Ordered these shoes having already owned multiple pairs of the previous Vaporfly 3, my previous favourite shoe. The Vaporfly 4 exceeded my expectations in every way. Faster, more comfortable and more stable. It’s also appears to be more solidly built than the previous generation which did wear quickly. First run and I shaved 30 secs per KM of my previous fastest 10k! 30! Do yourself a favour and buy these shoes :)

Nike Vaporfly 4
Men's Road Racing Shoes
The Vaporfly 4 is a mile-eating machine that just got lighter. We trimmed weight all over from the previous iteration without sacrificing performance. And the carbon-fibre Flyplate and ultra-responsive ZoomX foam midsole combine to give you race-day speed. The result is a more fine-tuned racing shoe that's trusted from the mile to the marathon.

Nike Vaporfly 4
The Vaporfly 4 is a mile-eating machine that just got lighter. We trimmed weight all over from the previous iteration without sacrificing performance. And the carbon-fibre Flyplate and ultra-responsive ZoomX foam midsole combine to give you race-day speed. The result is a more fine-tuned racing shoe that's trusted from the mile to the marathon.
Full speed
The full-length carbon-fibre Flyplate has a higher angle than the Vaporfly 3 and is combined with a lower heel-to-toe drop to give you a propulsive feel on race day.
Lighter foam
Nike ZoomX, our most responsive foam, just got lighter. Running from heel to toe, it unlocks even more energy return than before thanks to a slight midsole reduction, giving you a bouncy, feathery feel.
Less weight
Engineered mesh on the upper offers improved comfort and provides a disappearing feel on your foot. It helps reduce the weight of the shoe while supplying a more consistent fit. And we reduced the size of the heel and tongue, saving you even more weight on your run.
Light feel
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. We reduced the weight of the outsole by using a thinner rubber compared with the Vaporfly 3. You still get the same reliability, just without any unnecessary thickness.
What's new about the Vaporfly 4?
We took a racing-car approach when updating the Vaporfly 4, making minor tweaks so you can enjoy major gains. We trimmed inessential weight in the upper, midsole and outsole without sacrificing performance.

The best running shoe ever

I ended up with the vaporfly 4s after trying many hoka, brooks, and saucony. They all make great shoes. But these are the very best. Even compared to other Nikes super shoe offerings. These seem to be a culmination of technology and design that have created the ultimate super shoe. They are so light they feel like nothing in your feet. Very tactile. I can feel the ground unlike most carbon plate shoes. I feel so fast and secure in these shoes. Thank you Nike!

Awesome shoe! Super fast and aggressive. The fit is true to size and I was able to get a very secure fit with a heel lock lace tie. Seems like a true sequel to the Vaporfly 2 (and OG Vaporfly) vs the Vaporfly 3. Maybe not as “squishy” as the Alphafly 3, but folks who need the added stability might find that a positive! Overall amazing super shoe!
