Advice for Trail Runners: The Nike Women's Ultrafly Trail Racing Shoes are for performance-oriented runners. This is because they're specifically tuned to help you run faster on off-road terrain.
Underfoot Feel
The Nike Ultrafly Trail Racing Shoes feature the brand's pinnacle technologies: ZoomX cushioning and a carbon fibre Flyplate. This should translate into you feeling lots of protection when you land, and then lots of propulsion as you transition through to push-off.
Optimised for trails, the flat bottom and minimised cross-rocker improve stability on uneven surfaces, while a heel-to-toe rocker smooths out your time on the ground.
A Vibram exclusive Ultrafly outsole works with a chevron lug pattern to improve grip on steep slopes, and wet and dry terrain. As the outsole features Vibram Litebase and Traction Lug technologies, the outsole should feel light and very grippy.
Upper Fit
The upper of Nike Utrafly Trail Racing Shoes utilises their signature Vaporweave design. This should feel very breathable. Specifically engineered zones of support in the midfoot improve stability on unpredictable terrain.
Ideal Run Type
The Nike Women's Ultrafly Trail Racing Shoes feature ZoomX foam and a carbon Flyplate to help you run faster. It's for this reason that we recommend using them when you're racing or doing hard training sessions. The grip should perform over an extensive range of surfaces.
As a result of the high level of cushioning on offer, they should feel comfortable for long distances. If you are running longer distances, you might like to know the ZoomX foam is wrapped in a knit-fabric to improve durability.

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.
