Advice for Road Runners: The Nike Women's Zoom Fly 5 Road Running Shoes bridge the gap between daily mileage running shoes and race day models. This makes them a very versatile option for performance-orientated runners.

Underfoot Feel

You're likely to feel a lot of underfoot protection when you land in the Nike Zoom Fly 5 Road Running Shoes. The subsequent sensation should be one of propulsion. 

This is because the midsole features energetic ZoomX foam and a full-length carbon fibre plate - which adds stiffness to the shoes. The combination should help you move with more efficiency.

Unlike the Nike Vaporfly and Alphafly Road Running Shoes, the Zoom Fly 5 midsole has a carrier foam that wraps around the ZoomX foam. This improves durability and makes them more suitable for training miles. It's also worth noting that broad base-nets improve underfoot stability.

Upper Fit

The Nike Zoom Fly 5 Road Running Shoes' upper balances support, breathability and durability. Your feet should feel supported by a midfoot wrap.

Ideal Run Type

The Nike Women's Zoom Fly 5 Road Running Shoes have a number of end uses. For example, they're likely to perform at their best on faster-paced training miles, such as intervals and tempo runs. However, some runners might enjoy these for everything from easy runs to racing in them.

This is ultimately because the midsole should improve your running efficiency over a very broad spectrum of intensities.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
