361°Flame 3

Verdict

The 361° Flame 3 is a solid performer — a lightweight trainer scoring 80/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 228g, it is notably lightweight for a lightweight trainer. The 30mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a comfortably cushioned ride at 27 HC, returning 68% of impact energy and feeling exceptionally bouncy underfoot. Geometrically, the Flame 3 runs on a mid 8mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 22mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 92mm — medium-width, comfortable for most foot shapes — and the upper comes in a standard width. Slightly narrow — regular-width feet are the target. Runs true to size. It is designed for speed sessions, 5k/10k racing, budget speedwork, lightweight fans, and performs less well for long runs or wide feet.
