    Whats underneath the newest Nike Vaporfly running shoe for 2022? Check them out for yourself with this deep dive performance review and run test, teardown and durability test. As a foot doctor I look at running shoes and running shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the running shoe's functional attributes
    Some of the main areas we cover in this running shoe on foot test, and performance review of the adidas Nike Vaporfly NEXT% 2
    - The weight, durability, fit and playability
    - What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
    - Nike running shoe technology explained

    Hey,
    Thanks for the videos.
    Iv been using barefoot minimalist shoes for prettymuch everything for the last 6-7 years.
    I recently got exited of tennis and have been playing with my no profile 4 mm sole shoes on all courts. Unlike other sports i find my heel and ball of the foot a bit sore after playing on a harder court. Propably due to my technique also, but Im thinking of adding a extra flatinsole to help cushion the hard court games.
    Do you know of a zero profile slightly cushioned widetoebox shoe for tennis?
    Thanks in advance, and all the best to you. Greeting from Finland

      Thanks,
      All the best

    Got 2 pairs of VPs and a pair of AF, got all my PBs in these. Could keep a 5min/mile pace consistently without my legs feeling fatigued unlike the other running shoes I've owned. I don't feel going faster but definitely longer if that makes sense. My only compliant is that the AF's sole is already ripping apart after 4 uses.

      ​@@Thekingofbutter12 yes they are for mid/forefoot strikers like Eliot Kipchoge. Ran 600 mile on my first pair until an air unit popped. Some lighter people run over 1000 mile on them.
      V2 Alphafly is more for the masses. No longer an elite running shoe. It carries the name but that's just to sell it. It's more forgiving to humpty dumpy style runners but also heavy and clunky.

Everything was fine, but after the first 5km pace of 4:00 per km the ankle on my right leg started to hurt and then I had to do something to do at least 10km. Left leg fine.

    @jonb9194 11 місяців тому

    Thanks for the cutaway view!!! I'm a lighter weight midfoot striker and I don't load the carbon plate much at all as I approach toe-off until the very end. The only wear I've gotten on the outsole is at the very end of the toes so far, and the "propulsion" I'm getting is just a minor flick right at the last bit of toe-off, which is doing next to nothing. To load the plate earlier, I'm planning to drill one or more small holes from side to side through the midsole above the plate, right under the closest eyelet to the front. The goal is to get my forefoot deeper into the shoe. Too much foam there for me.

      @@FootDoctorZach I'm starting with a single 1/8" hole, which will do almost nothing. The shoes were loading somewhat when I first got them, but I'm 5-6 pounds lighter now and getting closer to race weight. The lighter and better shape I get in, the less the propulsion from the plate, and the less I'm compressing the foam under the forefoot. It almost feels like I'm falling off the front of the shoe with my toes now.

I’ve seen videos for the alphafly saying that the shoe causes midfoot/arch pain because the ff to mf taper is very aggressive. VF fore to mid taper is not as aggressive but there is still a taper and not for semi-flat low arch feet.

    This shoe is not suitable for runners with a pronated gait.

    Me and my husband both have a pair. On both pairs the rubber is coming off of the foam sole. We love these shoes but haven’t ran that much in them for them to be falling apart.
