- Who is the Bushido 3 for?
- Experienced trail runners and fast hikers who want precision and ground feel on technical terrain. It is less suited to beginners or runners who want plush cushioning.
- How does it compare with the Bushido II?
- It keeps the same low-profile, technical character and firm ride, with an updated upper and the Racing Lite Ergo last. Runners who liked the earlier shoe's grip and fit will feel at home.
- Is the fit true to size?
- The performance fit is close and narrow, so runners with wide feet may want to size up or try it on. The 6mm drop and snug last are designed for a locked-in feel.
- Can I use it on roads?
- It works for short stretches, but the firm cushioning and aggressive trail design make paved miles uncomfortable. It is built for trails, not road running.
- What drop and weight does it have?
- It has a 6mm drop and weighs about 300 g in half sizes. Cushioning is rated 35A, which is firm.
- Does it have a rock plate?
- The Bushido line is known for underfoot protection on rough ground, and the firm midsole helps shield the foot. Treat it as a technical trail shoe rather than a soft cruiser.
