Nike Ultrafly Reviews

At 500 km, a runner calls the Ultrafly the best shoe they've owned for moderate, flat trails, with an insanely good upper and shape.

B+/A- overall: a ZoomX and Vibram trail super shoe with a comfortable upper and barely any wear at 45 miles.

At 271 km, this runner loves the Ultrafly with no wear issues.

After 220 km including a rainy 100K race, this runner finds the Ultrafly durable, well-draining and grippy, with a stable base and great energy return, though lockdown took work.

After a 30 km first run, this runner finds the Ultrafly roomy in the toes, firm for ZoomX and built to last.

After 100 miles calls the Ultrafly a lower, more stable Vaporfly on gravel, rocky roads, trails and snow with great traction and no loss of pop, though the upper is poor.

Over a year in rotation, roughly 200 miles, at least weekly and two or three runs a week early on. They loved the soft, bouncy cushioning that still felt lively with the plate snappy after all that time, plus the roomy toe box and midfoot and a tough upper. Downsides: a precise fit with little give that is hard to adjust once laced, an all-white colour that shows dirt, and a high price, though they still rated it a buy. The tested pair had an older outsole, so grip was not judged.
