PROS
Solid construction, built-in connectivity
CONS
Stiff midsole makes for a hard ride, heavy
VERDICT
While my 93kg frame appreciated the midsole’s ability to take the impact while running hard, the Machina 3’s austerity in regards to kick and bounce was less appealing and I realised that I need a more comfortable run. If you’ve struggled with running shoes with midsoles that were too soft/bouncy and you are now on the look-out for something firmer, well the Machina 3 is the shoe for you, plus it’s also easy to see these doing well in the gym too.
