Adidas Adios Boost 3.0 question. What's the verdict? As good as the 2.0?

no. i'm going back to the new balance . they changed something and it doesn't fit the same.

Terrible. They made it wider, and I develop hot spots all over the sole probably due to the over generous rubber. Look and feel cheaper. Uglier. I ran through 6 pairs of adios boost 2; getting in about 500mi per pair. Can't wait until this pair of ab3 hits 500 so I can junk them. Not happy with what Adidas did to my favorite shoe.

Same. They made the midfoot wider and now the shoe slides around for me at anything faster than like 7 min miles. Terrible.

I love them and am happy with the 3.0. I've done racing, speed work and up to 20 mile training runs in them and they always performed well. Felt fast and durable. I agree they are wider as the others are saying, but for me it works well and actually prefer it. By contrast the adidas Boston 5 is too narrow for me (if you are familiar with that shoe).

I've been really liking the 3s.

Favorite racing shoe for half-full

I totally agree. The Boston 5 is very narrow and I need to size up. When I do it, the fit is alittle goofy... I can't wear the shoe.Meanwhile the Adios 3 fits like an absolute dream and like a distance racing flat should.I wear the same size in the Glide and that fits perfect for a long distance trainer (a little bigger than the adios)I'm hoping that the new Boston will be sized like the Adios 3

I'm glad the 3.0 Adios Boost is good. However, didn't the winner last Monday wear the 2.0 version?

Any fast runners wear the 3.0 last Monday?

Haha. No. Kenyans don't have feet like the Flintstones.

It looked like Ian Burrell was wearing the Boost. Which version? Hard to tell.

Third in the mens.

Until more winners wear the 3.0's, I'll trust the 2.0's more. 2.0s are back available at running warehouse BTW. They are going fast in the smaller sizes.

Best thing about the 3.0 coming out is that I can now get the originals for $29.

Where do you get them for $29? Never seen that.

2.0's almost out of stock already at running warehouse. I picked up another pair already. Since it is boost material, they should last longer in storage too.

adidas has the one narrow shoe and that is going away. constant headache.

i just paid 130 for an adios boost 2 on ebay

Fu\ck, if the 3 is wider it's not for me. So is this what the Prime is about? Description says it's basically the AB2 with a knit upper - and of course it's $200.
