PositiveNearly 1,000 km into the Zoom Fly 6 and still loves it for easy zone 2 and long runs; they set a half-marathon PR in it, and it was the only shoe that did not press on their injured toenails.

NegativeA 50–60 mpw runner found the Zoom Fly 6 light and comfortable but was disappointed with its ride.

PositiveFirst 5 easy miles in the Zoom Fly 6: comfortable straight away, snug with no pressure points, lots of cushion without sinking and springy; great for tempo or long runs, though it runs a little short.

PositiveAfter a first 12.9 km uptempo run, this forefoot striker finds the Zoom Fly 6 smooth, stable and comfortable, though not poppy.

PositiveOver 100 miles in a month of marathon build-up, covering speed sessions, long runs up to about 32 km and easy miles. They found it very comfortable with a secure heel and no blisters, bouncy and surprisingly quick for the effort, and the outsole is wearing well so far. Downsides are a noisy outsole, soft foam that is weak on rear stability for heel strikers, clunky walking and looks they find ugly. Suits anyone wanting a durable do-it-all plated trainer.

PositiveAfter a 10-mile long run and 80 miles of workouts, this runner loves the Zoom Fly 6: no hotspots and very springy.
YouTube · The Run Testers · Nov 22, 2024 · summarized
Positive112 km, mostly long runs in marathon build-up, plus a track mile session, a steady 90 minutes and a hard progression run. They found it unusually comfortable for a plated trainer, bouncy and kind to the legs across hard days, with a true-to-size fit and no problems. At around marathon pace it began to feel big, and it is less nimble than lighter super trainers. Suits long runs and marathon training.

Positive'Most improved shoe of 2024' and finally a true super trainer to pair with the Alphafly or Vaporfly. Stable at speed, with good wet grip from the waffle outsole and a snug, true-to-size fit.

MixedAfter a first 10-mile run, this runner finds the Zoom Fly 6 comfortable and snug but stiff, with forefoot throbbing after mile 7; better for shorter runs.

PositiveFirst run in the Zoom Fly 6 was 15x400 at 10k pace: true to size, a no-nonsense upper with no rubbing or slipping, a slightly unstable rocker when walking but no stability concerns running.
Runners mostly like the Zoom Fly 6 as a comfortable, responsive tempo and workout shoe with a no-fuss upper, and several run many hundreds of kilometers in it. Some find it firm or stiff, especially for long runs, and a few say it lost its pop after a few hundred miles. A few get blisters.
