His Very 1st Pair

I ordered these for my husband. So far, he likes them. These are his very first pair of carbon plate sneakers. I ordered a pair 1st, loved them, and then ordered his. He's worried they won't last the full 300 miles, but we'll see in a couple months. We both feel that our feet and lower legs do less work in these. So to keep balanced, our goal is to switch carbon and minimalist sneakers every other run. The tote bag we both received in our shoe boxes was a nice treat, but may I suggest a shoe horn instead? These sneakers are tough to get into. We both have to use a shoe horn to get feet inside. Also, they're loud. We go clop, swish, clop, swish....We sound like a horse and buggy. Although, it's a rhythmic sound so it kind of keeps us calm. One more thing, he always wears size 10 1/2 in shoes, but deliberately goes up a half size in sneakers to prevent black toe nails.

High Price For Low Quality

I purchased this shoe, wore it one time. The sole on the right shoe began to detach itself from the upper part of the shoe. I then exchanged it for a new pair. The same thing happened after the first wear but this time, to the left shoe. From walking only. I never even had the opportunity to run in these shoes. I never write reviews but had to warn buyers. I would not recommend this shoe.

Great Race Shoes From Nike

These shoes are great for half and full marathons. These are race shoes and one of the best. I have gotten many half and full marathon PRs with these shoes. They have a nice trampoline effect when you run. Unfortunately, they are not that durable so save them for your races.

Bought this as a gift for my husband and he really loved it! This is his first race day shoe! Fits perfectly! We upsized though!

Best Racing Shoes

These shoes are perfect for running! Very light and have wonderful cushion for running. I ran my 5K race and PR in these shoes. As they provide an awesome feel!

Sizing

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The sizing with the shoes appears to be an issue so I’m having to return them.

Flying

This is the best running shoes I had. They are very comfortable, lightweight…. I feel flying over the ground when I run with these shoes. They run small. I usually wear a half size up rather than my real size with Nike so I purchased a half size lager ones but they are very tight. So you need to buy at lease 1 size up.

Second Pair Failed Also At Only 130 Miles

This is the second pair of Alphafly 3 that has lasted me only 130 miles. The outsole separated at the heel, which is unacceptable for a shoe at this price point. I expected premium durability, but unfortunately, that has not been my experience.

Extremely Low Quality Shoes

Extremely low quality materials. This is my third pair and they fell apart after the first 15 minute run on a treadmill. The first two pairs had a hole in the toe are but that was after the first 6 months of active training and I thought that's my toe nails. The last pair also makes squeaky sounds so loud, you can hear it across the room.I spent almost 1000 bucks on these pairs and I'm done

Fast Shoes For Road Terrain Only Not Gravel Because Rocks Can Get Stuck In The Fly Plate.

Fast, light, comfortable & responsive but best for road only, not trail with gravel because rocks will get stuck in the fly plate on the bottom of the shoes. I ran a 1/2 marathon last weekend. I won my age group but Lost time because the route included a gravel trail section and a rock got wedged into the fly plate on the bottom of one shoe. I kept running with the rock in my shoe hoping it would come out but after a few kms I HAD to Pull over hold onto a tree lift up & turn my foot over, use all my finger & hand strength to get the rock out. After that I went back to a 7:30 minute/mile pace catching up for lost time. I will not wear these shoes again on gravel or trail. Fast shoes, comfortable & light, I love them.

Fast

Fastest racing shoe I’ve used. The help it gives with your leg turnover feels like I’m cheating

Phenomenal Running Shoe

Ive owned every single pair of alphafly running shoes and there really is not a better option in my opinion for long distance running. These shoes have features that other shoes don't have and the performance they give.

Beautiful Light Shoe

They are for starters beautttttiful!!!! They are light and very comfortable.

Great Shoes, But Annoying Squeak!

I really like these. Comfy, bouncy, sturdy. Look great too and very breathable (not good for very wet days!) Slightly small, so go up half a size. The squeaking was horrendous though. Thankfully, after researching, others recommended putting a little WD40 on and round the edges of the air pods, and it really helps. Shouldn’t have to resort to that though, especially at this price level.

Beautiful Made Shoe!

Beautifully made shoe. I’m loyal to Nike because they truly know how to make a shoe efficient, fast and so cool looking! I highly recommend this product!
