adidas  Terrex Agravic 3 Trail-Running Shoes - Men's

this is my second pair of these; the fit is perfect, great grip and there is a little more stability in this shoe than in my first pair.

I wore these shoes way past the expiration date. I have put over 525 miles on them - both road and trail. I've run super technical trails (see Mt Olympus and Mt Timpanogos in UT), dirt trails in the canyons of UT, and a lot of paved bike trails, etc. I may end up buying them again. When I first bought them, I had a few minor complaints. Adidas Terrex Agravic Light Strike mid-soles sort of bubble up often between miles 5 and 8. This shoe was no exception. In fact, the only ones that haven't ever done that to me were the original White and black adidas Terrex Speed Ultra Trail with a pink stripe on the inside. Those have been my favorite trail runners ever. If I could still find them in my size, I would buy them up immediately. Anyhow, back from daydreaming... . It seems to be if they reach a certain temperature, they start to get a little softer - causing the weight distribution placed on my feet to cause a minor but noticeable lump under my insole. I can usually step different for several steps to get it to go away. And sometimes it doesn't come back. It hasn't been a big enough issue to replace them or to slow down on a run though. I love the uppers - a lot. While they appear coarse on the exterior, they are smooth on the inside. It's actually made of three layers: a thin breathable smooth layer, a sort of plasticky skeleton, and then this course sturdy mesh on the outside all stuck together. This not only helps reduce the weight of the shoe compared to competitors, but it keeps my feet from heating up and getting blisters. In fact, I had no blisters on my last 28.5 miler in them at least 50% due to the uppers. I've had maybe two very minor blisters total in them over the life of the shoes from long-distances (8-18 miles normally) and maybe not great socks. 7.5 (my chosen size) is ever so slightly small. In other brands, I wear an 8. And prior to 2021 or so, I wore an 8 in Adidas trail runners. But, I've gotten used to the 7.5 and they don't usually cause much of an issue. 8in Adidas now fits me somewhere barely shy of an 8.5. So, I hope this style of upper will continue. See my photos of the wear on my shoes at 525 miles. They're stable enough that I don't feel like I'm balancing in them like I do in some super shoes. I like the tread on them. See my photos of the wear on mine after 525 miles. The laces lock really well and are a good length. They stay tied really well. The tongue is fine too. I've seen several reviews of people initially concerned about the lack of padding in the tongue. But, they all say the same thing: they were surprised to find it was comfortable and that they had no issues with it. I've run in the rain, snow, and sunshine with them. And they're decent in all of those scenarios. They have kept up with my training and didn't slow me down. I definitely noticed when all the squish and spring sort of wore out at around 375 miles. But I've been able to stretch out their use so that my next pair will last me through training for my next marathon in July. :) One last note: they've got sort of a high ceiling in the toe box even though they aren't wides. Adding my special aftermarket insoles fixed it completely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Getting a great lockdown was easy on the first try and the upper feels breathable and comfortable. Midsole has just the right amount of softness without losing the firmness needed for trails.

I have done 50k in these shoes to break them in. They are good trial shoes however there are 3 problems that Adidas should address for next version. 1. Shoe laces are hopeless, keep slipping. 2. Heel cup is far to generous with excess heel lift out of shoe during return stride. 3. the toe box is too narrow for ultra running as feet spread and swell through run causing some rubbing on outside ball of foot and possibly little toe for some people. I give this shoe a 6 out of 10. It is good value for money but not quiet there yet as a competitive ultra training shoe vs. latest Hoka 6, NNormal etc....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a very fast, lightweight sneaker. Performs well on technical terrain. Can be used as a hiking shoe or trail runner. Feel pretty confident in these. They offer just enough protection on the toe and underfoot. It’s a wildly different sneaker than the FreeHiker which is more of a traditional hiker/boot. The Agravic 3 is very fast.. it is not waterproof but it does dry extremely fast. Good traction on all terrain. Pretty comfortable as well. SkyChaser2.0 is still my favorite as it is more of a true hybrid while these lean toward runners, and also like the FreeHiker.. but this sneaker is FAST.. you can really fly in these while being able to trust they will perform for you and provide protection and I love them.

Best trail shoe ever. No idea why they changed the new model and made it double the price (almost). If I could and if I can find more, I would buy enough pairs to last me for the next few years

Very looking good shoes. Doesn’t matter where you are going to use it, always is confortable

Very poorly buil. Only been 20 days and already started to break (left shoe: near ankle

The grip is awesome on rock, roots and wet conditons. The shoe are excellent cushioning

Can't wait to run again with them, need to get my tempo work in
