Nike Alphafly 3

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.

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!

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.
