Nike Zoom Fly 6 Reviews

Retired a pair of Zoom Fly 6 at 340 miles once it lost its pop, and loves it as a good, fun shoe, though they find the Boston 13 a little more versatile with more ground feel.

After 300 km of track, tempo, easy and long runs, this runner finds the Zoom Fly 6 great at any pace, durable and excellent value.

Bought it on a review's advice and at the same tempo their heart rate dropped 10-12 bpm while running faster.

A 148 lb runner's first run in the Zoom Fly 6: less cushioned than the Novablast and Superblast but the most comfortable plated shoe they've tried, just okay at easy paces and very responsive when faster, though it demands good form. Toe box felt a little narrow.

Over 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.

After a 10-mile long run and 80 miles of workouts, this runner loves the Zoom Fly 6: no hotspots and very springy.

112 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.

Lighter, cushier and bouncier than v5, and excels at moderate to fast paces. The laces are too skinny, it runs short and shallow (toenail risk) and it's a bit loud.

'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.

Performance B+ to A-, with good value marks. Very versatile for long runs and workouts, and could race for some. More soft than responsive, the fit is extremely low-volume, and there’s only mild outsole wear at 30 miles.
