If Zoom Tempo’s work well for you, does that mean the Alphafly will work well for you too?

I recently got some Zoom Tempos (on sale) and they work ridiculously well for me. They increase my pace for every distance so effortlessly. My times, currently, are faster in them than doing the same workouts in my vaporflys. I am likely more fit now, but could the Tempo just be better shoe for me?

Bigger question for me, how similar are the Zoom Tempos to the Aplhafly? I’m wondering if maybe, for my stride/foot strike etc. that the Alphafly could be an even better shoe for me (than the Tempo or Vaporfly)?

I’ve always read the Vaporfly is a faster shoe, but has anyone else found they run faster in the Alphafly (or Zoom Tempo)?

re: Zoom Tempo

Allie-O just won a road 5k in Alphaflys and in an earlier workout said she ran her fastest 300m repeats ever in them. I was pretty surprised as I didn't think anyone would actually run on a track in the Alphafly. I can't answer how the tempo directly compares, but it does seem that some people could run faster in the Alphaflys over the Vaporflys.

In general, you do need to pick the shoe that works for you. One size does not fit all.
