Nike Zoom Fly 6 Review | I Was SHOCKED!

[@Davercrooks]

Ordered a pair finally. Really looking forward to giving them a go for faster efforts. Greetings from Western Canada.

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@Davercrooks nice - I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! I’ve now swapped out the laces and put Vaporfly laces in mine - huge improvement it’s now almost a perfect shoe I reckon!

[@TheSoupirail]

You might be really disappointed.. At least I was. Not sure why so many people like it.. It's really a boring shoe..

[@Davercrooks]

@ I guess we will find out soon.

[@TheSoupirail]

@@Davercrooks Yea. I guess it depends what you expect from it. Maybe for slow runs? For anything faster than 5:00/km it just feels and sounds like a brick

[@sibo3921]

The new Vaporfly 4 will be released in April. It looks very similar to the ZF6. Maybe that will be a good race day shoe for you Jimmy.

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@sibo3921 thanks, will check it out for sure 👍

[@offroadagain]

I can totally agree on your thoughts. It really is a fun shoe. Especially when picking up the pace the fun is on.

[@TomCantu-q2x]

Yeah the step in comfort is fantastic. I get along so well with the ZoomFly 6 that I bought 3 pairs. It’s a great trainer and matches well with the Alphafly.

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@TomCantu-q2x nice! Hopefully I can work my way up to 3 pairs - love it!

[@yalokim5264]

You are the one that have some $$ left after Christmas 😅

[@CJSpencer-un8ir]

Ran 3 miles with it tonight and 1 mile in the Hoka Clifton. Hoka road shoe won't touch my foot again after tonight. The Zoom Fly just fits me and I love it! As for the traction it was noticeably better than the Clifton. I live in Montana and it's winter here so I got to test both tonight with snow and ice

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@CJSpencer-un8ir glad you got on well with it too, and good to know traction is good in the wet too 👍

[@CJSpencer-un8ir]

@ just knocked out 8.5 miles today on it. Major major upgrade!

[@metalsadman]

Surprisingly my wide foot fits nike's plated lineup nicely against any other brands I tried. I have 2 of these zf6s, 1 vf3 and 2 alphafly3s all fits perfect for my wide foot. This zf6 is shoe of the year for me, it's so versatile and also love puma deviate nitro 2s i have 3 pairs these are the only shoes I keep now and do all of my runs, vf3 and af3 for races.

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@metalsadman 100% agree. I’m actually scouring the internet now for the best deal as I’ve decided to buy a second pair :-) Even if I can’t find a deal, Nike still smashed it out the park with the price-point of this. I reckon even at full price of $260AUD it’s still a bargain. Rare that a manufacturer produces a shoe which is the best in market (IMO) on pretty much every front in its category.

[@DrBulbulia]

Agree, nothing like it. Huge improvement. I love mine. It flies at every pace.

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@DrBulbulia Yep, it’s a winner. This is the only pair of ZF I’ve tried though - I actually didn’t even know the shoe existed prior to version 6 being released!

[@ACs946]

I love mine in the EK colourway (Chch, NZ). I've 75km on them with 400m intervals, 5k threshold and 30km long run- all hella enjoyable. Thinking of picking up a second pair- but only if I can get the EK colour again- yes, the others are a bit meh

[@fearnobodyandtrustnoone]

I agree with you on the Vaporfly 3; it's a 'hit and miss' for me, although I quite liked the previous (Vaporfly 2) I had. However, I haven't tried the new Alphafly 3, so I can't say anything about it, but I don't think I'll get it because I don't like the new design.

[@jvaldez7969]

No shoe can be louder than the Nike next% tempo

[@Danny-ti8qs]

This is my first carbon fiber plated shoe. Any tips for dealing with pain on the bottom of my foot? After mile three is sorta feels like it’s burning.

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@Danny-ti8qs I’m certainly no expert- I’d recommend seeing a sports podiatrist if possible. Bottom of foot sounds like plantar fascia though - I’d be looking into strengthening foot, ankle, calves and hips. I use an app called Movement Vault - they’ve got a programme specifically for plantar fasciitis. I’d highly recommend that. All the best, and definitely see a professional to get a proper diagnosis if the pain persists. Highly unlikely it’s due to the shoes in my opinion - I’d try the plantar fascia program on Movement Vault first and if that doesn’t work, see a sports podiatrist 👍

[@Danny-ti8qs]

@ thank you Jimmy, I’ll definitely go check it out. Much appreciated! Happy running

[@mo_sabi]

I got the flames and the ek version and they feel like two different shoes

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@mo_sabi weird - in what way are they different?

[@jutsni1030]

Can you race in the zoom fly 6 for a full marathon? I currently race in the Superblast 1 & 2, Magic Speed 4, Endorphin Speed 4....since my major considerations are budget and comfort for longer mileages. Great review!

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@jutsni1030 yes you could certainly race in these - I meant to make that point in the video but forgot!

[@jutsni1030]

@jimmyrunsoz great! Thanks!

[@TheSoupirail]

If you're a heel striker: Maybe. But if you're a forefoot striker, you might be very disappointed.. These are really not fast shoes..

[@jutsni1030]

@@TheSoupirail i think this was also the point of Yowana on his zoom fly 6 review vs Asics magic speed 4, thanks

[@stevros48]

Thanks for the review , just wondering fit wise how was this compared to the Alphafly 3 and why did you not like that shoe ? I was going to get a pair of these to train with my aplhafly 3s

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@stevros48 The fit is perfect for me, as was the fit of the Alphafly 3. Watch this video for more details as to why I returned the AF3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIaQh6mmjMh6m6c But in short - despite feeling amazing when I first put them on, I found them a little uncomfortable after a while. They also didn’t appear to give me much assistance with speed/efficiency. It’s a great shoe, but just didn’t work for my running style at the time. I bought them to be a race shoe and as I had better options (for me and my running mechanics) I returned them because it’s a butt-load of money to spend on something that didn’t do what you were hoping for. Ironically, literally a couple of hours ago I bought another pair of the AF3’s as they were heavily reduced in Boxing Day sales! I’m looking forward to testing them more thoroughly and even if I still don’t get on very well with them, they’re priced right to make a great training shoe so I figure it’s a win-win :-)

[@fuguffuu]

Sorry if i missed it during the video, but fit question: Is it pretty TTS?

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@fuguffuu for me, yes. My regular size fits like a glove 👍

[@robbristle5642]

How many oz?

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@robbristle5642 I got them for $206 in Black Friday sales from Rebel, but the sales are done now. Back to regular price of $260 - well worth it in my opinion…

[@mickpedder5990]

Shoutout to the Senny MD421

[@jimmyrunsoz]

@@mickpedder5990 Haha very well spotted! I used to run a recording studio so am still fairly well stocked in the mic department:-)

[@ccuellar6212]

Highly engineered shoes have ruined the art of running. All you need are some Luna sandals.

[@DonPrecedens]

I have fly 4 and it's the best running/walking shoe I ever owned. I ran 7 marathons.

[@acoitheadventurer1001]

That is Zoomfly for women.. 😂😂😂
