Bridge the gap between your weekend training and race day. The Nike Zoom Fly 5 can be deployed not just at the starting line of your favourite race, but in the days and months after your conquest. It offers comfort and reliability with a propulsive sensation that can help you feel fast and fresh. That kind of versatility is uncommon in the running arena. But who says you can't have it all?

(Runner Type: 4-6 mile runs at a 6:30- 6:45 pace age 27) So far I logged about 20 miles in the shoe. They look great and have good support on the heel to help absorb impact and save your knees. The shoe is not aggressive or as responsive as the Vapor Fly next gen% (my favorite), but for the price point it's a good bang for your buck. I recommend them for long distance runs with a medium tempo pace. Now as much as I want to love the Zoom Fly 5s there are some cons which is making me have to exchange/replace them. The left shoe makes a weird suction and popping noise? I believe it is the zoom bubble in the insole, I've popped that before in my old ZoomX. Under the shoe foot sole is some type of foamy recycled material that started to come out and create weird lumps and gaps. This made my left foot very uncomfortable especially when you are trying to hit a good pace. I won't knock Nike down though, I'll just contact customer service they always help me even with warranty. - Rick C. (The 805 Runner)

An elite running shoe which will definitely improve performance and timings. These shoes will improve your running technique but be weary of sizing and the need to break them in before getting best results.

I can’t believe some of the reviews. I had a couple pairs of the fly 3 version. At least three pairs of fly 4. The Fly was my favorite shoe, I still run sometimes on a pair of fly 4. The fly 5s feel chunkier, less responsive and less agile, the sucking to the floor is soooo annoying! Tried it for a month and parked them. No fun at all. Moved to the vaporfly 3 (amazing shoes) for faster runs and streakfly (better than fly 5 for sure) for shorter and slower sessions.
