Nike Vaporfly 4

Wore these and shaved 1 minute off my 5k time first attempt. They feel illegal. Awesome.

The Nike Vaporfly 4 Men's Road Racing Shoes are great. I can see why Elite runners love them. For me they are great for shorter distances (5k, 8k, 10k). I really felt light on my feet with the energy return the shoe provides for each step. Also the shoes are very light it was the 1st thing I noticed when I picked up the shoebox it felt as if it was empty. The impact on the road/concrete while running is barely felt due to amount of cushioning it has. Also my feet did not feel sore after the runs nor did they get sweaty due to the breathable fabric of the shoes. I noticed while training with them the pace of my miles have gotten faster (9:15 to 9:04). I am training my way back to running a marathon with the longer distances I need more stability at the heel of my foot as fatigue starts happening. I worry I will sprain my ankle with the Vaporfly since the heel narrow. I do believe that once my running form gets better the Vaporfly can be my go to shoe for half marathons and marathons. But for now I'll keep enjoying them for shorter distances.

Nike’s Vaporfly 4 road running shoe is quite impressive. Right out of the box I was very impressed with the sleek design. They felt very lightweight almost as if I was holding nothing, so I was a bit skeptical with how they would perform. However once I laced them up and went on a run in them I was pleasantly surprised! Although simple and extremely lightweight, the vaporfly does not lack in support and stability. The cushioning was very responsive/bouncy which made my run enjoyable and made me want to run farther. The mesh material of the shoe also allows for ample air flow and comfort. One thing I will say is that if you have wide feet, this shoe might be uncomfortable for you. The Vaporfly 4 has a very narrow design so if you have wide feet they could spill over the sides of the shoe. Other than that, the Vaporfly 4s are a very lightweight yet supportive running shoe that I’d recommend. I certainly look forward to getting more miles in with these shoes!
