FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

While wearable, they are specifically engineered for performance running and may feel less comfortable than dedicated walking shoes for casual use.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

The Alphafly fits true to size, but since foot size can vary, ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the toe.

Can I use these for trail running?

No, these are designed for road and track surfaces. The sole technology is not optimized for the grip required for technical trails.

What is the primary material used?

They feature high-quality synthetic materials and performance foam, consistent with professional-grade racing footwear.

How long will the foam cushioning last?

Like all high-performance racing shoes, the cushioning will gradually compress over time; it is recommended to monitor the tread and foam response after several hundred kilometers.

Troubleshooting

Feel unstable during turns

The Alphafly is designed for linear speed; avoid sharp lateral cuts or quick changes in direction to maintain stability.

Difficulty finding the right lace tension

Use a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel without putting excessive pressure on the midfoot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Industry-leading energy return technology
  • Extremely lightweight construction for faster pacing
  • Provides a highly responsive feel underfoot
  • Designed specifically for competitive race-day performance

Cons

  • Performance focus may feel less stable for lateral movements
  • Requires a break-in period for some runners
  • High-tech materials necessitate careful handling and cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Alphafly trainers maintain their performance longevity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure the laces are tightened properly but not overly restrictive to allow for natural foot swelling during long runs.
  2. Surface Compatibility: These shoes perform best on paved roads, tracks, or smooth surfaces. Avoid rocky or uneven terrain to protect the delicate outsole material.
  3. Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers as this can damage the performance foam and air units.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material degradation.
