So I want to get the Alphafly 3s (when they restock in April). But I’m not sure it’s a great idea, for one thing they are meant for marathons specifically (They work for every distance but best on longer distances). So I might do better with a Vaporfly or other 5k specific shoe. Secondly, they’re $285. But, you can’t beat the hype of wearing the absolute best running shoes of all time. What do y’all think?

Edit: for those who don’t know what they are, the alphaflys are the best marathon running shoes ever made, the original version was used by Eliud Kipchoge to run a 1:59 marathon (not a world record though sadly) and gen 3 was used by Kelvin Kiptum to run a 2:00:35 world record marathon. And the vaporflys are like 1 level below the alphaflys in terms of performance and they are more general-purpose than the alphaflys.
