Great Sneaker

Light weight racing shoe
Nike User - May 19, 2025
I did not notice much “energy recovery,” so I feel the benefits are from the shoe’s light weight. Cheaply made, in my opinion, as the foam winglet on the back of the shoe tore off during the Boston Marathon. Otherwise, this model is much better and fits better than the Vaporfly I ran Boston in last year.
So squeaky!

Gorgeous shoe. But insanely squeaky to walk in. It’s ridiculous.
