FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Nike Air Zoom Maxfly is primarily designed for shorter to middle-distance track events. While they offer cushioning, longer-distance road racing may benefit from shoes with different support and cushioning profiles.
How do I clean the Flyweave upper?
Gently wipe the Flyweave upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
Can I use these shoes for training every day?
No, these are specialized racing shoes. Daily training in them can lead to premature wear and may not provide the ideal support or cushioning for high-mileage training runs.
What is the benefit of the full-length carbon-fiber plate?
The carbon-fiber plate provides significant rigidity to the midsole. This rigidity enhances stability and ensures efficient energy transfer, leading to a more powerful and responsive stride.
Are the spikes included with the shoes?
Yes, the shoes come with seven removable spikes. Additional or replacement spikes can be purchased separately.
How long does the Zoom Air unit last?
The Zoom Air unit is designed for durability during competitive use. Its lifespan depends on the frequency and intensity of use, but it is engineered to maintain its responsiveness throughout the shoe's racing life.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Please refer to Nike's official warranty information for details specific to footwear, which typically covers manufacturing defects for a limited period.
Troubleshooting
Spikes not gripping effectively
Ensure all spikes are securely installed and that they are the appropriate length for the track surface. Clean any debris from the spike receptacles and the track surface.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Allow for a break-in period of a few shorter runs or warm-ups. Verify you have the correct size and consider if the shoe's last shape is suitable for your foot.
Upper feels too loose
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more secure fit. Ensure the laces are tied properly to maintain tension throughout your run.
Excessive noise during running
This can sometimes be caused by the air unit. Ensure all components are intact and properly seated. For competitive shoes, some unique sounds can be normal due to the advanced technology.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Spike Insertion: Carefully screw the provided spikes into the designated holes on the forefoot of the outsole. Ensure they are securely tightened but do not overtighten.
Fit Adjustment: Lace the shoes snugly, ensuring the Flyweave upper conforms to your foot. The goal is a secure fit without pressure points.
Compatibility:
These shoes are designed for use on standard athletic tracks (synthetic surfaces).
They are compatible with most athletic spike types suitable for track racing.
Care:
Cleaning: After use, brush off any dirt or debris. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the upper and midsole. Avoid immersing the shoes in water.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag can help protect them. Remove spikes when storing for extended periods to prevent damage to the shoe and the spike bag.
