Nike - Zoom Fly 5

zoom fly 5’s are super comfortable by nike standards. saucony endorphin are also legit imo, but your feet will hurt regardless if you’re new to outdoor running lol

Would you categorise currex runpro as orthotics? I just got the evo SL, and after the first run had a panic because I felt a tiny tiny niggle in my knee. I had the Zoom Fly 5 and this caused havoc on my knees. Since I’ve always aimed for a shoe with a wide sole. Having said this though, I added the currex runpro a couple of years ago and I’m thinking that the added support in the arch will stop my knees caving inward. If anyone fancies weighing in it would be appreciated. The EVO SL felt so good, just besides the momentary knee fear.

I like the Nike Fly Zoom 5. Super cushiony and propellant effect. Makes me feel like a kid running around just for fun.

Yes I’m coming around to this but did wonder if anyone found any regular shoes to be plenty stable before going any further into true stability shoe territory. I have a set of Gel Nimbus 27 and Evo SL and they’re both too soft for me now, I’ve gone back to my old Nike Zoom Fly 5 which feel better but they’re pretty beat up.

I bought the zoom fly 5. I think that is the worst running shoe of all time and it put me off Nike

I use Nike Ultrafly for the exact scenarios you describe. It’s not a lightweight shoe, though. But that hasn’t bothered me. And I’m someone who seeks out light shoes because I run a lot of steep technical ascents where weight really is noticeable. For example, I wear Arcteryx Norvan SL3 a lot, and I don’t think you can find a lighter trail runner on the market right now.

Running Shoes... I'm actually wearing my Pegasus Plus right now. It's great for walking around all day. I keep my Alphafly, VaporFly, Streakfly and Zoomfly for training and racing.

Find one shoe you like and keep buying it. For me that’s Superblast, Gel Nimbus, and Zoomfly.

Nike zoom fly. Good balance of speed without ripping my feet apart like the alpha.

just picked these up the other day too, I’m pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are after hearing how carbon plated shoes can be pretty brutal. but I’m realizing they’re probably not as aggressive as some of the top-tier plated options out there.
