FAQs
Is the Alphafly NEXT% suitable for daily training?
While durable, it is specifically optimized for race-day performance and high-intensity speed workouts rather than daily, low-impact jogging.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
It provides structural support via the internal carbon plate, but it is a neutral performance shoe rather than a dedicated stability shoe.
How long should the foam last?
The longevity of high-performance foam depends on your running style and surface, but generally, expect standard mileage before noticing a reduction in energy return.
Can I use custom orthotics with these?
The shoe is designed with a specific internal geometry; using thick custom orthotics may alter the intended fit and feel.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Flyknit upper is designed for maximum breathability and airflow, meaning it is not water-resistant.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable during cornering
The stack height is significant; focus on controlled foot placement and avoid sharp, aggressive turns.
Upper feels too tight or restrictive
Adjust the lacing pattern to distribute pressure more evenly across the bridge of your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by wearing these shoes during shorter, faster sessions to allow your feet and ankles to adapt to the unique geometry. Always ensure you are selecting the correct UK size, as the performance fit is intended to be snug. To care for your shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after muddy runs to maintain the upper integrity. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and the adhesive bonds of the shoe. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
