Nike Men's Vaporfly 4 Road Running Shoes

About This Item

The Vaporfly 4 is a lean, mean, mile-eating machine. Nike® trimmed weight in the midsole, outsole and upper from the Vaporfly 3 without sacrificing performance. The result is a lighter, more propulsive all-around racing shoe that’s trusted from the mile to the marathon.

What’s New:

  • A higher angle of the plate and lower heel-to-toe drop compared to the Vaporfly 3 give you an improved propulsive feel
  • Upgraded Nike® ZoomX foam provides even more energy return than before thanks to a slight midsole reduction, giving you a bouncy, feathery feel
  • Nike® reduced the weight of the outsole by using a thinner rubber compared to the Vaporfly 3, eliminating unnecessary thickness

Design:

  • Engineered mesh offers improved comfort and a disappearing feel on your foot, reducing the weight of the shoe while supplying a more consistent fit
  • The handwritten number on the midsole salutes the wear-testers who put these shoes through our rigorous test process to give you the best performance possible
  • Reduced weight on the inside of the foot to give you a more stable ride

In-Shoe Comfort:

  • A full-length carbon fiber Flyplate provides a propulsive, racing feel
  • ZoomX foam runs heel to toe to give you a springy, bouncy feel

Durability & Traction:

  • Waffle outsole pattern with perforations saves weight and delivers multi-surface traction in various weather conditions

Additional Details:

  • Heel-to-toe drop: 6 mm
  • Brand : Nike
  • Country of Origin : Imported
  • Web ID: 25NIKMVPRFLY4SLBLRNN

I use these shoes as an MS runner for track. These helped me drop my time, as a 7th grader, to 5:01.

Good Marathon Shoes

Bought these for my bf, he has run 3 marathons in them. He likes the way they feel and says they are comfortable for the whole 26.2 miles.

No use

Soles on both shoes fell apart after a month of very light use. Then, styrofoam sole literally broke completely off one shoe. I’m so disappointed, Love the shoes but hate the quality. Never buying Nike again!!!

Poor Quality; Sole Broke Within A Month Of Use

The sole of the shoe broke within a month of wearing it

Bad Durability, Even Worse Complaints Service

After 4 runs in total 72km the shoes fell apart. As a first impression was great durability very bad. Also complaints service very poor leaving me without racing shoes 3 weeks before marathon.

Love The Shoe, Hate That Adhesive

I love these shoes so much, and I hate the fact that they start falling apart after about a week of running. The bottom soul starts to unglue. I’ve started realizing that Nike has had a problem with their soul and cushioning starting to squeak or unglue from the shoe and I wish they went back to their other adhesive

Very Nice And Fast Shoes!

I bought these a few weeks ago and I really like them. They have a very bouncy feel and my feet do not get hot at all! I do want to point out that after you run a few miles the bottom of the shoe might have a few scratches on the foam but this isn’t something to worry about. Overall a very fun experience and can’t wait to see the next version

Great Weight And Comfort

Very lightweight for track and my son loves them! Would buy again

Seam Caused Severe Blister On Long Run

I’ve been a loyal Nike runner for years, but the Vaporfly 3 has been a real disappointment for me. On a recent longish run, I developed a pretty severe blister on the arch/inner side of my foot, something I’ve never experienced before. The irritation was bad enough to affect my stride and cut the run short. Looking at the shoe afterward, it seems like the upper and/or internal structure creates a pressure point in that exact area. Note the seam placement.... what is that? how does it make sense? For a shoe at this price point, designed specifically for long-distance performance, this is a major issue. Comfort and reliability over longer mileage should be a given, not a gamble. I really wanted to love this shoe the ride feels fast but the fit and upper construction just didn’t hold up for me. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t trust it for longer runs or races again.

Better Than I Expected!

Never been a fan of Nike running shoes. These were on sale and I was looking for a 5k-10k racer. Took a chance because of the sale price. I was pleasantly surprised that they fit my slightly wider than average foot well. The weight and energy return with each step make running at fast paced a breeze.
