Has anyone had experience the Nike Zoom Fly and is it a shoe that can used as a every day trainer?

Sure, why not. Light, durable, plenty of cushion, and fast with the plate. I'm on my 5th pair of them used for training. They start feeling dead around 225 miles, so expect to change to a new pair around then. If you like them, you won't be able to run in anything else much since they just make you feel so damn efficient and easy to run in.

You and I have different definitions of “durable”. 225mi?
Thread hijack: how is married life? Any junior olympians on the way?
I like them as a trainer. I've put 300 miles into mine and they haven't started showing to much wear yet, even though I'm on the heavier side at 180lb. I mix up my use with the Pegs as well.
I’m running in 4 pairs of the standard vapor fly not the 4%
2 pairs are new and 2 pairs from last year.
I still like my old ones for the track, treadmill, hills.
I run 60-90 miles per week.
I bet my new ones have easily 100-200 miles on them and the others 400-500. Honestly the older ones are still great.
I mix in a few pairs of boosts for easy runs and lunar racers on the treadmill and track.
It is too inflexible and the back is too hard. Only for racing unless you want no achilles tendons.
In another thread, some people were complaining about PF from using the Vaporfly, and then someone here mentioning the AT. I don't have and am not interested in either shoe, but I'm curious if there is a link. Seems like the stiff plate would cause problems for some.
