Extremely Comfortable, but Disappointed
3 months ago
I purchased the alphaflys after I had a manufacturing issue with a previous Nike shoe. I only run 2 miles a day on paved road and in good weather. My original Nike shoes lasted me years, and unfortunately these only lasted a few months. The sole degraded extremely quick to the point of which the foam was exposed and the material become delaminated from the shoe. They are extremely comfortable and help with your running form simple by design. I absolutely love the shoe, it just didn’t last very long. I’ll attach pictures so those can refer to my comments. I’m a huge Nike fan, and was simply disappointed they only lasted 4 months.

Great Race shoe but not Perfect
2 months ago
Not perfect but the best racing supershoe that I’ve used among VF2, VF3,adizero adios, AF3. Just received VF4s but yet to run in them. My first run in these AF3s was a shakeout before a half marathon. Was concerned as the shoes squeaked for about 2.5 miles but that finally subsided. Have run 2 half marathons in these- each time was PR by 4 minutes. Best thing for me is the low volume toe box. I have narrow, low volume feet. The VF3s are way too baggy in the toe box for me. These shoes do “hoof clop” loudly like the old tempo next % trainers. Ppl always turning their head as I come up on them🤣

Best shoes in the business! Go half a size up though.
9 months ago
The shoes are exactly what a person needs to perform their upcoming marathon. The Nike Alphafly 3’s are extremely responsive and have the best energy return out of every stride compared to the competition. I would recommend to people making this investment to go a half size up. I am a true size 10 in Nike shoes (I generally run in the Nike Pegasus Line for reference), but the Alphafly’s in the Pink/Purple color-way at least do run smaller compared to most Nike models. I have tried on a pair of size 10.5 Alphafly and they fit more like a true to size 10 Nike running shoe. Overall, these are awesome shoes and are the best marathon shoes on market!

Much better with diagonal tie and second go.
1 year ago
First run was a disaster. My big toe hit the end of the shoes the whole run and I kept getting shooting pains in my feet throughout the run. Went home and boxed them up to ship back. Watched a podcast that said it took a couple runs to break in and looked on YouTube for different tying methods and decided to give them another try. Much, much better. Going to run my first half marathon in them this weekend as opposed to my Vaporfly 3 (which I absolutely love) because I think they’ll be better at the end when I’ll be dead tired. Not a big fan of the color, but it’s growing on me. Still pretty pricey though, not a star off for the price and first run.

Excellent for Racing
1 year ago
Comparatively, the Alphafly 3 is 1) lighter 2) more stable (especially around curves) 3) easier on the knees 4) adaptable (one can walk in them) 5) durable (the tread appears to be tougher) Conversely, they operate very differently than the Alphafly 1 and 2, which are front dominant shoes that make one bounce like Tigger the Tiger from step to step. The Alphafly 3 exchanges the great bounce for stability, especially around corners (there's a world of difference). For racing, this exchange is highly advantageous. For an easy run, its a disadvantage (the shoes do all the hard work for Alphafly 1 and 2; the runner must do more work with Alphafly 3).

If you haven’t run in the alphafly 3 or vaporfly 3 and you’re over 50 you’re missing something

An amazing shoe! Love the vapor fly 3s but have a little bit more support and I’m coming back from a small injury and appreciating them. If you haven’t run in the alpha fly or a vapor fly three and you’re a If you haven’t run in the alpha fly or a vapor fly three and you’re an older runner. I’m in my mid 50s. You should pick up a pair. You’ll run faster and you’ll be less tweaking with the foam and they’re just plain fun.They’re beautiful they run true to size. The photo is from a Sprint session. I did recently in another pair of Nike track bikes.

Didn’t work out for me.
9 months ago
After months and months of trying to get my hands on a pair, I was finally able to. I had planned to use the AF3 for CIM this December. I took them out on a 24-mile run at about 9 min/mile so a little slow and steady. By mile 8 I felt the tight heel collar rubbing against my ankle bone, which ended up causing extreme discomfort for the rest of my run. Once I finished, my ankle was super sore and hurting. I used the AF1 for my first 4 marathons so I had really high hopes for these. Bummer they didn’t work out for me. I really wanted to love them.

Lovely... but they won't last long!
2 months ago
Love the look, the comfort and they run fantastically well. I have two pairs of which I have only worn one. The big issue is that they seem to remove more and more of the outer sole each edition. After only 30km they are already wearing away the outer sole by the heel and are eating away at the foam. For the price, the quality and lastability is very poor. I am going to sell my other pair before they get used as I know they won't last long. I hope that their next edition they address this, otherwise I will look elsewhere.

Dissapointed
9 months ago
I was initially excited about my new Nike shoes. They looked fantastic and felt great during my runs. The cushioning provided excellent support, and I loved the design. However, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment. After wearing them only four times and running less than 20 miles, I noticed that the glue on the back of the sole started coming off. This is incredibly frustrating, especially for a pair of shoes at this price point. Additionally, the toe box symmetry doesn’t match well, making the shoes look uneven and less appealing. I expected better craftsmanship from a brand like Nike. While they performed decently while running, I can’t overlook the quality issues I experienced so soon after purchase. I hope the company addresses these concerns because I genuinely wanted to love these shoes.

Incredible Marathon Shoe
5 months ago
Fantastic shoe for marathon racing. Love the sock like fit and breathability of the upper, it hugs your foot and it feels locked down without being to tight. The combination of the Zoom Pods, Zoom X foam and Carbon plate is perfect - the shoe is super light, very cushioning and incredibly responsive especially when you are going for it on race day at your marathon goal pace. It's so good that my feet felt super comfortable the entire 26.2 miles and I basically forgot I was wearing shoes at all. Probably overkill for training but on race day these are 100% worth every dollar spent on them. I had a 5 minute marathon PR in these shoes and no doubt in my mind they helped!
