These Nike shoes have been life changing. For many years I ran marathons on Ascics shoes until my Son suggested I try a pair of these Nike Air Zoom Alphafly’s. I have been diagnosed with severe hip arthritis and if it were not for these shoes, I would not be running. These are not just the world top marathon shoes, these are shoes that can make a life changing effect of allowing runners with sever arthritis to continue running. I am a life long convert and will always be a devoted user of these Nike shoes.

These are not just the best Marathon shoes, they are the best shoes for anyone fighting hip arthritis

Believe the hype!

Amazing shoe! Best 10k time in 2 years during my first 15k run in them. They are so bouncy and light! I sized up half a size from my normal running shoe size as they are quite snug. I would pick these to run in every time if I had the option!
Terrible quality

Bitterly disappointed with the quality of these shoes. For such a high price, you expect quality. Quality is not what I received here. After a mere 2 runs the sole has already begun to come away from the shoe all around the front, and the rubber on the tip of the shoe has completely worn off. Unfortunately I’m not surprised and won’t be shopping with Nike anymore in future.
