As a foot doctor I look at running shoes and running shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the running shoe's functional attributes

Some of the main areas we cover in this running shoe on foot test, and performance review of the adidas Nike Alphafly NEXT% 2
- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole

Sometimes you forget that a freaking shoe nowadays can impact your performance so much, so many records are being broken, so many people are avoiding injuries, and so may people love that comfort and compression.

[JordanThomasmedia]

While it hurt my heart to see this shoe torn apart, I appreciate the detail that went into this video. And agreed on the conclusion that the longer you are in these the better they will be. Well done!

[IndianaNaturalDog]

This is THE best shoe review and analysis I have ever watched on a running shoe. There's a lot of shoe reviewers out there but none as good as this. Well done and thank you!!!

[kevintam]

As a Pitt alum who really misses the Burgh and used to run/bike all around the areas filmed here, this video was extra awesome to watch. Thanks for the great content!

Zach is getting better and better.
1. The use of the gremmel with the high grit sand paper, to mimic abrasion.
2. The magnifyed images to see the structures of the upper.
3. And now that foot in the cross section cut away at 3:46 was also very interesting.

The amount of information I got in this review is just awesome.. just with every other review you've put out. Awesome work Zach.

I bought these after having fallen in love with the vaporfly 2. I thought they would be the next step up. It took 125-130km under foot before they started to feel great. I just used them for a race last week and they were brilliant! But I loved what you said about cramping and soreness in the initial breaking in stage. I would never risk wearing these new for a marathon…

[NShomebase]

Just wanna say I appreciate the effort you've been putting in with all the B-roll footage on these runner reviews, Doc.

[jjpellergene]

to my knowledge, saucony's PWRUN PB is the only other superfoam that is peba based, would love to see a comparison vs zoomx from nike.

[elliottjoseph]

So cool to see you getting into some running shoes!! I know you probably don't have enough data to do the best type for every foot type etc but would love to see a top 5 running shoes video. Or a favourite budget pick as comfort and durability are my main priorities in a runner

[alexge]

Hi, Zack!
I just want to let you know how helpful your videos are for the running community! I really appreciate your content and I would like to thank you for these videos. Keep it up. Cheers

[ingjoe]

54 y/o man, would not be running 50+ mpw, if this shoe did not exist
Its a game changer

I just discovered your awesome channel while researching Asics Super Blast for easy days

[maximilianklein]

It's a great shoe, but it's such a shame that the alphafly v1 had do "die" for it. I really hoped that the alphalfy 1 would become an all-time classic but no it has been killed and replaced by this shoe... and therefore I hate it. I know that there are people who like it, but to me it's just a good shoe ...the v1 was supreme. I loved the 4mm drop and I loved the air pods being closer to the ground. I loved the small arch area...or to put it in short. Everything that has changed was better in the v1.

[zolaQuela]

Have been waiting for this reviewer to do running shoes. Thanks, Dr.

[InbredJed]

Awesome video! Being born and raised in Pittsburgh, made it that much better

[swamigal]

Just bought myself a pair today, pink rose color, a bit nasty for a men shoe, but it is what it is, its my first switch to Nike after many many years of Adidas devotion, but lately my ultraboost structure is being broken under 550-600 km and that what I do in under two months period. Can't wait to put this one to the test, especially on the rainy day

[davidmerono]

Hi Zach, really like your videos and you've even saved me from shin splints caused by me shoes when playing tennis, so thanks!
I saw Nobull have released a new court trainer and also some new running shoes. What is your opinion on them? Haven't seen many (if any) reviews about them so quite curious to know if you have heard of them?
Thanks!

[HoreanAir]

finally found a big runner doing running shoes. will def subscribe.

[theace]

Your Reviews are Really great and i love the way you explain the functions and technical details of the Shoes you review. And i really appreciate That you cut the shoes in the middle just for us.
And i wanzend to ask if you will do a review of the Mb.01 lo as the mids are out of stock

Questions:

Why do you heel strike when you run despite the evidence suggesting that heel striking is poor running form? Are you able to mitigate the negative effects with the short strides? Is overstriding the main issue, not heel striking?
