First look at Nike's new "daily trainer" version of the Alphafly Next%, called the Tempo Next%. Thought to be a replacement for the Zoom Fly3. A lot going on in the midsole - nylon plate, ZoomX foam in forefoot, airpod (like the Alphafly) under the ball of the foot, and React foam at the heel Nice and light for so much cushioning, looks pretty good too, imo |

Have any of you used lock laces on vaporly/next%, etc? I have been "keeping mine good" but now with a marathon approaching, I need to decide. I don't want to have to stop and relace or tighten mid-race but presumably they are already "optimised" and perhaps I shouldn't mess with them. (Not sure I will use them as my training took a hammering with a sprained ankle and I only have 2-3 trail runs beforehand.) |

I've never tried lock laces in any of my shoes, I like a pretty tight fit and always imagined ( perhaps wrongly ) that lock laces would stretch a little whilst in use and give a bit of movement. I just do a standard knot, then for a race do a bit of a warm up, adjust if necessary until it feels perfect, then double knot. |

Do you mean elastic or what? I have used elastic for a duathlon, it was ok but not great on a rather rough course (shouldn't really have used the shoes to be honest, but they were getting old anyway). The shoes are on the sloppy side already with such a spongy sole and lightweight upper. I like the standard lacing system and always use a double knot much as Gus describes.
