    I think these shoes do have one issue: There are different sizes, but not different softness for different bodyweights. These shoes are designed for someone like Kipchoge with a bodyweight of 52kg!! - I myself am muscular and a foot taller, which makes me almost twice as heavy, and I also think Nicks BMI is way higher than Kipchoges, so of course they feel too squishy for him. There probably needs to be different stiffnesses for different athletes as well.

    Are you going to do any fan meet-ups or travel anywhere else in the country soon? Maybe Philly or East Coast?

    Nick what's your opinion on the implications of the Vaporflys aiding all the recent world records? I mean, what does it even mean to run a world record today seeing as you can't compare it to 5 years ago? Wouldn't it have been nice to see whether Kipchoge could have beaten Kimetto's time off of his own steam? The fact that he needed the most recent advanced version of the shoe and couldn't do it with previous performance enhancing versions argues against that. Sadly, we will never know for sure. Thanks Nike.

      @@diskoeric2248 The female and male half and full marathon world records, all of which beaten by astonishing margins, are in the Vaporfly. And it will stay that way for the foreseeable future, until some of the other shoe companies can compete. It's cheating plain and simple, Nike even admitted it by naming the shoe with the percent advantage it would give the runner.

    What is a stable shoe that won't roll your ankles but still responsive and maintaining enough cushion for a comfort run? (Plantar fasciitis)
