FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday training?

While the cushioning is excellent, these shoes are optimized for racing. For daily mileage, consider a dedicated daily trainer to preserve the performance features of the Alphafly NEXT% 2 and prolong their lifespan.

What is the 'Prototype' designation?

The 'Prototype' designation often indicates an early or advanced version of a design, focusing on cutting-edge technology and materials.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The fit should be snug but not constrictive. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. It's highly recommended to try them on, ideally at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.

What is the main difference between Alphafly NEXT% and Alphafly NEXT% 2?

The Alphafly NEXT% 2 features updates to the cushioning and upper design, offering a slightly wider base for improved stability and a redesigned AtomKnit 2.0 upper for enhanced comfort and breathability.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The outsole provides grip, but the shoe is primarily designed for dry road racing. Wet conditions can reduce traction, and excessive water may impact the materials and cushioning over time.

What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?

As a high-performance racing shoe, the lifespan is generally shorter than that of a daily trainer. Mileage varies greatly depending on usage, but many runners reserve them for key races and speed workouts.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff on first wear

This is common with performance racers. Wear them for short runs or tempo efforts to break them in gradually before a race.

Laces come undone during a run

Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a more robust, non-slip variety if this persists.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Cushioning and responsiveness can decrease with extensive use. Professional racing shoes are optimized for peak performance over a limited mileage; consider their intended lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear racing shoes. Ensure a proper fit by trying them on before your race. The lacing system can be adjusted for a secure feel.
