Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff
Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs. The carbon plate may require some mileage to adapt to your stride.
Lack of cushioning for comfort
Consider if this model is the right fit for your needs. The Zoom Fly 6 prioritizes responsiveness; for maximum cushioning, explore other Nike models designed for comfort.
Poor traction on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good grip, wet conditions can reduce traction. Run with caution on wet roads and consider that performance may be slightly diminished.

Ensure the laces are tied correctly, not too tight. The woven mesh upper is designed to be secure but breathable; adjust lacing for a more personalized fit.
