    I ran 190km in them. I weigh 78kg and measure 178cm. My race pace is 5:10 min/km half marathon. I am not a fast runner. And these are my first carbon shoes. And I must say that you can't run slowly in them 😁 I feel that they are a little softer than they were at the beginning. I even used them for 3 weeks as daily shoes and they didn't bother me even on slow runs without any pain. I would say that they are more suitable for advanced beginners (like me) as an entry point to carbon shoes if you don't want to invest 3x more. If they last another 100-200km, then for the price of 70€ they did their job perfectly. The weight in size 43EU is exactly 241g.

    Matt, I bought a pair of these a couple months ago. Yep the packaging was over the top! I ended up returning them because the fit for me never felt right. But I’m sure other folks may love them.

    i like it when they priced the shoes right. Carbon plated shoes around $120. You can not hear of that anywhere. Saucony Endorphin pro is $220. I will surely consider to buy one of these when I think I need a carbon plated racer… I am still a beginner in my running journey so speed 2 is great for me for the next two years. Afterwards, I probably can pick this up for 50% off.. that’s $60 for a plated shoe. It is a deal for me.

      @redstonep7607 Год назад +1

      @@its_Matt_B_ I would not buy an alphafly even for $60, since I think I am a heel striker since my outersole indicates that I am a mid foot and heel striker. Those alphafly will rip up very quickly on my feet … I might not even step hard enough on those air pockets anyway…. Lol. But I am learning forefoot running in the past month and realize it gives workout on my calf muscles whereas heel strikes work on my thighs. I can do a 10k run now.. my first 5k with forefoot running and the latter 5k as I am getting tired I go with heel striking, powered by my thigh muscles.

    Interesting shoe. Most likely of Chinese origin... Paint job is quite eye catching💅. I liked the engineering with the cord going around heel collar and pulling forward to get a heel lockdown without needing runner loop lacing. 👍 But that exposed heel air unit is likely to be punctured easily if it hits a sharp edge. I think the foam looks like EVA, maybe some sort of chemically modified EVA. I think it looks a bit fancier than my $100 Atreyu Artist. However, a better comparison would probably be PUMA Deviate Nitro 2. It is $40 more expensive but there are usually discount coupons available, and the foam is a combination of nitrogen infused EVA and PEBA (dual layer arrangement). I don't know if you took a look at PUMA Deviate Nitro 2. Maybe you did, I don't remember right now.

    • @its_Matt_B_
      @its_Matt_B_  2 года назад +1

      I didn't run in the Deviate Nitro 2, but I loved the first Deviate Nitro! That air unit feels quite tough, but it's only a sharp stone away from being punctured. However, even if it was punctured I can't quite see how it would make too big a difference to the ride. I suppose it could have a use, but it could just as easily be aesthetic only. I wasn't the Artist's biggest fan, but the Artist feels more race-ready than this shoe. This shoe feels like a tempo day shoe more than race day shoe.
