Pros

  • Both reviewers call it light, snug and responsive on faster runs.
  • At 7.9 oz it is well under the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers on sale.

Cons

  • Both reviewers say the outsole wears out quickly.
  • One reviewer finds the laces catch in the eyelets, making the lower lacing hard to dial in.

5/5

Overall

We all have a favorite running shoe thats broken in and just feels perfect. Usually that shoe has a few miles on it. While it may fit perfect they are usually a little flat. The Adios Aktiv has that pefect fit with out feeling flat, it has tons of pop and you will notice you re effortlessly running faster than before. My only complaint is the soles wear out very fast.

Adios 3 AKTIV (2nd pair)

5/5

Overall

A classic looker, the adios 3 AKTIV doesn't feel or cost any different than the 'regular' adios 3. You get a neat shoe that you won't see on other racers' feet very often. It's light, snug, and responsive with the boost midsole. Two complaints: 1) the laces have a lot of friction with the eyelets, so dialing in the lower part of the tongue and vamp is a little tough; and 2) the continental rubber outsole isn't nearly as durable as what you get on the Boston 6/7. Interesting note, the adios 4 that just came out in the black/white colorway has 'AKTIV' printed on the insole.
