ナイキ アルファフライ 3

I bought these at the start of the year explicitly for races. 7 wears in (approx. 115k) and the heal grips started to peel off and a crack appeared in the sole beneath the forefoot. Unsure as to whether this was a fault with this specific pair but very disappointing given the price point. I actually really love them and the ride is great but I wouldn't buy another pair purely for the way they've been manufactured. Nike were very helpful and provided a full refund. VF4 + Vomero + for the same price!

The Alphafly 3 is true to my pre-purchase research. Very light, comfortable and fast shoe. These are race day shoes, not everyday trainers (unless money is no issue for you). Prior to purchasing, I read that these shoes provide maximum benefit over 125-150 miles. I train in other, more stable, shoes and pull these out for a quick couple runs before wearing them in a marathon. First marathon was Erie and got my PR with a time to qualify for Boston and Chicago. My feet felt great after the race. I am a size 11.5, 58 years of age and 150 lbs. After years of thinking about it, I made the plunge and bought the Alphaflys. Glad I did. The reviews questioning these shoes is the result of people not doing the research and having expectations out of line with what the shoes offer.

Love the design and concept - poor structure - some falls apart easy just wearing them in the gym
