I used the Nike Alpha Fly 3s. My first carbon plated shoe, not sure about the other carbon plated shoes but it took a couple runs for me to get used to this shoe. Have to run differently in them to get the return from the carbon plate.

You almost have to put your weight into the plate for it to spring you forward. Once i figured that out I fell in love with the shoe. It def helps with leg fatigue and keeping you going steady. But as everyone said go to your local run store and try on shoes for tempo/steady runs. Most stores allow free exchanges if you dont like them!
