Variants of this shoe
Some shoes have multiple versions of what is essentially the same shoe, with variations in style or materials. We try to group these together. Retailers sometimes list a version number wrong, and our system can treat those mislabeled names as variants.
How it ranks
The Nike Zoom Fly 6 ranks among the stronger supershoes in our data. Looks and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. Value scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating is based on 29 runner reviews and 4 other rated shoes in the Zoom Fly product line.

How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

While the price is hefty you get what you pay for. The zoom fly 6 can go easy paces, workout paces from tempo to 800 repeats and hard long runs. The shoe can also be used for a race if needed although the weight might hold you back a bit. Overall the most responsive and comfy shoe i've ever ran in.
