FAQs
Should I order my usual size?
The Nike Alphafly 3 runs small; it is highly recommended to order half a size larger than your typical running shoe size.
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
No, these are racing trainers optimized for hard, paved road surfaces.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 218 grams in a size EU 44.
Can I use these for daily training?
While durable for racing, the specialized construction is best saved for high-intensity workouts and race days to prolong the life of the cushioning.
How do I clean the Atomknit upper?
Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild detergent, then let them air dry away from heat.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of pressure on the top of the foot
Adjust the slotted lacing system to ensure it is not pulled too tightly across the bridge of your foot.
Heel slippage
Ensure the integrated knit tongue is pulled flat and try using a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Alphafly 3s, start by testing them on a trial run to adjust to the unique geometry of the carbon plate. Given the fit runs small, confirm your sizing before long-distance use. Regarding care, always avoid machine washing or drying the shoes as this can damage the performance foams and adhesives. Instead, clean the Atomknit upper by gently wiping with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can warp the cushioning materials.
