These are my go-to race/road shoe. I’ve tried a bunch of different shoes with a carbon plate and find these the lightest and most comfortable. Nice room in toe box.

Fine-tuned for marathon speed, the Alphafly 3 helps push you beyond what you thought possible. Three innovative technologies power your run: a double dose of Air Zoom units helps launch you into your next step; a full-length carbon-fibre plate helps propel you forwards with ease; and a heel-to-toe ZoomX foam midsole helps keep you fresh from start to 26.2. Time to leave your old personal records in the dust.

The ultimate race/road shoe

Game changer.
MichelleE936386640 - 29 Jun 2025
I am loving these shoes. I’m training for my first half marathon and these are a game changer! I saw a recommendation to order a half size up so I did and would recommend it!
Very poor quality, but they are comfortable and supportive
Jr's Shorty - 11 Jun 2025
Do not purchase, the quality is very poor. I received and tested them on my block. Although they are very comfortable and look reach nice the back flap came apart. Also the sides were worn in just wearing them for that block. For the price, these are not worth it at all unfortunately. I really looked forward to these because they feel so good, but they won't last.
