Good to see you have tried these. I have the exact same colour and size. Good you can get a discount now - that saves masses. You alluded to it towards the end but adidas UK sizing is like New Balance & Hoka and everything is 0.5 more so a UK 13.5 is the exact same size as a UK 13 in say Nike or Saucony. They all are US 14 or 32 cm. I will leave aside ASICS as they seem to have their own system! So I think you have the "right" size in relation to what you normally have. I recall your feet are actually 30.5 cm whereas mine as 30.2 cm and recall 30.5 cm is right on the border of what adidas recommend for a UK 13.5 so not surprised if you are a bit borderline. Mine fit fine but equally they are not voluminous so you might be better a whole size up as I recall sometimes you do in say New Balance. As for the shoe itself, I had to have many goes getting the lockdown right after first few runs as they did, like you said, work loose. The tab at the back I think you are the first person to sort of use it. Think meant to be a heel tab. I just keep it flapped back and haven't got any rubbing/Achilles issues. If you have that flap folded forward that won't help any length issues as you will be thrown forward. Performance for me in the Adios Pro 3 I still am "sort of" trying to decide. It typically runs bit faster than I think and did well when I first had them up against the Alphafly 2 although might need to repeat that as now got more used to both. Didn't find that great for just "steady" long runs but I guess if you buy a racing shoe you want to perform best when trying hard as it were. adidas grip always good although I do find this one a little unstable through corners.
Thanks mate, isn’t it nice we can get their shoes now in our size! I’ve noted the sizing for future, it’s very odd but honestly, a hoka 13.5 and new balance often has more room than this, I do wonder if a 14 would suit me better 🤔 beggars can’t be choosers though!
Love this shoe. Got it 40% off this summer and have raced it at the half marathon distance leg of my half Ironman. Been doing 10 mile time trial with it at half marathon speed and it’s snappy and stable for me. I’ve really loved all the Adidas shoes I’ve picked up recently Boston 10, Sen 8 and adios pro 3.
Finally you listened to us ... and I think you will love it even more in the long term when the shoe will break in and become even better.. you are also fine with shoes that are a little firmer and that's subjective. For me the shoe is soft and nice because i train in a heavy daily trainer that isn't is a superfoam. But it can feel firm for people who are only running with Zoomx.People don't not even know anymore what a firm shoe is because pratically all shoes know are pretty soft compared to 10 years ago.. When I see your history of shoes, you very liked the carbon x a few years ago , the endorphin pro ( 1ste edition), zoomfly 5 so the adidas adizero adios pro 3 can become your new favorite for the marathon distance..😉 tnx for the testing!
Thanks! It’s so nice they finally created sizes big enough for me to test! Yes I think it could become my favourite, I’ll do some more testing this week!
Hi Andy! Glad to see you testing Lighstrike Pro, an absolutely amazing midsole foam. I have tested Adios Pro 2 and I find them extremely fast, forgiving, although a little bit unstable for my marathon Pace. Currently Iam testing PrimeX strung and I am enjoying them a lot! What an incredible running feeling mate! Great video as always!
Andy, Kiern from the run testers also had tightness and some rubbing initially but after a run or two he said it sorted itself out and hasn't had a problem since. The upper appears to have a slight break in period. So hyped to hear your thoughts and can't wait for the long run report.
I got a pair of pro 2's (as a comparison) that i really like and although i'v only put about 50 mi in them including a 20m race and a marathon . You do have to take tight bends with a slight caution which I expect is an improvement in the 3's but I guess the foam is the same. The 2's are a Great marathon choice and I can see why you have a smile on your face testing the 3's. Good luck on getting them at that kind of price in more normal size 10 !!. what a bargain. Ian

@@teresavanlokven9767 you're so light. Maybe you can try the 3 at the shop first to see how they fit you. But then again, when I first tried them I hated it due to the scrunchy upper.

@@livegreatalways Great to see people running at 65, especially women. I am 71 and everyday something niggly but I get thru it. Actually running more now than 7 years ago and 6 days a week to boot but slower. Keep it up!
@@jameswestmoreland9717 that is simply awesome. Both my parents don't even live past 60. So you guys especially women still keeping it so fit after 60 are an inspiration to all!
You have to try the Takumi Sen if you haven't already... a more stripped down model but excellent cushon and responsiveness. Used it for half marathon and it was phenomenal!
Fordyruns loves it too. My only concern is the tongue, I have a terrible time with biting in a lot of running shoes. May order it to try it out and see what the hype is about.
Pulled the trigger because of a discount and i like it much better than the 2 . But my problems are the toe off (seems that this shoe still wants you to run a certain way ) , US 10.5 in the V2 went .5 down on this (thank god i went to the store and not order online) , though more neutral ride than the 2 (for me , no more latteral collapse but still seems to be a slight lateral bias )the mid design could be simplified (form over function i think, too much fluff while sacrificing a possible more stable ride but stability is ok ) , lastly ; i like the of the tongue of the 2 better . Love light strike pro (not too much sinking feeling but bounces back fast and very very durable too plus gets better over time ).
Since I run with Vaporfly Next v1 I never surprise with other shoe. AAAP3 is a BULLET🏃🏃🏃🏃😲😲 with minimal effort bounces and go faster and faster. Awesome comfy, snappy and fast shoe. I decide run my next marathon with these. 😉
It's an amazing pair right? I have the same color and they're beautiful. My feet felt so protected and stable. Once cruising at MP, it just locked in the pace. 🔒 . And unlike the Alphafly, this feels very natural to the strides. But no such discount at my place, instead; always has a tag, "All promo exclusions".Tq for the review.
Interesting thoughts about the quick turnover. A lot of folks reviewing the shoe leaned towards it being a bit of a cruiser. Good for marathon pace but not for faster stuff. Thanks for the solid review
I think if I’d of taken it on a MP workout I might of said different? But these k reps are some of the fastest I’ve run and the 300s… well I’ve never run them so quick. Garmin shows my cadence to be really high (for me) too so 🤷♂️
I got the same colorway of AAAP3 for $175 from RunningWarehouse (USA site). I got them US10 which is my normal size. I am surprised that the toebox is extremely roomy, but the length is right for me. In comparison, I had my Takumi Sen 8 in US9.5. I have to cinch the laces more aggressively in Pro 3. I am going to take them to a 13-mile long run this weekend.
I have the Adizero Prime X Strung. It too has LightStrike Pro midsole.... lots of it. This foam is sooo reactive. Almost a pure spring with very little damping. In engineer speak - High Q Prime X shares the same fun to run livelyness.
I ordered my pair in size 12 us ,usually i use 11 1/2 us but many p opl said that run short and other said that is some narrow, i have an adizero pro in 11 1/2 us and fit me.perfect but i opted for 12 in these to see i waitng to arrive my pair in th purple colorwah!
Very useful comments around the width / tightness around the big toe joint. Anyone with a bunion like myself will know this is a no straight away. Thanks. You'd think shoe manufacturers would know better by now.
Yeah if you had bunions it would 💯 be a no go, my feet are wide and this upper ended up moulding to my feet just fine, but no extra room that’s for sure!
I'm so on the fence with this shoe. I owed the Prime X and the adios pro 2 and just could not get on with them 😤 I love the Lightstrike Pro foam but for some reason the two shoes mentioned above just caused me lower leg issues, so just don't know if I can risk losing a load more money if I have the same issue with the Pro 3 🤷🏻♂️
Nice to hear this one has been working for you. Having run alot in the Pro 2 and a little bit in the Pro 3, I have to say I preferred the Pro 2. This one feels very Marathon focused. Also, the flap thing at the back is meant to be like a foldable pulltab. Technically not meant to fold inside but why not if it works:)
Thanks! Im just super grateful they’ve finally created them in my size 🙏 it’ll be nice to test more shoes from adidas moving forwards…. Oh well, if it’s a pull tab then I’m using it for Achilles protection 😂
Lightstrike pro is a great midsole. Durable and gets better the more you use it. V3 is much better than v2 imo. I hope this carbon fiber rods don’t break, my v2s broke still feels fine just a loud click if pressed too hard in opposite direction of the toe spring design in the midsole.
Think I blew it but NOT going up 1/2 a size... Balanced betwen choosing my regular sizing or going up half a size (as I do with HOKA), but was concerned about heel-slipage. Being a marathon shoe, they should definetily not run short when I run in them, or I will suffer.
You're lucky that tightness loosened up. It cuts into my foot, which is such a shame as the shoe otherwise is amazing, but unusable for me with those loops. The prime x is the same. Hopefully they bring out a strung version without those stupid loops
Hi Andy. I use US sizing with all shoes. My UK size 10 is a US 11 in majority of shoes except Adidas and New Balance which are US 11 = UK 10½. Two exceptions asics Noosa Tri 14 and Novablast 3 I was ½ a size down to UK 9½. Nike a UK 10 is to long and a UK 9½ to tight. So a general rule I find is go by US sizing.
Grip is greats also much lower drop ( 6 mm ) compare to other super shoes ( most of them > 8 mm ) .I'm not sure in UK but US price $$$ you can get a pair around $175 in black/ green or White 🙂
That’s a good comparison, not too dissimilar actually, both slightly firmer than the “zoom x’s” of the running shoe world but both still responsive. However the adidas one is softer..: it’s somewhere inbetween the two
I haven’t tried pro 1 and pro 2 so can’t comment! I got them direct from adidas but the discount option against the shoe seems to of been removed now… it seemed to only be allowed for a few days!
I had to get true to size as I’m a UK 13 normally but a 13.5 in adidas and going up to 14.5 is too much, but toe room isn’t great… I know some people who stayed true to size and others who went half a size up!
@@TheFODRunner I'm a UK 8 but an 8.5 in hokas and I've bought these online at a size 8.5 I tried on a friend's 9.5 and they where way to big so I'm hoping that they fit just as well as the hokas
Been away and just catching up on the videos. This comment is more about the last video I'm also tossing and turning between the great welsh marathon and manchester. The latter is one I'd rather do 10 times out of 10, but the other is less than an hour from me so it'll be cheap to do. Would be cool to meet you if you do the welsh one though!
@@TheFODRunner it certainly does. Ever done the marathon in tenby as part of the long course weekend? Not a pb course but i have a massive soft spot for it. My absolute favourite
I haven't tried the Pro 3. I'm on the fence about it. I do have the Takumi Sen 8 and Prime X Strung so not sure I need it. As far as sizing goes I'm 11.5US in New Balance and Nike invincible and alphafly 2 and Saucony speed 2 and 3 and brooks Hyperion tempo. On the ts8 and prime x strung I half sized down to 11US which is perfect. My feet are normal width.
@@TheFODRunner yes in US sizing I go down a half. I replaced the alphafly 2 with the Prime X strung after the alphafly had an air pod deflate. 11.5 US alphafly 11.0 US Prime x....

I’ve always found Adidas shoes are narrow and very, very snug. I always knock it up .5 size up to my usual shoes 👌 Looks like they helped you fly during that session though! 😮
Hi to everyone on the channel. Kudos from Belize. Would anyone be able to give me their comparison between the pro 2 and the pro 3 for the half and/or full marathon?
I can't wear these due to the lateral cutout at the toe. I feel like I underpronate and the faster I go the more laterally I toeoff. Right where there is void on this shoe, I typically put the most wear on racing shoes. Also the toe spring puts the toes in too much extension for me as I'm really sensitive to metatarsalgia. So this shoe is mainly all a big red flag for me.
Welcome to the Adidas fans of the adizero line! I was sure that you ate going to enjoy the shoe is the best option for big fast runners lke you mote durable and mote stable than saucony and nike for sure!
Anyone tried this, as well as the Prime Strung version? I found the strung way too tight but loved the midsole so was considering the standard one in the hopes it would be less restrictive?

Where did you purchase from? Can you share the discount code?
Bought them direct from adidas. Just Google “adidas discount code”…. Here’s one - WH9C-TTW5-T5TR-KT46H
Hi to everyone on the channel. Kudos from Belize. Would anyone be able to give me their comparison between the pro 2 and the pro 3 for the half and/or full marathon?
👋 hope someone can advise! I haven’t tried version 2
I can't wear these due to the lateral cutout at the toe. I feel like I underpronate and the faster I go the more laterally I toeoff. Right where there is void on this shoe, I typically put the most wear on racing shoes. Also the toe spring puts the toes in too much extension for me as I'm really sensitive to metatarsalgia. So this shoe is mainly all a big red flag for me.
Ah gutted, sorry to hear this!
Trampoline like feel 👍
Yes!
An Adidas for wide feet.?
Yeah… I have wide feet, i had a bit of rubbing at the start but the upper seemed to mold to my feet thankfully 👍
Welcome to the Adidas fans of the adizero line! I was sure that you ate going to enjoy the shoe is the best option for big fast runners lke you mote durable and mote stable than saucony and nike for sure!
I can’t wait to see how long they last!
I still think the 2 was more fun. Maybe it's the drop that does it for me
Anyone tried this, as well as the Prime Strung version? I found the strung way too tight but loved the midsole so was considering the standard one in the hopes it would be less restrictive?
