Quite the best running shoe I've bought.

Anonymous runner · Jul 25, 2024

5/5

Overall

Adios Pro 3 was the first carbon "rod" shoe I've bought and I did not regret buying it. I bought it 2 thumbs bigger from my toe and honestly there's no slippage at all. They're lightweight, durable, breathable and quite rigid. Once I tried running in it, I thought it would have cushion and spring but honestly felt like normal daily trainers. After some time, I noticed pain from my front tendons considering the fact that I've bought the shoe bigger than expected. I've ran around 50 kilometers and saw some wear on the midsole but not on the outsole. I recommend people to buy this shoe but make sure you choose wisely or you would waste your money.

Fast Shoe

Ewan · Mar 10, 2024

4/5

Overall

Great shoe for long tempos as reps as short as 800m, I didn't feel like I could turn my legs over quick enough due to the high stack height and unstable nature of the shoe. But feels great over the longer efforts as there is a very nice transition between strides and feels very smooth.

Worth the mondey

Asgeir · Dec 21, 2023

5/5

Overall

I ran about 500k on this shoe on all kinds of surfaces, slippery on mud but who can blame the shoe, holds together really good so far, did a lot of longruns and it really is a comfortable shoe compared to half the price shoes out there.

Best competition shoe, especially in wet conditions

Christian · Nov 27, 2023

5/5

Overall

The shoe is my first choice for competitions. Especially the Continental sole is the best when it rains and the track is wet. 

I like the fit, I normally only wear Nike Pegasus shoes, I think the fit is similar. you can feel the support of the shoe. It tilts perfectly for me.
