Product Review: AMPLAsport AmplaFly Shoes
"
Disclaimer: I received a pair of Ampla Sport AmplaFly Shoes to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!"
There are hundreds of different shoes on the market for running. Each style and brand boasts different features and perks to help runners improve.
AMPLAsport utilizes
science and research to create shoes that help runners maximize their force and performance.
The most noticeable difference in these shoes compared to others is the carbon plate on the sole. This feature is what assists in body mechanics and power when you run in them.

I was so excited to try these shoes out! I love when companies integrate new science into products.
The biggest thing I noticed when I wore these was the promotion of body mechanics while I was running. The plate forces your foot to continue in motion instead of just landing flat on the ground as well as pushing your foot forward again with the next step. The feel of them is very different and takes a little getting used to when compared to a traditional running shoe.
These shoes are perfect for spadework and track work. The plate helps to maximize those workouts and increase your speed. Now, I'm not the speediest runner, and I'm the first to admit that. What I noticed was that while my splits were a second or two as far as time difference, my feet and legs didn't feel clunky...the motion was definitely more fluid. These shoes almost force proper body mechanics, which is a great benefit.
I would recommend these as a great speed and track workout shoe.
AmplaFly are available in red and black for both men and women. While not available in stores, you can get them for $120 from the
website and they ship for free :)
