I enjoyed the review. I just purchased the Adios Pro 2 on heavy discount, and beat my mile PR at the end of a workout last weekend. Glad to hear the v3 is working for you.
To give the length a bit more room...instead of folding the tab inwards..... use a piece of KT tape down the achilles ...it'll prevent any small rubbing issues and takes up no room 👍
I have the adios 6 after countless recommendations from Ed Budd. I use it for my speed work outs, but I don’t have any true super shoes. Wouldn’t be something I’d recommend for long distance as the cushioning is firm.
Glad that you really like the Adios Pro 3. I recently got it to supplement the VaporFly 2 and Endorphin Pro 3 in my racing shoe stable and I wasn't so sure about it at first, but it has really started to grow on me and I'm liking it more and more with every run. I guess it's one of those shoes that need some break-in and getting the upper to fit properly along with the lacing. It felt a little stiff initially but loosened up nicely with more miles. I also have the Takumi Sen 8 which I really loved from my first run and this is similar in feel and ride but, to me, it seems need to more fidgeting and break-in. I need to do a long 10+ mile run to really get it to conform to my feet and running style but I feel I confident it'll get there. I can see why it's not for everyone and it isn't one of the most comfortable shoes out there, but it's very responsive and gives back what you put into it.
@@i.p2088 The TS8 is a little narrower all-round than the AP3, mainly in the mid-foot area. The TS8 has 33mm stack height at the heel so it certainly has decent cushioning. I think it'll be fine for half-marathon distance although I've never taken it that far. I've done some 6~8 mile runs at relaxed paces and they felt really good.
I’m really glad you finally found a pair that fits, and the best colourway 🙂also I really love these best out of all the new carbon racers , fast and soft without being squishy and they are a big improvement over v2 ,and with these and saucony pro 3 they are so versatile which for me I’m getting value for money , love love them 🔥
V2 are not the most confy shoes I have. Maybe it is the main reason why I dont think about running a half marathon in them (for these proposals I prefer Alphafly, Vaporfly and PrimeX strung), but definetely they are one of the most snappy shoes I have tried so that my 5 k PR are in them. Iam excited to see your long run impressions!
Great workout!! I ordered my pair Yesterday i use 11 1/2 but i opted for 12 size us im excited by the shoe! I rhink that going up a half size is good tje old adizero pro runs narrow but long this shoe looks some less narrow and not to long.
Interesting to hear your thoughts Andy. I just got hold of 2 pairs of Adios 6’s for only £40 each. Not on the same level but still fast for me. Come next spring I want to race a marathon in a carbon plated trainer. Still not decided which one yet but it’s good to hear the options. Nice to see you back out on the sessions again 👍
@@joelmead - I got them from m and m direct. I’ve just checked and they are now £36.99 (ladies) There are lots of adidas styles, with big discounts. I’ve just checked and they have mens adios adizero pro 2.0 for £99.99 - all sizes in stock
Efforts are the ideal opportunity to practice taking the fluids in. Do it during the recovery to start with, then when that sits you can do it during the effort. Then if you need to vomit or 💩 you can get it done during the rest.
Hi Thanks for the review Have you had a chance to test this Vs the prime x - if I’m looking for a long run / marathon training option for tired legs ( not necessarily for race day) For my long runs using my speed 3’s which I love and was going to try the novoblast 3 as an option Thanks !
That radical toe box angle: do you roll thru that on footstrike or push off? Hoping that the angle would encourage a rolling thru because pushing off forcefully causes,shin and knee issues.
As you know I love the Hyperion Tempo for basically any run up to 8km. Easy or Tempo all good. How do you compare the Adidas Adizero Pro 3 or Takumi Sen 8? How wide are the Adidas? Does the adizero Pro 3 midsole feel like the Hyperion Tempo midsole? 🙄
The adidas midsole you get more propulsion, definitely bouncier but at the same time they’re slightly on the firmer side like the tempo 👍 as for sizing… they ran slightly small for me… width was ok though 👍
Did an all out work out a while ago and i still find the running feeling weird ........BUT ! I was so surprised that i was able to hold a fast (personal fast) pace much longer than my other CF racers 😲 . I know LS pro gets better in time so will see if it gets better in the future. The "shark skin" or "cat tongue " heel pads felt like they were pulling my socks down (weird as my v2 does not do that). Have the endo pro 3 waiting in the wings so will also see how that shoe does.
Adios pro3 does encourage a fast turnover and a smooth roll..it definitely is a forefoot running shoe..unfortunately for me all adidas shoes giveup around the 10k distance..I use the pro3 and Takumi Sen for all out 5k races that usually need a fast kick at the end..I very seldom have Achilles issues but would use moleskin on the heel and I use it for some shoes that don't have enough padding on inside of the tongue, the Takumi Sen 8..
Hi Andy, i got to recieve them this morning , bought them with -25% discounted price for BF lol...OG colorway...lets try them and see if it' ll be my goto shoes for Paris instead of my VF2s😁🔥
Adidas' LightStrike Pro foam...I really like. And, I intend to buy the Pro 3. If Adidas ever refunds me for a pair of Prime X Strung I sent back almost a month ago. (A half inch too big, absolutely unworn)
I’ve don’t know if going up to a 14 would give too much width and then a sloppy fit? I can’t honestly answer that sadly… I’ve got used to my 13.5 now or maybe they’ve stretched a bit!
@@TheFODRunner Ok I Guess I’ll it a try to the 14, because I’m used to have that thumb of space. As I’ll not use them much pre race, I want to avoid issues on race day 😁. Thanks mate
@@TheFODRunner thank you. It's the midfoot I struggle with as the ones I've tried are really slim and the orthotics don't fit very well. Might give them a try if I can find a discount code!
I've just got my size 8 yesterday.. Regarding the workout, does you watch allow you add the two splits into one so the 1km reps along with the 300m runs? Hope that makes sense lol
Awesome! I set the workout up in my garmin app so I just rolled through it in one workout 👍 it allowed me to set up 3 x 1k then 6k 300m and I just manually paused the watch I between the two for the 4 mins rest
It's strange for an adidas shoe to be getting such high praise, they usually finish well behind Nike and Saucony in the super shoe reviews. You mentioned cross country Andy, do you run in competition for your club?
I think the Adios Pro 3 is one of those shoes that one either really likes or doesn't like at all. I got it recently and compared to the VaporFly 2 and the Endorphin Pro 3 which I also have, it is rather "peculiar" in the way it fits and rides but, once you run in it for a while over a long distance, it starts breaking in real nicely. At first, it felt pretty stiff and a little clunky compared to the VF2 and EP3, but I really like it now and it's growing on me with every run. Still looking to try the AlphaFly (1 or 2) but pretty happy with what I have now for race/speed shoes. My fave is the Takumi Sen 8. I feel like I'm flying with it although it's much better suited for 5K~10K and maybe half-marathon.
It’s taken over 12 hours to watch this, started at 7.30 a.m. - some serous paces hit… I thought your form looked good at the start of the video - Matt better watch out.
Hmmm.. your remark about your speed work might be faster than what the shoe is designed to. I think your wrong. I think adidas for sure think they designed a shoe that can beat the world record 😊 and I believe that’s 2,52min/km so somewhat faster than what your putting in it :)

I’m really hoping the next version of the takumi sen, they make a UK 13.5! As I’ve only heard positive things about the shoe 👍
How do you compare the Takumi sen 8 to the Pro 3 in fit? Same width and TTS? Midsole in the Takumi Sen 8 enough for a long run in easy pace?

@@racheld1844 ah thanks, I use that site a lot but don't wear woman's shoes, sadly bc there are some great prices.
Have you ever try ADIZERO TAKUMI SEN 8 ? ? if you like Adios Pro 3 you might like Takumi S8 🙂
No, sadly they don’t do that one in my size yet!

You’d think it would feel drastic but it’s actually not, it just encourages a nice roll through!

I have always found with adidas I have to go up a half size
How wide is it inside in comparison with Alphaflys? I have custom orthotics and really struggling to find a race shoe that fits them.
The alphas have a narrower midfoot but the toebox feels about the same width 👍

I haven’t tried the prime x so I don’t know sorry! Hopeuflly someone else can help 🤞
get the adios pro 3 so you don't get disqualified just in case you win the race or break the world record
I couldn't get the discount code to work at all. Any advice? Is anyone able to post up one that works?
Sadly it doesn’t seem to work any more, they’ve removed the ability to apply a code against the shoe… seemed to only last a few days!
@@TheFODRunner ah okay. Thanks Andy. I'll wait for a deal. 220 is too much for me.
What watch do you use?
Garmin forerunner 245
@@TheFODRunner Ah nice, thanks Andy. Love the channel, real inspiration. I've just got a pair of these Adios 3's after your video and they're amazing

What happened near the front of the shoe? Looks like you cut some part out of it!
Haha it’s part of the design
It might be a good shoe, but i just don't like the look of it, that big slab of midsole, i just can't fall in love with that.
