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!!

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.
