Adidas Adios Boost 3 sizing question

No clue

I don't know what you're hinting at. But if you think I'm a fool for paying a hundred for these I can tell you that here it's not like in the US where you can get last years model for 30 dollar.

Adidas sizing is a little different from other brands I thought.


But thanks for getting this on first page again, champ!

As someone who has run in the zante and adios boost 2, I can say that those shoes differed by something like half a size. I could comfortable fit in the zante at size 11US and 11.5US for the adios. I had both size 11 and 11.5 for the adios boost and preferred the smaller of the two for racing while using the bigger one for regular training runs. The biggest difference in the sizing comes from the adidas being relatively narrow and the new balance being relatively wide. I hear they've made the adios 3 a little more loose-fitting, so you might want to wait to have someone chime in on that

Overall, I'd say you should get the 11.5 for the adios.

I've had the adios 1, 2, boost 1, and boost 2. They fit true to size for me in each model. Assume 3 is the same.

Thanks guys.

From what I saw in size charts, a US 11.5 should be ok. 29,5 cm, like all of my other running shoes.

The thing that made me question it were some reviews in which people complained about them running very small and having to return them to "order whole size[s] up, at least". But I guess those guys must have really wide feet or something.

Damn, this is annoying.

The sizing charts on different sites are not consistent. Some say the US11.5 is 29.5cm, some say the US11.5 is 29cm.

Can somebody tell me which of the two is right?

I know man, I just hate sending stuff back and waiting for a new pair.

Better to spend the time before ordering, obsessing about sizing. Not really ;)

I need a half size bigger in the adios boost compared to the Zante, and pretty much every other running shoe. I'm 10.5 in everything, but 11 in the adios boost. This has been true for the boost 1, boost 2 and boost 3. It wasn't the case with the old adios. 10.5 in those was the best fitting shoe I ever raced in.

I ordered the adios boost 3 from Wiggle in 10.5 and 11, and the 10.5 was just too tight in the midfoot and at the balls of the feet, and I don't have particularly wide feet.

oops didn't saw your post, booost. Thx for the advice.

I went with my normal size 11.5 and am glad I did. The toebox is [very] narrow on the medial side, but a 12 would have been way too long.

The blue version looks good! A really cool shoe.

Adidas sizing isn't as generous as Nike, I wear a nike us 9.5, an adidas us 10, but asics is super wonky, either a 10.5 US (which are rarely sold in North America!) or even a US 11 in their women's trailshoes. Sizing is all over the map, regardless which sizing system you look at (I am anywhere between a Euro 39 to 43.5!!!). Even between midels

My personal preference is for adidas and I wear only the 3-stripes.

So as much as I love the brand and think that much of it's product offering, R&D etc is fantastic, given the number and range of running products I purchase, it's also means that I easily spot areas that let it down.

One such area is inconsistent quality of the finished product and inconsistent shoe size. I won't rant on about that in detail now but suffice to say that everytime (and I mean everytime) I buy a new adidas running shoe I always buy at least two pairs of the shoe in my size so I can directly compare not only quality of the finished shoes but more importantly the SPECIFIC size. My experience is that the same size shoes can vary by upto appx 1/2 a size. I know that sound bonkers but that's what I find with about 50% of my purchases. In other words the size on the box and on the manufacturers tag inside the shoe is a guide but not definitive. There is absolutely no substitute for trying the shoes on and making sure they work for you. To be clear, I'm not saying the size on the box/shoe is wrong, rather that one pair of, say, size 10.5 shoes can feel more like 10 and another of the same show more like size 11 which must be down to the manufacturing process and the tolerences that are allowed. This is why I always buy from a retailer (esp the adidas online shop) with free return shipping so that I can return the pair of shoes that are poorest on finished quality and specific size.

As as example I recently purchased a pair of Adios 3 in Bright Royal. Two pairs as normal layed side by side and I swear one pair was 1/2 size smaller. I should have at least tried them both and measured them, inside and out but on this ocassion did not have much spare time so simply rejected the smaller (and poorer quailty) pair and sent them back.

So my advice is try at least two pairs on of the same size shoe and pick the best one for you. If no difference great, easy choice. But you'll be amazed at how often the difference is significant.

The Boost 3 remains a shoe designed for speed whether you are going out or a fast daily track workout or tackling a weekend marathon.

I have put around 170 miles on the shoe during testing and the comfort and responsive nature of the Boost Mid sole is still felt during each run.
