I would say I have pretty normal feet. I typically wear a US 11.5, but I got these in 11 as I have always found the pro s to run a little long in the toe box. Would not change that decision at all. They are also on the narrow end in terms.of upper width. If you want that snugger race fit , going down 1/2 was perfect. If you don't mind a little extra room after the toes , then it's true to size. Hope that helps

@@yani.leigh. i appreciate the answer, and if you could please answer the 2nd half of my question would be much appreciated, ***im gonna add prime x2 strung to the list of that cause im not really concerned about stack

Sorry I totally missed that part. So I'm a mid/forefoot striker as well. In all honesty I didn't really love the VF3 in a lot of ways. I tend to prefer the more protective shoes as well , fast/snappy but also forgiving in the later miles. I haven't tried the paris yet, it's high on my list. The sky+ was one of my favorite shoes last year from what I'm hearing it's a bit softer as well which would be a plus in terms of marathon distance . For me the adios pro 3 is an all all rounder. It's light (not the lightest in class) , it's soft (not the softest in class) , incredible energy return (again not #1 in class) but for me ranks top 3 in everything. Durability is A+ as well I used it in Boston last year and ran 2:55 comfortably ! So I might be a touch bias but ultimately it's whatever gets you the most excited about running and going fast

It's so nice! I'm glad you enjoy them

Best of luck with the 60k! Let me know how it all goes!

It's an amazing entry level carbon plated shoe forsure. Not to aggressive , can handle all speeds and very comfortable. I use this for every type of session and it only seems to get better !

Love to hear it! Thanks for watching

Definitely not for everyone, but a personal favorite for me! What did you use most for training ?

My most used shoe would be the ASICS novablasts 1 2 and 3 , I have hokas and many others but ASICS are my favourite, although I'm just starting to clock up miles on some Boston 11s I just bought and I like them too . Keeping running my friend 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️​@@yani.leigh.

Thank you !

Yes!!!

Thank you! I wish I could say I ve ran in the 1080 but unfortunately I have not yet!

Imagine if Adidas cared enough to pay a small CZcams channel to review a shoe. That d be unreal. Unfortunately my wallet says otherwise . Thanks for watching!

Kudos for a lovely reply! I agree with everything u said in the review, Kudos for honesty and integrity 🙏🏻❤️

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

Very much so! But an entirely different shoe with an even bigger difference in price! With full transparency, I have bought and tried most of the Boston's and have yet to ever fall in love with one. The prime x I would grab for any run any time , it's a lot of fun.

100% I have to give it as my favorite non plated daily trainer of the year for sure and it's not really close ! Plus after hundreds of miles, the outsole is still A+

That's a steal for sure! In Canada they hardly ever go on sale , so anything under full is an absolute win for sure!

@@yani.leigh. Currently I found them even cheaper, at 112€ at my size(9,5 US, 43 EU) on a local store. That's half the price(the RRP was 250€ here when the shoe came out)

100% they re both great options. For me it's definitely the elite but out of the box, pro 3 has a much better on foot feel. It's hard to justify the elite being so expensive then needing to have a break in period

@@yani.leigh. Yea thats true, I mean I am going to sub 3 pace so I am not sure if I would get the benefit at the speeds I would be going.

@@sldorse42 your next race has to be coming up pretty soon ?

@@yani.leigh. September 22nd man in Indiana. on week 9 of my training plan so 11 more weeks of death in the summer lol

I really didn't do to many time trials leading up! I had a training session where I ran a 1:25 half and there was a 10km race where I ran a 38 minute 10 km. It had a 300 foot hill at the end . But just a lot of interval training sessions 2-3 mile repeats and so on! That's awesome! What's the goal time?

@@yani.leigh. cheers bro, goal is 2:58 :) 39days time.

Good luck out there! Go get it

@@yani.leigh. with your 2 to 3mile Intervals what pace or heartrate were you aiming on like marathon pace or half marathon pace or lactate threshold long Intervals?

Couldn't agree more. Congrats on that time too!

@@yani.leigh. thank you! Was going to wear the Hoka X'2 but i think i made the right decision

Appreciate it! Hope all is well with you too!

Appreciate it! Same to you :)

Thanks !! They re starting to come regularly now! Happy to be able to get back to it!

I realized that while I was editing! Some of the video corrupted and I lost the majority of clips referring to the shoes. So I put the vaporfly 3 in the thumbnail and title to compensate. Sorry it wasn't more clear!

I ve actually very much enjoyed them for slower stuff. But one thing is that they are more on the firm side and definitely have more ground feel. The energy return and responsiveness are A+ but if you're looking at something a little more soft, I definitely would recommend something else!

I went true to size but I wish I went a half size up! Toes are right at the end of the shoe which is fine on the flats but the second youre going a touch downhill, it's very noticeable

I went a full size up and they fit perfectly going downhill isn't a issue, in fact there is no issues with these shoes at all

Hey I appreciate that! Thank you. Hope all is well with you

@@yani.leigh. I'm thinking I will get a pair of Prime X Strung for the tempo and interval run. Do you think it's a good idea?

I think if it's something you're willing to put out the money for it's a lot of fun and you definitely can't go wrong with that choice!

@@yani.leigh. Thanks Yani, how are you today? it will be great choice I think! Cause the price in my country is quite good, 170$. Also, I have watched your review of Adizero SL, do you prefer SL or Puma Velocity Nitro 2?

Thanks Anthony! Feels good to get up and moving again

Not a dumb question at all haha, Single! The one that was questioned and had multiple never made it to market so any alphaflys you can purchase all meet the world athletic standards which is 1 carbon plate and a max stack height of 40 mm!

Thanks Chris! How's the sub 3 program going? Oh it's absolutely outrageously priced. No chance I would touch that price range again unless I was in the same situation. 100% the most fun I ve had running though , that shoe is the definition of cruise control !

@@yani.leigh. not so great. During my last 2 attempts (last April and April 2022) I experienced muscle cramps on my left calf . That didn’t stopped me but I finished in 3:14 and 3:07 respectively. The closest I came to my goal was in November 2021 when I ran a 3:04 marathon.

Ahh you're right there!! That breakthrough is coming asap. Making more attempts this year ?

@@yani.leigh. Maybe, if I find a relatively flat marathon AND overcome my calf injury(left calf is not completely healed)

I'm hoping you can. Never appreciate how nice it is to run pain free until you're injured

Thanks Scotty! Hope you're doing well, staying healthy and getting that training in!

Thank you!

I did yeah unfortunately that's just how some Knits work for me, regardless of sock

Hey! Unfortunately I have not. I've heard really good things about it though. I typically stay away from the gel as I find typical foam is lighter, soft and more responsive while running. But thats just me! I have heard they do fit quite narrow though so if it is something you're looking at, definitely worth trying on or having a good return policy with!

Thank you!!

Thanks Thomas! I missed making vids too it's just been a whirlwind month but getting everything going again, legs feeling better! I appreciate that big time! I feel like sub 2:50 is absolutely in the cards this year and I'm going to keep trying!

Thanks Steven! I know.... The metaspeed sky + is absolutely class but every time whether it's my training block , race sims or anything i tend to always reach for Adidas first. If not, it's typically to put miles in for a different review. Prime x strung is far and away the most fun I ve had running in a able, the adios pro 3 is going to be my next marathon racer as it's feeling isn't far off and it's race legal. For me the metaspeed sky + unfortunately keeps moving down the list a bit and for no other reason than Adidas seems to work very well for me this year!

@@yani.leigh. I gotcha man, I have heard they are great shoes but feel aggressive under foot, The pros at least. I have also heard the endorphin pro 3 are amazing as well. I just do not know who is going to take my money lol!!!

Haha what a great problem to have! I actually find the Adidas pro 3 s softer than the endorphin 3. The upper on the Saucony is more accommodating though and it's a touch lighter. Adidas upper (apart from the strung) needs to be dialed in more , but once you get it, it's perfect. What are you doing your speed work in right now ?

@@yani.leigh. Currently in endorpin speed 2's and when its a brick or tougher day I use vaporflys. But I try to stay away from carbon unless I absolutely have to use it

Thanks Braden! How was the marathon for you?

It's a fantastic shoe for a half , I ve taken it over that distance many times and loved it. It's definitely going to be lighter and have a faster feel than the ghost. Once broken in , I find the foam more comfortable than the ghost as well. It's also probably the only Adidas I would recommend for anything triathlon as it's by far the easiest upper to put on. If you're not to concerned about putting your shoes on as fast as possible in a tri , the Adidas takumi sen is an unbelievable option as well

I would say absolutely . It depends on what you're looking for . This one will feel more firm out of the box and I would not consider it "soft" at any point, but it limits impact quite nicely.
