These felt great. Laced um up, lockdown was solid, foot felt secure and the ride was very smooth and ridiculously light with great bounce and very surprising energy return. I did a nice calm 8 miles right out the box at an 8:22min pace and we were cruising. Knees and feet felt great after, like I can do 8 more with no problem. Lacing system is efficient also. I wear a 12 in sneakers, but 12.5 in all my runners. 12.5 was perfect in these and toe box had just the right room. My feet are narrow and I have a decent arch, but very comfy and secure ride. Under the sole it slightly wore a little, but this may be based off your foot landing and terrain you run on. I was on road/pavement. This is a race day shoe, so I won’t have daily runs with this, just strictly for my races and half marathon/marathon sessions. Just a bit concerned with the wear on the bottom of the sole after one run. Overall, great race day choice!

Nike Vaporfly 4
The Vaporfly 4 is a mile-eating machine that just got lighter. We trimmed weight with a carbon fiber Flyplate and ultra-responsive ZoomX foam midsole to give you race-day speed without sacrificing performance. The result is a fine-tuned racing shoe that’s trusted from the mile to the marathon.
Full Speed
The full-length carbon fiber Flyplate has a higher angle than the Vaporfly 3 and combines with a lower heel-to-toe drop to give you a propulsive feel on race day.
Lighter Foam
Nike ZoomX, our most responsive foam, just got lighter. Running from heel to toe, it unlocks even more energy return than before thanks to a slight midsole reduction, giving you a bouncy, feathery feel.
Less Weight
Engineered mesh on the upper offers improved lightweight comfort while supplying a more consistent fit. We reduced the size of the heel and tongue to save even more weight.
Light Feel
The midsole bulge at the heel helps reduce weight on the inside of the foot and give you a more stable ride. We reduced the weight of the outsole by using a thinner rubber compared to the Vaporfly 3.
What's New About the Vaporfly 4?
We made minor tweaks so you can enjoy major gains. We trimmed inessential weight in the upper, midsole and outsole without sacrificing performance.

How Do I Love Thee?

How do I love thee, let me count the ways: Back to the second ideation in many ways but the feel is similar to the good old Vaporfly two days! I Love the energy return with the CF modification, hello race day celebration! It’s snug in the toe box but actually fits, the length is more generous, hey “look at those splits!” I never thought I’d say it after the 3, but Nike you redeemed yourself and made a happier me!

Excellent running shoe. Runs true to size. Super lightweight and breathable, only thing I wish for the price they came with a racing backpack and the same laces as the AF3. Will 100% buy again as I did not receive these for free, nor was I asked to wrap ye this. If you see this and Nike still hasn’t dropped them, check out DicksSportingGoods that’s where I got my VaporFly 4 in Ghost. Male - 6ft - 170lbs size 11.5 - Combat Veteran Ironman Training
