Gobi Oct 2021 3:34pm, 5 Oct 2021 74,897 posts	0 Gobi The Alpha make the old 4% feel normal. I can't see me ever do anything beyond run and remove them quickly they are even horrible just to walk in. Lovely for running mind you
J2R Oct 2021 4:10pm, 5 Oct 2021 3,847 posts	0 J2R Not tried the Adios Pro or Next%, but the Endorphin Pros are definitely designed to 'work' only when you're doing a certain kind of motion, namely running at speed.
SKR Oct 2021 5:20pm, 5 Oct 2021 1,053 posts	0 SKR I wore a pair of old pegasus to the start up line, swapped into my Alphas for the marathon and immediately put on a pair of oofos afterwards. I can't imagine walking around in my Alphas.
Velociraptor Oct 2021 5:27pm, 5 Oct 2021 54,383 posts	0 Velociraptor I found the 4% horrible to walk in at first, but after 200 miles either they're more tolerant of walking or I'm more tolerant of how they feel to walk in.
jda Oct 2021 5:31pm, 5 Oct 2021 10,901 posts	0 jda Now I'm all full of anticipation about my alphas. When they arrived I just put them on briefly indoors to make sure they fitted, and haven't run a step in them. Only 6 months to go (I'll test them in a race or two over the winter of course)
Lee78 Oct 2021 6:26pm, 5 Oct 2021 452 posts	0 Lee78 Alphafly was a lovely shoe to run in for this years Marathon! However I wouldn’t use it for shorter distances! It doesn’t have the zip of the Vaporfly or even the 4%!
