[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the slimmer sole design on Vaporfly shoes, and these are no different. My old pair (previous model) was a little snug, so I sized up by half a size (from my normal size which, interestingly, does work for the Pegasus), and these fit really well. I'm not sure why these size a little differently that other models, but take note.

Carbon Fiber Flyplate
A full-length carbon fiber Flyplate provides a stiff and propulsive feel.
Speed for Miles
Nike ZoomX foam, our most responsive foam, just got a little better. Running from heel to toe, it unlocks even more energy return than before, giving you a springy, bouncy feel.
Stable Ride
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.
Feel the Breeze
Flyknit yarns and engineered forefoot zones bring a new level of performance to the Vaporfly. Ample breathability around toes with soft, yet supportive yarns deliver our most customized Vaporfly upper.
What's New?
- Less outsole material and new perforated waffle pattern help reduce weight
- Light padding on tongue for reduced lace pressure

#teamnikeSoles fall apart - avoid defective shoe at all cost
murphsp1 - Jun 28, 2025
Soles quickly fall apart with very little mileage. Do not recommend. These are defective shoes. The last pair of vaporflys that I owned lasted 4x longer without any hint of the same damage.

Weight-Saving Waffle Outsole
A new, thinner outsole design allows for more ZoomX foam underfoot without sacrificing durability and delivers multi-surface traction in variable weather.
