Nike Zoom Fly/Vaporfly 4 and NEXT% - The Thread

I reckon it you were ordering the same model in the same size every 30 days they might say something.
You would just have to move over to Asics then and have 90 days per pair :grinning:

No blisters for me after yesterday’s 26.2 miles.
I do have trenchfoot, but no blisters :ok_hand:t4::+1:t3:

I bought a pair of ZoomFly in black a couple of days before the blue ones came out for the knockdown price. I ordered the blue ones as well then have been using the black ones for the last month before sending them back at the weekend.

Before starting with my blue ones I decided to use my previous Asics DS trainers last night and wow I was surprised how awful they felt to run in!

I can only describe it as the Asics are like sitting on an uncomfortable bar stool and the ZoomFly like sitting on a plush sofa.

So I will not be using my Asics again and christening my blue ZoomFlys on my next run.

So for an extra Ā£15, you can now customise the NEXT%, including getting a FK upper, and a different outer sole grip pattern…

I can confirm you also walk faster in fly’s but look like a tit :rofl:

They really aren’t pleasant for walking, my ankle is sore from sponginess.

Right. That’s it for me now.
Pegs have been refunded.

Just going to kill my ZF FKs now.
4% crimson for proper races only.
4% blue for parkruns

This. I’m probably going to lose one of my big toenails after the Ironman. They’re a bit snug. ZFs are true-to-size.

Flicking through old copy of 220 tri, think from couple months ago and they did a feature on 6 best current run shoes. Mention the Nikes in the article but then don’t review them, instead talking about On and Hoka

Interesting. I’m comfortable in the same size for both FK versions (4% and ZF). But had to size up 0.5 in the previous ZF SP. Begs the question what I should go for in NEXT%, given Poet says to match the ZF FK. Guess I’d just get the same again.

There was a guy in Hoka Carbons at Hamburg - they were creaking like feck, even when he was walking :smiley:

probably a sponsored article :wink:

Yeah, you always have to watch for articles on products from ā€˜partners’. Slowtwitch is quite canny like that.

If any one is interested, I currently have a 9 and a 9.5 VFs I’d be willing to sell that haven’t been used. Would call it Ā£165 + postage, (as im assuming that’s still cheap for a brand new pair of VFs back home?) BUT they would be posted from the USA, so maybe Ā£10 as a guess I think extra for postage . I’d also suggest not putting them in the packaging at the risk of customs fees. An online shop sent me 2 extra pairs and refused when return when I tried to give them back to the local bricks and mortar store.

Also got a pair for myself a while back but still yet to wear them other than around the house. Haven’t been running much and don’t want to ruin them before I feel fit enough to warrant wanting that extra bit of speed.

Ok bit confused. I purchased a pair of the blue Zoom Flyknit when they were on offer.
What is the new equivalent shoe now
Thanks

Zoom Fly 3 or maybe the Zoom Gravity?

The ZF FK have been replaced by the ZF3

Thank you
