One of the best shoes I have ever owned
These are great flats, but if you want a pair you better pick them up quick. I don't think this version will be around for much longer.

I really like these shoes. Not the most durable, but you know that when you purchase them. If you are an efficient runner, I think these are great up to the half marathon. They have lots of cushion, just very little support. I wore them for a half and they felt great.

The Nike Mayflys are light, but at a cost. (2007-10-15)

Not a bad shoe, but I will not buy it again
The Nike Mayflys are light, but at a cost. They are fast and light and I've run well in them, but they don't last, especially the upper. For me, it fell apart after a few races. I wouldn't want to risk having them fall apart in a race. Still, if you have a very short race (5k or less) and don't mind buying a few pairs, one to test and one to race in, then go for it.

The Mayfly is as light as they come. Not everybody will be able to run in this shoe, but if you can, you will fly. I'll use this in races up to 10k.
