about 200 miles in the Invincible 3 with zero issues, though they thought the 2 was better.

The Invincible 3 is their absolute favourite: great fit, lots of energy return, very durable, and it felt good throughout their last marathon.

Over 200 miles in them, including long runs of up to about 20 miles. They praise the soft, squishy foam, a stable ride on the wide platform and an outsole with very little wear. They mention a slightly narrow midfoot, plus heel slip in the first runs that went away with a heel-lock knot and the padding molding to the foot. They find it too big and bulky to speed up, so it suits easy and long runs as a high-mileage workhorse.

A 200 lb runner uses the Invincible 3 for everything but speed work; at 170 miles the outsole shows little wear.
