Nike Alphafly 3 is a plated super shoe built for serious racing, especially marathons and other fast efforts. The ZoomX feel and aggressive design are described as a cheat code on race day, with strong performance and a premium, flagship feel. Comfort is mixed in daily use, though, because the fit can be awkward to put on and uncomfortable for normal activity. The shoes also seem best for runners who already know they want this kind of race-day advantage, since the benefit is limited for slower paces and the outsole is said to wear out after about 100 miles.

Common Questions (3)

  • For 5K racing, the Vaporfly is the better choice and the Alphafly 3 can feel slower. These are built as super shoes for marathon-style performance, not as the best option for short races.

  • They can feel comfortable once on, but getting your feet into the shoe is reportedly a pain and awkward for normal activity. The fit is part of why they feel more like a race-only super shoe than an everyday trainer.

  • They are reportedly only good for about 100 miles of running. That short lifespan makes them a poor value for everyday use unless you are saving them for key races.

It is a good price. I bought it few months ago and returned it. It is comfortable, but putting your feet into the sneaker is a pain. Good luck with that!!

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

A friend of mine went to the doctor that was wearing a pair of alphaflys at his job lol. I was like man the dude just went to the store and sorted by most expensive and figured well those must be the most comfortable cause they are $300.

On topic though shoes like these won't take you from being not a runner to being a marathoner but they are legit. First time I wore supershoes during a marathon it felt like I had unlocked a cheat code. But I would say if you are running a marathoner slower than like 4 hours at most I'd suggest something that is going to protect your feet a little better like asics megablasts or something similar with more cushion.

I've recently switched from Nike to Hoka running shoes and dont think the Nikes are worth the cost anymore even with these huge discounts.

These have been out for 2.5 years. If you have been unaware about them and don't see their appeal, then it probably won't fit your needs.

Forreal I don't get it, as much as i love running in them I can't wait to take them off with how awkward feeling they are for normal activity.

At first I loved the cheat code but then felt like I wasn't getting as good a workout, or not developing areas I need to. Sometimes I do use supershoes for recovery since they feel easier, but daily I agree something like megablasts or some of the non-plated adizeros.

Nike ZoomX foam and Adidas Lightstrike Pro is way better than Hoka. Hoka's are good, but kinda heavier and loses it's bounce way faster than the other two.

Hoka is for girls IMHO
So, men's Hokas are for girls? That's crazy, you should message them.
