  • Roads & PavementRoads & Pavement

    Road running shoes feature smooth outsoles that are designed for running on paved surfaces such as roads, sidewalks, and bike paths.

  • Smooth Trails & FireroadsSmooth Trails & Fireroads

    Designed to handle most trail runs, these shoes prioritize comfort and a smooth ride. These shoes are great for anything from smooth singletrack, park trails, and fireroads making them ideal for those who run from their doorstep on streets before hitting the trail.

  • Rocky & Technical TrailsRocky & Technical Trails

  • Soft & Muddy TrailsSoft & Muddy Trails

    Designed for use in muddy, soggy conditions, these shoes feature very aggressive outsoles that dig deep into soft ground for exceptional traction.

  • Snowy & Icy TrailsSnowy & Icy Trails

    These shoes feature technical outsoles designed to grip snowy and icy trails making them ideal for winter trail running.

Cushioning Level

  • Cushioning level, or stack height, refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this category, we reference the amount of cushioning below the forefoot as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.
    Learn more about stack heights and how we measure them.

  • Barefoot

    0-13mm. The Shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground underfoot.

  • Minimal

    14-18mm. The shoe has a thin midsole that allows for a natural running experience. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here. These shoes offer a feeling of being connected to the road or trail.

  • Low

    19-23mm. The shoe has a slightly cushioned feel and may feature added cushioning technologies. Performance training shoes and some trail shoes are common here. These offer protection during footstrike but prioritize a lightweight, grounded experience.

  • Medium

    24-28mm. These shoes have a stack height that fall near the middle of the spectrum.The shoes in this category are verstaile and great for all types of runs and distances.

  • High

    29-34mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and ample cushioning. These shoes are highly protective and absorb more impact than the body.

  • Maximal

    35mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on protection and soft foam underfoot with hardly any ground feel.

Stability Level

  • Neutral

    Neutral shoes support the foot through a normal range of arch collapse and generally do not have a built-in technology to correct movement.

  • Stable

    Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.

Its flat bottom and streamlined geometry guarantee stability and nimbleness from the start to the finish line. Completing this shoe is the lightweight and durable Vaporweave mesh upper that offers excellent protection against the elements while remaining breathable and quick-drying.

  • Weight

    The weight is based on a Men's size 9 for Men's and Unisex shoes or Women's size 8 for Women's shoes. The weight listed is for a single shoe, including the laces.

  • Heel Stack

    The heel stack refers to how high your heel sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.

  • Forefoot Stack

    Forefoot stack refers to how high the ball of the foot sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.

  • Heel-toe Offset

    Heel-toe offset (drop) is the difference in height between the heel stack and the forefoot stack. We use the number given to us by the brand.

Nike AlphaFlyNo other shoes compare! I am 59 years old and my feet used to hurt horribly after running and in the morning as well with Brooks, Saucony, Hoka and Altra. Finally I paid the money for the AlphaFly and it is so worth it! No more hurting feet! It feels like running on a trampoline or how running used to feel in high school. They do only last about 200-250 miles but that is the only downside. The fit is secure thru the midfoot and the heel has a cushion so your foot won't slip but a roomy toebox. The tongue doesn't move around and the laces are stretchy and notched so they remain tied with one knot. These shoes make long miles on the road possible again. I even wore them on easy trails and they have nice traction! Walking also just feels better in them; it's hard to wear any other shoe even just casually. One hundred percent highly recommend.

Good not great.Ran roughly 60 miles in them. I noticed the toe box was just slightly narrow for my feet immediately, but wanted to love them so I ignored it. By mile 50 I decided I couldn’t live with them, but I had 10 miles left in my run. Everything else was top shelf. Loved the carbon plate returning my energy. Vibram sole never fails. Upper was durable and aesthetically pleasing.

High praise of this shoe unwarrantedFirst off, this shoe feels comfortable upon step in and seems to have a nice hold of the foot. I will say it does seem to make running feel a bit easier on the legs, but I don't notice a real discernible difference in efficiency. But thats about all the good that I can really say about this shoe. To me it seems like a group project where multiple different people designed different parts of the shoe and then cobbled it together. Some did more poorly than others. Front of the shoe feels great, plenty of room in the toes while still feeling like the toes are locked down, no sliding around or too much volume, no floppyness up front. But then we have heal that has almost no heal hold and a loose ankle collar that allows debris to come right in. On top of an obviously cushy bouncy foam, with a massive forefoot platform. The result is an overly cumbersome ride that seems to be geared towards a heal strike. The outsole while it is a grippy vibrim rubber has flare on the heal but not on the forefoot, within less than 50 miles because of the huge width of the forefoot and no flare up front the rubber has already worn way down and is even wearing into the foam. Hence, not forefoot runner friendly. It is so heavy and bulky than even though it takes some of the bite out of faster efforts, I do not feel nearly as confident navigating each stride forward with these massive things on trail, not nearly so as running in something like the Salomon Pulsar. Anyway, for me its a huge miss for a shoe costing this much. If it were $100 cheaper I wouldn't be so harsh. But I was absolutely expecting more than a glorified bulky daily trainer. Lets hope they come up with something better for v2.

Almost perfect road to trail racer.Let’s go to the 2 negatives first: 1) midsole lacks cushion in forefoot. Needs about 3-4 mm more in the forefront for added comfort and performance, especially for hard packed trails/roads and downhills 2) shallow lugs. Not best traction on dirty trails. Although it sports a Vibram outer sole , not a good trail shoe all year round for muddy , dusty trails. Postives: upper is a gem in comfort. Slipper like feel and fit. The last or shape is perfect. Great room around forefoot. I never feel rubbing or friction in toe box. Amazing! The heel cup is minimal and also semi -soft and not rigid in the heel counter bottom. If you have bone spurs, bursitis , or heel bone sensitivity this shoe is great in comfort and stability. Feels like I am running in a second foot. Meshes and molds perfect with my foot and I have no issues with bony sensitive heel , blistered/ battered big toes and high instep pressure. The lace system eyelets locks down without adding pressure points on instep or top of foot. The stability and confidence of lock down in the ultrafly is outstanding. The plate seems to add economy of effort on uphills. Overall , I think the Ultrafly hits the spot of giving you a road racing feel in a trail package! I love the comfort and shape of this shoe, fits like a slipper meets glove. My only gripes are the grip (needs a little more lug height) and cushion/stack height (needs more cushion in forefoot & and little more in the heel) to bring it to a balanced 7mm drop.

Love these shoes.I just finished a four hour run of RPE 5-6 and I swapped into these shoes for the last hour from my normal moderate cushion trail runners. And I freaking loved that last mile. Felt like flying. I know this shoe is really just Nikes first try and it’s gonna get way better from here so nothing wrong with waiting. But I think most folks will love the feel of these bad boys.

Fast and furious!Ran WSER100 2024 with them - between Robinson Flat and Finish. They are fast and quite comfortable. They protect very well your soles and the toe box is large and safe.

My favorite trail shoeI was pleasantly surprised having a wider foot and not having run in a Nike shoe for some time. The Vibram sole is the best out there in my opinion. Perhaps not the go to shoe for super technical trails requiring hiking as they don't have the best stability but a fast shoe for runnable terrain. I took them to Hawaii volcanoes descents and California trails and they have been great. They do gather small rocks and dust between the two thin forefoot material layers. All in all my go to race shoe and favorite for fast trail racing.

Almost perfect!Everything about it is perfect except for the upper sole where it is a bit stiff and sorta digs into top of my feet.

Good for what they are.First off....these are very comfortable. I have maybe 50 miles in them and have mostly enjoyed them. One issue to be aware of. These shoes are very stiff. Very little flex and I'm not sure the carbon plate is needed. It also takes a little work to get a good lock down. If these were $150 I would recommend them. At $260 I'm not so sure.
