Adidas - Terrex Agravic 3

mejo mabigat yan pero comfortable

I had the SG5, which seems to be very similar to the 6, and run in the Agravic 3 right now. For me they are very similar. Both do well on fire roads, single trails, more technical stuff, and both can take road segments too. Both very good grip. The Agravic fits me better for my wide feet. So I'd try on both and decide purely by comfort/fit, the rest is more or less the same (level of 'great').

Adidas Agravic 3's tend to go no sale quite often. That's a solid trail shoe. Brooks Divide is also a solid budget option - cheap to begin with and they also go on sale. Keep an eye out for Merrell sales too - Long Sky 2 Matryx is great, but the regular non-Matryx version is also good, and cheaper.

I bought the Agravic 3 to replace the SG5. Both are solid all rounders so I don’t think you can go far wrong with either. I felt that the Agravic 3 was more fun to run in, and the outsole is holding up better. It’s quite a firm shoe particularly on road. I expect this is the slightly more breathable shoe as it has a thin plastic upper and some padding around the heel, but neither are bad for breathability. The SG5 was softer (think 6 might be firmer). It is a very stable shoe due to how wide the sole is which is quite useful as a beginner shoe. The upper has more stretch to it, so might accommodate more foot shapes.

The adidas terrex agravic 3 might be a good option. Perfect for everyday trail running and offer grip. Perfect for a beginner. Some sizes and colour ways are as low as £60 at the minute. It's worth noting that a lot of adidas footwear run narrow and small and maybe worth sizing up.

I agree with this advice! The right shoe is most often the one that fits you the best. You ask more of your shoes on trail than on road so a good fit is important. By the looks of it, the Terrex has a slightly more accommodating fit, especially in the toebox. Speedgoats are great but tend to be very narrow and pointy in the toebox, but actually not crazy narrow on the rest of the shoe.

Agravic speed is an amazing shoe. Definitely recommend it over the ultra for technical trails as it’s more stable. Grip is fantastic and the upper drains water well. Really fun to run in. Also they have the best laces adidas has ever made. The Agravic 3 is another good option. Not as fast as the speed, but it’s a solid dependable trail shoe. I’ve done some technical 30k trails in them and no complaints or issues. Both shoes I’ve found to disappear on your feet and make the kms fly by.

I tried the SG on in a local REI and thought it was too narrow. Instead, I bought some Agravic 3s on deep sale on the Adidas app and have been really enjoying them. Outsole is grippy and doesn’t have any holes to collect dirt or rocks. Toe box is a roomy enough. Ran them on dry and wet park trails, roots/light rocks- Nothing crazy technical. I’m a true US9.5 but typically buy 10 in most brands of road shoes. Adidas doesn’t fit me great because of their typical narrowness but 9.5s typically fit me better in their road shoes. With the Agravics- 10 worked great.

I like to stick with one brand for a rotation. No logic, just a weird preference. Supernova Prima 2 for easy runs, Boston 13 for tempo and long runs at pace. Terrex Agravic 3 for trails, but I’ll branch out and look for another trail shoe closer to my 50k.

I have that pero GTX version. Medyo mabigat but once you start running you'll get the hang of it. Di sya masakit. I find it comfortable.

You could try the adidas Terrex Agravic, they’re adidas trail runners There’s also the adidas Free Hiker which are their premium hiking shoes/boots, they come in high and low top with boost midsole so they’ll be similar to their boost running shoes

Try Brooks, Hoka, Nike, Merrell, Altra, Asics, Salomon, New Balance. They have models at different price points. Pero okay din yang Terrex aggravic series ni Adidas as I'm seeing it on a lot of races even on ultras at maganda naman daw.

I picked up some barely used Terrex Agravics for under that budget and doing me great

Hoka challengers or adidas terrex for dry days, Salomon quest 4 gore tex for wet/muddy/snowy days

Adidas Terrex for dry days, North Face waterproof trail shoes rain/snow days

I use adidas terrex. Had them for 3 years and they’re holding up great

My Adidas Terrex served me pretty well given that I got them on a deep discount. Thinking about [Hoka Tor](https://www.hoka.com/en/us/all-gender-footwear/tor-summit/197634113876.html) for my next pair.

Adidas Terrex after years in Keens. They're lighter and I can usually find them for $60

Addidas Terrex all the way!

I’d say don’t fix whats not broken. I like the terrex personally. I’ve only tried some Pegasus trails besides the terrex but I ruined em pretty quickly. I tend to drag my back foot when I fore hand. I have a buddy who raves about the Saucony endorphins as well.

Got my terrex for $49 at sierra. Whitin for dry days, and a pair of xero boots that I waxed for ankle protection.

I traveled for a year and did many hikes around the world including the Andes. I had the Adidas Terrex Trail runners and they were the perfect shoe. On my bigger hikes in Patagonia and Colombia, I was able to rent boots where more heavy duty footwear was recommended. My terrex sufficed for other trails in the Andes, though. Renting gear is super common.

I got a pair of Adidas Terrex on sale 2 years ago and they have served me quite well.

Fellow Pennsylvanian here... and this struggle is real! I'm somewhat in the same boat as you as I've been trying to find shoes that are protective against the rocks and roots of our region while also being durable enough to get your money's worth out of the shoes. Here's my progression of footwear over the past 5-7 years or so along with some insights you can take as suggestions. None of these options are zero drop though except the Merrell trail gloves. Adidas Terrex - Pros: good coushion, plenty of padding and protection against rocks. Cons: not wide enough for my feet and they changed the cut of the heel stabilizer to be too high. Merrell Trail Glove - Pros: out of box comfort and very light. Cons: not at all good on rocks. Asics Gel Venture - Pros: out of box comfort and good tread. Cons: not durable, not wide enought, bad quality control. Merrell Moab Speed 1 - Pros: great durability of shoe body, available in wide sizes, and sufficient protection against rocks. Cons: tread is not durable. However, this is probably my favorite trail runner and I wish it was still in production. Its a 500 mile shoe with 300 mile tread. Brooks Cascadia 13 and 15 - Pros: quality tread and good rock protection. Cons - not as wide as I'd like in their 2E size and the heel lock fabric deteriorated quickly causing blisters on my heel. New Balance Hierro V7 - Pros: good coushion and heel support. Cons - that damn flappy thing on the heel, lack of padding in the tongue, durability. Brooks Cascadia 16 - Pros: great rock plate, awesome tread, and wider toebox in 2E size. Cons - shit quality. Regardless, I went through 3 pairs and just dropped the 3rd in the trash after hiking up Old Rag in Shennandoah a week ago. 500 mile tread on a 250 mile shoe body that is not worth the cost. Merrell Moab Speed 2 - Pros - lightweight and PA approved rock plate. Cons - durability and the redesign in general. Wore these on a 260 mile section hike and they messed up my feet and gave me blisters on top of my toes. Was fully refunded though. Merrell Nova 4 - arrives in the mail today in advance of a 120 mile AT section in central Va in a couple of weeks. Might move onto Topo Terraventures or Ultraventures next.

The Terrex are so bad and I am surprised people stick with them. They probably are better than others, but far far from great. Take a look at Merrell or Nike Pegasus. More expensive than Terrex, but you won't have a hole in the side mid season.

I’d ask the same question, and add that I want a show with good arch support. After years of using a combination of Terrexes and Merrell MOAB 3, my aches have become flatter 🙃 and I find that after a long round, my lower back starts getting tight..

Merrells. The Adidas Terrex wore out too fast.

For wet rocks, Continental rubber on Adidas Terrex shoes was quite nice when I had them few years ago (don’t remember the exact model though)

I wore my Terrex all over Japan, highly recommend.

I went to go outdoors last weekend and got some Adidas terrex out of the sale section for £45 and they had another pair I would have bought, if they were my size, for £24! So I’d definitely recommend going there just to try stuff on, check the sales section and check online for lower prices of the ones you do like.

Summertime, I like to wear my non-waterproof shoes so they are cooler and more breathable. Just got some Merrell MTL Long Sky 2’s and they’re decent for both traction and lightness. Got a pair of Adidas Terrex for the cold and wet courses. And Merrell Moab’s for dry cold places.

I’ve found the adidas Terrex a pretty good all rounder, would need to check the exact model though as they all sound the same.

Same issue: toe box too narrow; very stiff; does not cushion at all. Surprised!

I guess it depends. I live in the heavily wooded north. My home course is a ski resort in the winter. I need mid-to-high top trail shoes. As light as I can find while still being waterproof. Vans or running shoes won't do. I'm a Terrex fan myself. If you play on park courses more often, you can probably get away with something more basic. Go for comfort. But if you play out in the shit like me, pull the trigger on another pair of Terrex.

I have this, and it's amazing. I even use it for rucking.

Terrex trail runners. Only downside is that some of them aren't water proof.
