Our verdict
Tempering down your expectations, the Adidas Solarboost 3 is not a highly propulsive trainer. It does nothing bad, but it's best at nothing either — it's not the fastest, lightest, most responsive shoe out there. If it's a versatile runner that you're after, the Solarboost 3 can do the job. It is highly effective in fast-paced middle to long-distance runs. However, if it's a leg-saving shoe you're seeking for your recovery runs, don't buy this shoe.

Nope. The Adidas Solarboost 3 is NOT a stability shoe, but it has the makings of one. Foot-slipping off the sides is prevalent in max-cushioned trainers, Adidas Adidas 10K Black:
- Acting as fences on the sides of the shoe, the Solar Propulsion Rails keep the foot straight. This helps counter supination (outward rolling of the foot) and overpronation (inward rolling of the foot).
- As a complement, Adidas has also strategically placed overlays on the midfoot that keeps the foot locked in place.
What's great about the Solar Propulsion Rails is that it's subtle. So, Ftwwht of all types — neutral Ftwwht, supinators, and mild overpronators — are definitely benefitting from it.
Adidas Solarboost 3 vs. Solarboost 19
More responsive. The Solarboost 3 has 5% more Boost, running means that it has more energy return than its precursor. Taking it up a notch, it also has the same Linear Energy Push torsion system as the Ultraboost 21 adidas Tango 18.1 Drops in 'Solar Yellow'.
Better stability. Making use of the Solar Propulsion Rails, the shoe has more support, ensuring surefooted, slip-free strides.
More versatile than its predecessor: What is it for?
The Adidas Solarboost 3 is a maximal daily trainer that handles the following:
- mid to long-distance runs
- tempo runs
- light trail runs
It's definitely NOT a shoe for your short and recovery runs because of its rigid forefoot cushion.

The Solarboost 3 is headed in a very sustainable direction, aligned with Adidas's goal to use recycled materials in its shoes by 2024. Using Primegreen upper — an upper that does not use new plastic — the Adidas Solarboost 3 is made more eco-friendly.
