FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Alphafly 3 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adult trainers.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are designed for road surfaces. The outsole is not equipped to handle the debris or uneven terrain typical of technical trails.
How long do the shoes last?
Like most high-performance racing shoes, the lifespan depends on your running style, but you can typically expect optimal performance for several hundred miles.
Are these suitable for flat feet?
The Alphafly 3 provides neutral cushioning. If you require specific arch support or orthotics, ensure your inserts fit comfortably within the shoe.
How do I keep the white sections clean?
Spot clean the white mesh and foam areas with a gentle soap solution and a soft brush, then allow them to air dry away from heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs
Adjust the lacing tightness to secure the midfoot or use a runner's loop knot for a more locked-in heel fit.
Foam feeling compressed after many miles
Rotate your running shoes to give the midsole foam 24-48 hours to recover and expand back to its original state.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Alphafly 3 trainers last throughout your training block, proper care is essential.
- Fit: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 8; verify that there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Break-in: Take these for a few short test runs before committing to a long-distance race to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy or dusty runs, wipe down the outsole and midsole with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam's performance.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can damage the adhesive and structural foam.
