FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
While wearable, they are engineered for running performance and may feel unstable for casual use.
How do I clean the yellow upper?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge or machine wash.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, these are designed for road and track use; trail debris can damage the specialized outsole.
What is the sizing fit for these trainers?
They fit true to standard Nike sizing; ensure your UK size 8.5 provides enough room in the toe box for swelling during long runs.
How long will the cushioning last?
Performance life varies by running style and surface, but they are designed to maintain integrity through competitive racing blocks.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable during cornering
Ensure your laces are tightened securely to improve midfoot lockdown and stability.
Midsole seems to lose responsiveness
Allow the foam to recover for at least 24 hours between runs to maintain its structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% trainers, keep them away from abrasive terrain like gravel or rugged trails, as the thin outsole is designed for road racing. When cleaning, avoid the washing machine; instead, use a soft cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water to wipe down the upper and midsole. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the specialized cushioning materials. Ensure the fit is secure before every run, as the lockdown provided by the lacing system is critical to the shoe's overall performance.
