Nike Alphafly ZoomX Next% vs Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 at the Running Track Test and Review

After watching a lot of reviews about the Alphafly, I've decided to purchase them because of a bargain on Ebay. Well, I must admit these shoes are very different from all the other carbon plated ones I've tested, so far. To be honest with you, I was expecting a lot of discomfort (just by the way these shoes are designed), instead they are more comfortable than the Vaporfly. Anyway, wearing the Alphafly I've covered 5km (5x1K) in 19m:09s, which is exactly the same time recorded wearing the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3. Concidences? I don't think so.

Was speaking about new marathon shoes, thought the Endorphin pro 2 might be the choice! Now seeing this video and thinking about Vaporfly 4%, I might have a hunt around for alphafly 👍

Pro 2 are comfortable, durable (580km so far), decently fast and relatively cheap. In my humble opinion, one of the best shoes for racing ever made. The Vaporfly gave me blisters after a 10K! Soon, I'm going to run an half marathon wearing the slightly modified (please watch my video) Pro 3. Regarding the Alphafly, please check my last post. After testing them (bought used), I broke the midsole... after (allegedly) 53 miles!!! #junkafly

@@gpersonaltrainer Broke! Will do. Sole of Alpha and Vapor look similarly narrow to me, but yes flyknit is very comfortable/soft. Oh I said Pro 2, should have been 3! Although, I do own Pro 2, and really like them, my inclination was a bit more cushion might benefit me. Thanks for your suggestion!

@@jamesbenjamins Well, if you are looking for more cushioning, after a couple of mods (please watch my video), I can also tell you the Pro 3 are the perfect successor of the Pro 2.
