I just got my shoes, so far they are pretty comfortable. I normally wear a size 9, but I got a 9 1/2 just in case and I’m glad I did. The only issue I have is. They are very squeaky when I walk but hopefully that goes away overtime

Squeaky!
Mackenna354de272c4524238a82bdbed95db5370 - 18 Jul 2025
Parts of the soles are coming away!
ClaudineC3379a7a54c324de990218a871276d16e - 18 Jul 2025
These trainers are very comfortable to run in, and I like them, but they're falling apart. I purchased these shoes in April and part of the soles were coming away within two months. I run regularly, but I think they should be able to support regular runners. I had a pair of Saucony running shoes for years, and they had no issues. I tried to get trendy running shoes, and look what happened to me. 😣 😭
Light weight but flimsy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s really light but feels flimsy. Also my pair came lightly used. There were creases and debris on the sole.

Marathon speed to push beyond what you thought possible
Our lightest Alphafly yet features a ZoomX midsole to help cushion impact with the road and Air Zoom units to return your energy. A wider carbon-fibre Flyplate helps deliver a propulsive, stable ride, while the midsole and outsole are now fully connected for improved transitions.
Speed for all
We rigorously tested the Alphafly 3 in the Nike Sport Research Lab, gaining insights from the largest-ever women's testing pool for a Nike racing shoe. The feedback from both elite and everyday runners ultimately improved the comfort of the Alphafly for all marathoners, from a widened footbed and fully connected outsole that enables a better fit and natural heel-to-toe transitions to softer yarns in the upper for less rigidity and rubbing.
