wore these to a race because i finally wanted to try them out and see what the hype was about… i cut two minutes off my original record and got my race pr. i was flying in these shoes, going 6 minutes flat per mile. if you are already are a fast runner (talking about averaging sub 9 minute miles) get these…
Just put 12 miles on them and so far, so good! It feels better than the Vaporfly 3’s, which didn’t last long for me. Very lightweight, supportive, and sufficient cushioning. Love the bright red color too!
Worse shoes ever, really bad quality, so many defects in the design and it looks very cheap for the price that we pay. I’m a long term Nike client and it’s very disappointing to get this.
Did my first run in these and I definitely was going super fast, I did size up as needed for running shoes and it was perfect. Gave me a boost of confidence for my upcoming half marathon!
These shoes lasted 10 weeks of track season before the heel came off.
After a less enjoyable Vaporfly 3, I was ecstatic to try these on and immediately notice the similarities to the Vaporfly 2 which was previously my favorite Nike racings shoe. “Adding lightness,” in the words of Lotus, is the best thing you can do whenever you already have an incredible design. Laces have improved slightly, and are still the best on the market; these don’t stretch and don’t come untied. Durability is always the tradeoff with some foams, and is the only possible criticism of this pair.
I’ve had the vaporfly 2 (run small), vaporfly 3 (run small and big). The vaporfly 3 fits perfectly and I can wear regular socks! It fits snug like a sock but not too tight. I can sustain my extremely hot hiit workout without my feet heating and cramping so these are a win win for me! I need more colors other than white and pastels!! My only complaint is that there isn’t enough laces for me to make a bow. I have to tie in a knot. I would definitely recommend these if you’re a vaporfly fan!
Nike should fix the sizing instead of telling runners to go up half a size. In my experience, a full size up would have been more accurate. I bought these expensive shoes in November 2025 and gave them several chances before reaching this conclusion. I wore them for a 4-mile run, a 15K, and a few easy runs before finally using them for a half marathon in March 2026. Early on, I started getting blisters under my arches, which almost never happens to me. Then during the half marathon, around mile 5, both of my toenails started to hurt. After I finished and took off my socks, I realized I had lost two toenails for the first time in my life. Yes, the shoes felt light, but that does not make up for the poor fit and the damage they caused. For the price, this was extremely disappointing. These shoes were not worth it for me.
I have worn these for all the marathons I’ve run and nothing else compares. The carbon fiber plate offers perfect bounce and support I need during a long run. The new stretch braided laces instead of the previous barbed laces is a great new feature. I’m normally a size 7 but always order a size up for marathons size 8 gives enough room without being too big. Wouldn’t run a marathon without them.
Very happy with this replacement for the original pair that had a defect on the inner sole. This one is defect free and it felt better than my other Vaporfly pair from last year- I felt the middle of the shoe was a bit wider which felt better. As for comfort and performance - same as my other Vaporfly. This is labeled as woman’s shoe - but it remains unisex and I can’t tell the difference.
