Nike Vaporfly 4

This shoe is clearly not for everyone. It's super light, very soft in spite of the carbon plate and very grippy thanks to a minimalist sticky outsole. But in essence it's designed for runners who land on their fore or mid foot. Most of the outsole covers mid to fore, with hardly any at the heel. So that automatically makes this shoe less long lasting, defining it as a race day pair. After just a short 5 km run I already noticed wear and tear on the ZoomX outsole! Frame your expectations to avoid disappointments, and you'll be fine to love this shoe for what it is.

Amazing shoes. the energy return is crazy and helps you run faster with less energy exertion

The shoe feels incredibly lightweight, almost like it’s propelling you forward with every stride. The carbon-fiber plate and responsive midsole give a perfect balance of energy return and cushioning, making long runs feel much easier on my legs. The fit is snug and secure, hugging the foot without causing any discomfort, while the breathable upper keeps my feet cool even on hot days. I’ve noticed I can maintain a faster pace comfortably, which makes it ideal for tempo runs and race days. Overall, the Vaporfly 4 is a game-changer for serious runners, combining speed, comfort, and innovation in one sleek package. Highly recommend it if you want a shoe that can boost performance without compromising on comfort.
