Hello from Athens Greece! A massive adidas fan! I have done 140miles with my pros 3 and they are like new... mostly for races from 5ks to half marathons and done also and one marathon with them. Great shoe for my feet 14 UK size.. always finish my runs with relaxed feet and no pain issues to feet or knees. Always keep them in the box, always clean them after every run and always rotate never two days in the row... that's why they are like new... lots of sole under even for my size (6,5" / 208 p.) Fantastic for marathon from the first till the last mile... with no different step during the race, it holds the same in all the race duration. Now I have also takumi Sen 8 which I love them even more... great midsole but even better upper than the pro 3. Keep up the excellent work! Tall men can run!

Close to 650km in my Pro 3 at the moment and they have just began to fail on inside of the left shoe the upper has started to rip away from the midsole. But I have to agree about Lightstike Pro the stuff is phenomenal! It seems to just bed in after about 50km and just kept going. Hopefully the V4 sorts out the lacing keeps the rest of the shoe the same 🎉

Just checking and 162 miles for me and doing fine although I did a race a 10K in my oldest UK 13.5 VF1 with now 335 miles on them on Sunday so got a way to go yet :) I kind of feel in our UK 13.5 size this AP3 is our "real" super trainer and have used this quite a lot of late for longish runs but have done some "speed" sessions in it. I think the "problem" for us is these are just a bit heavier than the VF1/VF3 and EP3 and to me they don't feel as lively. Indeed 30g heavier over the VF3. I did "squeeze" into the AP1 & AP2 in a UK 12.5 and interestingly they have chopped about 10g off the AP3 compared to the AP2 but I did not find the AP2 a little more "lively" albeit just a bit unstable. Interesting point about shoes getting wider and more stable which agree is a turn off for me but I do have a narrow foot. Does beg the question though of why they do this as the elites aren't seemingly using "old" shoes or special versions.

I have the AAAP v1 and v2. The v1 might be my favourite shoe of all time. I can remember the first time i took them out and it was like having wild horses tied to my feet and I literally laughed out loud at how they made you gun it so hard. Just pure joy. The v2 i have a love/hate relationship with. I've never known a shoe that made me feel i might turn an ankle as much as that one. Its always been in the back of my mind when wearing it.And yet its a shoe that despite the crazy instability delivers. I'm so tempted to get the v3 now its appearing in sales. Got to say that the wider base does appeal, even if it sounds like the wild horses have been reined in a bit !

I had the pro 2 and ran 417 miles in them mainly as a long run shoe. After 350 miles you get valleys in the outsole underneath the rods and one of the rods snapped which is a common fault, this may be different for heal strikers as I midfoot strike. I feel it was a great long workout shoe as on the firmer side without being too firm but would not use them as a race shoe. Vaporfly and Metaspeed sky are both faster although the Metaspeed is not as comfortable underfoot for me. I would definitely consider version 3 for a long distance training shoe.

Apart from some wear on the heel, on the left shoe the rubber has come off the heel so there’s a patch of just foam, they are still looking good. Find the Boston 12 a little more comfortable/stable so not sure if to just wear them for my upcoming marathon or use the Pro 3 again.

I really like the sensation of bounce from Takumi Sen 8. However, Pro 3 did not give me same feeling. Maybe carbon rods vs fiberglass rods in Takumi is the difference. I don't know.

I have got this shoe in the exact same size as Andy. Personally I found the upper took quite a few runs to "dial in" whereas the upper on say the VF1 just hugs the foot "better" - well in my experience. It is heavier than other super shoes too. So I think that is where he is coming from. Also it is a shoe neither of us really would be our first choice to race in so then when reviewing a shoe I feel you need to talk about RRP but obviously if can get one at a discount so much the better.

There’s a difference between a “slick and snug fit” over the top of the foot and “toes rubbing on the end of the shoe and it other places”. Vaporfly hugs your food tightly but doesn’t rub anywhere… this one does, or did I should say! Secondly, I agree with the foam, at the moment lightstrike pro is one of my favourites, as I mentioned…. The takumi is incredible as well and I’m having a blast with them, so no disagreement there 👍 And regardless of if I got it half price, you want bang for your buck with super shoes right? again good job I said it felt like it was indestructible eh and could go for miles and miles, because that’s what it feels like
