BEST SHOES I'VE RUN IN - NIKE ZOOM FLY

Agree

'Training for a marathon at 45 miles per week' and 'won a 5km last week'

So many comments, giggles, laughs, sighs about these two statements I'm not sure where to start.

I love my Zoom fly's too. I reserve them for my long and tempo runs but I do run faster in them than my other Nike shoes (Pegasus 34, Vomero 12, Zoom Elite 9) with similar effort. Looking forward to see if the Zoom Vaporfly 4% shoes are even faster.

So says the doughy, out of shape has been that really actually never was. Want to refute that? Then post a link to your recent result and Facebook profile to corroborate.

Agreed. I put 150 miles on the zoom fly's, then got a pair of the 4% last week. Raced a 5k in them. They are of course 2 oz lighter, but so much faster than the flys it's almost silly. The only downside to them is that the last is a bit more curved, which for most won't matter, but if you pronate too much, that combined with how spongy soft the zoom x foam is, it might be a problem wearing them for really long races. Both shoes have changed everything for me, and can't see ever running in any other shoes ever again that doesn't have a plate like this. I train in the fly daily and will race up to half marathons in the 4% and probably use the fly for marathons.

Watching these shoes in action makes me worry that they cause excessive pronation, and may cause irreversible damage.

I haven't noticed any issues with pronation as of yet, and certainly it was a concern of mine too.

I have however noticed the outer sole picks up every little pebble imaginable.

The heel counter is stiff and takes some getting used to, but an excellent shoe.

I am wanting to try these shoes , but I am an underpronator and worry about how they will do for me ( if I order online ) .

The lack of shilling also makes me dubious about any claims about either of these shoes .

These shoes are neutral so they should work if you supinate/underpronate.

I supinate and have had no issues with them.
