FAQs
Are the Nike Air Zoom Maxfly shoes World Athletics approved?
Yes, the Nike Air Zoom Maxfly is World Athletics approved, making it compliant for use in sanctioned competitions.
What is the primary purpose of the Zoom Air unit?
The Zoom Air unit in the forefoot is designed to provide responsive cushioning and stability, enhancing propulsion during toe-off.
Can I use these shoes for everyday training runs?
These shoes are engineered for racing and competitive events. While they have ZoomX foam for cushioning, their aggressive design and spike plates are not ideal for high mileage or everyday training.
How many spikes come with the shoes?
The Nike Air Zoom Maxfly typically comes with seven removable spikes that can be inserted into the forefoot.
What is the difference between the carbon-fiber Flyplate and Zoom Air?
The full-length carbon-fiber Flyplate provides overall rigidity and responsiveness across the entire foot. The Zoom Air unit is a pressurized air pocket specifically located in the forefoot to offer targeted cushioning and a bouncy feel.
How should I clean my Maxfly spikes?
Brush off dirt and use a damp cloth with mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What size UK feet are these trainers for?

Troubleshooting
Spikes are difficult to screw in.
Ensure the spike holes are clean and free of debris. Use the provided spike wrench or a similar tool. If the issue persists, the threads might be damaged; consider contacting customer support.
Shoes feel too stiff for comfort.
The Nike Air Zoom Maxfly is designed for maximum propulsion, which requires a stiff plate. If they feel too stiff for training, consider using them only for race day or for shorter, faster intervals. Ensure you have the correct size for a proper fit.
Traction seems insufficient.
Check that all spikes are securely in place. Ensure you are using the appropriate type and number of spikes for the track surface. Clean any mud or debris from the outsole and spikes.
Upper feels restrictive.
The Flyweave upper is designed for a secure, locked-in fit. Try loosening the laces slightly and re-lacing to find a more comfortable tension. Ensure the shoe is the correct size; a shoe that is too small will feel restrictive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack the shoes and the included spike bag.
Using the spike wrench provided (or a similar tool), screw the desired number of removable spikes into the pre-drilled holes on the outsole. Ensure they are tightened securely but do not overtighten.
Check that the spikes are evenly distributed for balanced traction.
Compatibility:
These shoes are designed primarily for track and field competition.
They are compatible with standard synthetic tracks and cinder tracks.
Not recommended for use on roads, treadmills, or for general training due to their specialized construction and spike configuration.
Care:
Cleaning: After use, gently brush off any dirt or debris from the outsole and upper. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with a mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
