Hey Megan and Thomas thanks to your reviews on the AF 1 and AF 2 for the last 3 yrs , I have 13 boxes of the AF 1thanks again . Been running since 1984 and paid $62 for Nike Air Max , love my AF 1 daily running shoe for sprint triathlons and 5ks . No need for the AF3 , AF1 serves my needs , daily . UPDATE9/19/24 Doing Duathlons and AF3 coming in , again , will only use AF3 for my races, AF1 training . I always tell people to check your site before u buy a shoe .

Nice Review I think the only shoe that is as good as the Alphafly v1 is the Saucony Elite. However, the wider fit fits me much better in the Elite. However, the Alphafly 3 will be interesting again for me when the "Arch" is no longer there. How do you find the Elite in comparison? I love the aggressiveness of these shoes but I can understand if that's too much for some.

I never had AF1. I am running 5K mostly. AF2 is ungodly uncomfortable, i have to use k-tape in few spots. It takes me 5 minutes to get my feet prep and in. It is a very stable shoe and it is a very fast shoes, very good for street but I also like it for wide trails (some gravel). AF3 is WAY more comfortable, no doubt but it feels less bouncy, feels very flat. For me under the same environment, 5k is 25 seconds slower and it takes more effort about 5bpm higher. It almost feels like it AF3 might be better at faster pace I am running at 7-7.5 miles per hour. Just my two cents.

Do you happen to have any knowledge if they will be bringing that shoe back to couple with this one as a trainer? I saw they briefly brought the men’s version back with the pink colorway but I have not seen anything else - neither women’s nor any restocking of the men’s Tempo.

Regards, I really love the af1 I have to say that I was desperate looking for a running shoe that provide the confort that my foot demands, before the af1 I had a plantar fasciitis fo approximately a year, and I have to say that the af1 helped to leave that chapter of my life behind , another impressive review about af1 is the incredible confort in every step , one thing that impressed me was that a difference of other running shoes is the fact that I don’t have to change the original insoles , thing that with always happened with other brands, another attribute is cero blisters, problem solved, I’m a triathlete and in the transition from the bike to pedestrian I feel more stronger than any other shoe in all my history as triathlete I’m asking me if the alpha fly 3 overcome the alpha fly 1 ? Remember comfort is all for me , thanks Nike

50k steps in a marathon seems too high. That equates to a stride length of 0.84 meters. I suspect a better average is 1 meter, which equates to roughly 42k strides for a full marathon. Another way to think about it is by time and cadence. Assume average marathon is about 4 hours and person has cadence of 170. That’s 41k strides in a marathon. Sorry for the nerdiness 😂
