The shoes offer a very snug fit and don’t really require you to “break into” them in order to have comfort feel. As soon as you put them on they you are ready to go! I run 6-7 miles everyday and can’t say enough how good they feel and how breathable they are. The color scheme is really easy to work with when creating my workout fits.I honestly don’t believe there is much to change these shoes are amazing and I plan to buy another once this pair wears out.

Nike Vaporfly 4
A light, efficient design feels propulsive for all 26.2.
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-around racing shoe that’s trusted from the mile to the marathon.
Full Speed
A full-length carbon fiber Flyplate provides a propulsive, racing feel.
More Energy Return
Nike ZoomX foam, our most responsive foam, just got faster. Running from heel to toe, it unlocks even more energy return than before thanks to a slight midsole reduction, giving you a bouncy feel.
Engineered Mesh
Engineered mesh offers improved comfort and a disappearing feel on your foot. It helps reduce the weight of the shoe while supplying a more consistent fit.
Light Feel
See how the midsole bulges out by the heel? We designed it that way to help reduce weight on the inside of the foot to give you a more stable ride.
What's New?
- Lighter upper, midsole, outsole

Nike Vaporfly 4 Men’s Road Racing Shoes
Erny - Nov 22, 2025
Fast runs - noticeable difference
West coast recovering runner - Nov 22, 2025
The Vaporfly 4 is my first foray into a racing style shoe vs a training runner (think zoom Vomero, etc) and the difference is immediately noticeable. The shoe itself feels super light both in hand and on feet. The material for the upper is almost transparent / and more of a stiff feel than the more cotton fabric of other shoes. I only used these shoes on speed runs - and I definitely felt more of the heel drop than in other shoes but it did force me to turn over my stride faster which felt good. The shoe fits true to size for Nike. Overall, my mile time was within 10% of my training shoes however I'm more of a causal runner vs a hard core racer. I think if you're looking to take your racing to the next level - this is the right shoe for that. The look on foot is sharp - and I really enjoy the clean silhouette. I'm going to save these for 5-10k races and keep testing them on speed runs to go for further improvement - but if you are already utilizing multiple shoes between training and racing - these would be a perfect fit.
The lightest most comfortable shoes EVER
Urs truly Rach - Nov 22, 2025
I got these shoes for my son. They are the most comfy light weight shoes. Perfect for running, walking everyday wear. The colors and the design are everything. The fabric is comfy and breathable. His biggest response to the shoes is so light when he’s running and playing his sports.

What's New?
- Nike’s most resilient foam just got a little better. The midsole design saves weight and unlocks even more energy return by reducing foam where it isn’t needed.
- The lab tested and runner validated curved full-length carbon fiber FlyPlate delivers a propulsive feel and unlocks more leverage from the foot and ankle.
- The blown rubber outsole delivers a dynamic combination of traction, durability and cushion. The softer material compresses to conform to the road for elevated traction and smooth transition.
- Engineered mesh upper increases comfort and fit consistency while contributing to the overall weight savings of the shoe.


“The Vaporfly 4 is the ideal Vaporfly. Nike nailed it. I love running fast in this shoe.”
