FAQs
Is the AlphaFly 3 suitable for beginners?
While high-performing, the aggressive design is geared toward experienced runners who have adapted to carbon-plated or high-stack footwear.
Does this shoe fit true to size?
The AlphaFly 3 generally fits true to standard athletic sizing, though the streamlined upper may feel more snug than traditional trainers.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
These are specialized running shoes. They do not provide the lateral support needed for weightlifting or multidirectional gym activities.
How long will the foam last?
High-performance racing foams typically offer peak responsiveness for 200–400 miles depending on running surface and individual mechanics.
What is the primary difference between this and previous versions?
The AlphaFly 3 features an updated sculpted sole and a more refined upper for improved weight distribution and transition speed.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
The shoe is built for road racing. Stick to paved or track surfaces to ensure the midsole geometry remains stable.
Upper material showing slight creasing
This is normal for lightweight performance fabrics. Ensure the laces are snug but not overtightened to distribute tension evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your AlphaFly 3, avoid wearing these trainers on rough, gravel, or off-road trails, as the delicate midsole foam is optimized for road running and can be prone to debris damage. For care, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources like radiators to prevent midsole warping. When cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the upper mesh; do not submerge in water or use a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized bonding agents used in the sole construction. Ensure the shoes are fully air-dried in a ventilated area before your next run.
