Fast, comfortable but doesn’t last

Everything you want from a fast shoe but really wish the heel would last longer as the rubber pads started to detach after a few long runs.

Nike Vaporfly 4
Ultralight design delivers a propulsive feel from a 10K to a marathon.
The Vaporfly 4 is a lean, mean, mile-eating machine. We trimmed weight in the midsole, outsole and upper from the Vaporfly 3, without sacrificing performance. The result is a lighter, more propulsive all-round racing shoe that's trusted from the mile to the marathon.
The engineered mesh helps reduce the weight of the shoe while providing a more consistent fit. And we saved more weight by reducing the size of the heel and tongue.
Nike ZoomX, our most responsive foam, just got lighter. Running from heel to toe, it unlocks even more energy return than before with a slight midsole reduction, giving you a bouncy feel.
We reduced the weight of the outsole by using a thinner rubber compared with the Vaporfly 3.
The full-length carbon fibre Flyplate sits at a higher angle compared to the plate in the Vaporfly 3. It combines with a lower heel-to-toe drop to give you a propulsive feel on race day.

Poor quality
PhilR48000557
I really like the look and feel of the shoe however, the manufacturing quality is unacceptable. I’ve had the soles fall off of three pairs of shoes within the first month of running. I’ve never had a quality issue on any other running shoe for over 40 years except for this specific model. Nike, you need to do better. This isn’t a fluke, this is a quality control issue with your manufacturing.
Alphafly-like 😍

Awesome street running shoe. Indon‘t understand people who use them for XC, that‘s not whatbthey are made for. The cushioning is very comfortable without being too soft. Very fast shoe, not made for easy runs, but for track days or speed runs. Better than the Alphafly 2! Runs small, I had to size up half a number.
