FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for daily training?
While optimized for performance, it can be used for various training runs. However, some runners may prefer a less aggressive shoe for daily, easy mileage to prolong the Alphafly's lifespan for key workouts and races.
How do I choose the right size?
It's recommended to measure your foot and refer to Nike's official sizing chart. Account for a thumb's width space at the front. Your running shoe size might be slightly larger than your casual shoe size.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and cushioning. Spot clean with mild soap and water, then air dry.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
Wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks is recommended. This helps prevent blisters and keeps your feet dry and comfortable during runs.
How do I know when to replace my Alphafly NEXT% 3?
Look for signs like a loss of cushioning responsiveness, excessive outsole wear, or new aches and pains after runs. Typically, high-performance running shoes last between 300-500 miles.
Is the 'flat heel' design good for all runners?
The flat heel design is engineered for stability and efficient energy transfer. It benefits many runners by promoting a smooth stride, but personal preference and running form can vary. It's designed to work with the shoe's overall propulsion system.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure laces are properly adjusted for a snug but not tight fit. Check sock thickness and material. Break in shoes gradually over shorter runs.
Shoe feels loose or too tight
Re-adjust the lacing closure. Consider trying different lacing techniques to customize fit around the arch or forefoot. Verify correct size, considering foot swelling during activity.
Decreased cushioning or responsiveness
This is a sign of normal wear and tear over time. Running shoes have a typical lifespan (300-500 miles). If mileage is high, consider replacing the shoes.
Sole appears worn out unevenly
Uneven wear can indicate a need for new shoes or may point to a running gait imbalance. Consult a running specialist or observe your foot strike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Before your first run, ensure proper lacing. Start from the bottom eyelets and work your way up, pulling laces snug but not overly tight. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points.
- Fit Check: With socks on, stand up. There should be a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The midfoot should feel secure, and the heel should not slip.
Compatibility:
This shoe is designed for adult athletes focused on running. Its performance-oriented features are best utilized by individuals engaged in serious training, racing, or regular running activities.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth to spot clean. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials.
- Drying: Air dry shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
- Lifespan: Running shoe lifespan varies but generally ranges from 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style, weight, and surface. Monitor for signs of wear such as flattened cushioning or worn outsoles.
