Nike Zoom Fly 6: Speed Tested! As good as the Vaporfly?

[@TheFODRunner]

Brilliant mate, good to see a proper test! And love your honesty about Nike!

[@robin29991]

Thanks! There's always a little bias there I think. It's not just the shoes but also the brand image and the designs play a part for me.

[@jonasdebroux144]

Thank you for the review! I am running in the same valley in Luxembourg, which running watch are you using? My old Garmin and new Wahoo watches seem to have issues correctly tracking my runs in the valley. Thanks!

[@robin29991]

The Alzette Cycling Trail is just the best:) I use a Garmin Forerunner 255. This model introduced the Multiband GPS and that's been a real Gamechanger for me in GPS accuracy.

Loving your channel. Ive done one run in my ZF6s and looking forward to a long run this weekend. I wouldnt call myself a Nike fanboy but they have usually worked pretty well for me. Knowing you are the same way means I can trust your reviews for myself a bit more than a reviewer who generally doesnt like them.

[@robin29991]

Thanks, glad you like these videos! I've already done a Longrun in mine but was 'only' 80 minutes. It's interesting with many Shoetubers, they seem to hate Nike and especially the Pegasus. Is it because Nike doesn't often send their shoes out? Don't know but most of them do work well for me and I like the designs more than most other brands.

Due to injury, I won't be able to run for 10 more weeks. The Zoom Fly is on my list of shoes to try when I return.

[@robin29991]

@@thewalls7770 Oh dear, what happened there? That's a very long time off running.😔

Great review 🎉

[@robin29991]

Thanks! Just giving some quick additional thoughts on this. Certainly did well here.

[@aero4karts]

Where do you get that nike headband from

[@robin29991]

That's not Nike, it's Kalenji, so Decathlon's in-house brand. Think I picked it up there a few years ago, had it for ages now.

I am an admitted Adidas Fanboy.. But in Canada, it's not easy to find Adidas shoes. You have to check their website daily and buy when in stock not when you need a pair. And their stores never stock running shoes, only lifestyle. Whereas with Nike, they almost always have stock and their stores carry every running shoe.

[@robin29991]

I like most of their designs but performance wise, Adidas is a bit hit and miss for me. The Boston 10 was probably one of my worst shoes ever and the 12 only marginally better. Loved the Takumi Sen 8 and the Adios Pro Evo 1. Also really like the Agravic Speed Ultra Trail shoe. The Adios Pro 3 meanwhile was just okay...

[@TimGrose]

Just done my first run in them and really impressed. I wonder if the plate in my UK 13 is thicker/stiffer as it felt very stiff and I can’t bend mine like you can or at least did not try too hard. Generally we must like similar shoes as I don’t think much of the AF3 & probably prefer the VF1 & 2 over the VF3 although that they all have served me well in races.

[@robin29991]

It might be the UK 13 or maybe because I have the women's version? Maybe they tuned it a bit differently there. But glad to hear you enjoy them as well. As a 'Training' Shoe it's not quite as fast as the Racers I find, but much more versatile and much more supportive. It's just easy to fit this one in as it can do almost everything.

[@TimGrose]

@@robin29991 According to "Sauce for Strava" I managed a 90 day best at 2K, 3K, 2 Miles and 5K! That the speeds were slower than my 2:59 marathon last year shows not been "trying" for months :) Sadly not by design. Was actually a good really to feel was running "almost" properly. Will have to see next time if wasn't just a news shoe day bump.

[@TimGrose]

@@robin29991 on plate stiffness I did read in the past that my "boat feet" ones are stiffer as largely they have to be as otherwise either might just snap or have relatively less effect. I didn't try and bend the shoe too agressively but certainly did not seem anything like a Peg Plus which can pretty much fold back on itself. Have to admit after this one run, I am liking the ZF6 more than the Peg Plus but the ZF6 does seems a better "fit" for me.

[@io-rj6sk]

what type of cross training? since i assume nike is ur fav brand for running shoes, what bout the other brands that seem to work for u? i havent seen u run in any asics yet and they seem to b the most popular running brand atm

[@robin29991]

Mostly just Elliptical and a little Aquajogging. A bit boring but seems to work to keep a little base fitness there. I've never been too interested in Asics models tbh. I do have the Metaspeed Sky+ though and love that one! Also the Cumulus 25 worked really well for me. Was thinking about possibly getting the Novablast 5 but not super excited about it, have to say.

[@io-rj6sk]

@@robin29991 haha didnt even kno aquajogging was a thing! cycling/swimming also coulda done the job rite ? why doesnt asics interest u? the nb5 is my next shoe im gonna get so im pretty keen, hope they dont let me down as ive never ran in a novablast yet

[@robin29991]

Swimming could be an alternative sport for me but I'm so bad at it, it's pretty much pointless:) I don't know, just the Asics Designs never really appeal to me that much...

[@io-rj6sk]

@@robin29991 wen u say the designs aren't appealing r u talking purely about the aesthetics? or also the geometry of the shoe?

[@robin29991]

Yeah, just the aesthetics really...🫣

PS well done on 300 subs. That was quick jump from 200. I see you are getting a lot more views on recent videos than subs which I always look at a mark of relative success. I never think KZbin really is that bothered if you subscribe or not as once viewed a few videos from a channel, they seem to appear as often in my feed as ones from channels I have subscribed to and certainly more often than channels I subbed to but for whatever reason have not been tuning into them of late.

[@robin29991]

Thanks! These recent videos did bring in quite a lot of new subs. I do find subscribers a really important metric for me. I interpret it as a sign that someone likes my videos enough to want them in their feed regularly and not want to miss new ones.

[@braderanjung5785]

Are you in UK?

[@robin29991]

No, in Germany at the border to Luxembourg. So you'll see a lot of videos in both countries. What made you think UK?
