Great shoe review. I particularly liked the titles coming in from the right - much easier to read 😀

They look like good tempo and interval training shoes, but I've already got shoes for that in my rotation, so I don't think I have space for these 😔.

It's also good that nike have reverted their returns policy. Do you know if it allows you to run outside in the shoes and still return them (like the policy from a couple of years ago did)?

Nike changed its warranty policy in my country. Now once used, no more warranty. I bought the Invincible 3, straightaway used for a 10k and came back, the upper torn from the midsole, the glue gave way. Submitted a Return and Nike rejected my claim invoking the policy, 'Once used, no more warranty '. I hated that.

Both you and Tim Grose rate this, so no doubt a good shoe . Nike finally has a alternative to the saucony speed, Novablast . Thanks for the review. PS.. that is some even wear patterns .. you are deffo not a candidate for stability shoe testing (might even caus you an injury ) .

[i.p]

Great review, totally agree with the Pegasus Plus being boring and lifeless..

Having watched your review Barry, I want to buy these shoes. However I’m still getting over an injury, how do these Zoom Flys feel at slower paces? Thanks for the great videos!
