This shoe was such an amazing product for running. I was blown away by how much this affected my daily runs. This shoe was such a lightweight shoe and when I put it on feet, it almost felt as if I hadn't even put on anything significant on my feet. The fit was nearly perfect and it fit just right, it was a bit tight at first but with the fully knit upper, there was a bit of stretching that was allowed by the shoe that after putting it on more and more times, it is almost as if it stretched enough to accommodate my feet almost perfectly (still a tad bit tight still after a few wears and runs but not to the point where it is unbearable to wear). The experience of running in these was something else. It was very soft on feet on every impact thanks to the Zoomx ... MoreThis shoe was such an amazing product for running. I was blown away by how much this affected my daily runs. This shoe was such a lightweight shoe and when I put it on feet, it almost felt as if I hadn't even put on anything significant on my feet. The fit was nearly perfect and it fit just right, it was a bit tight at first but with the fully knit upper, there was a bit of stretching that was allowed by the shoe that after putting it on more and more times, it is almost as if it stretched enough to accommodate my feet almost perfectly (still a tad bit tight still after a few wears and runs but not to the point where it is unbearable to wear). The experience of running in these was something else. It was very soft on feet on every impact thanks to the Zoomx cushioning system and the energy return was very good. This also may be a downside for some people as well as a softer/bit more plush cushioning system for running may not be ideal because they may want something a tad bit firmer. Another potential downside of this shoe is the sole of the shoe as well. There is only true rubber on the sole in the forefoot area and the rest is just molded and exposed cushioning. This is probably to save on weight and to make it as light as possible without sacrificing performance but this will definitely wear down over time, and probably a lot faster for heel strike runners. Design wise, I am a big fan of the silhouette and it looks great in my opinion, even the bolder/brighter colorways as well. The only thing I would probably change about the shoe is adding a bit more protection in the heel portion of the sole because that exposed foam cushioning has already shown signs of deteriorating and will probably be gone after more running is done. With that addition, I believe that that could help the shoe last longer. Overall, this is an amazing running shoe created by Nike and I would definitely add this to the rotation for both casual runners and maybe even serious runners as well.

Right out the box these Nike Zoom Vaporfly Next %3 were gorgeous. The color scheme of the white, sliver, and black were pristine and clean. I liked that the shoe laces had texture and ridges so that the its less likely to become untied when walking/running. The tongue of the shoe has a padded portion towards the medial side and is wide enough that it covers part of the foot so your foot wont rub against the shoe (preventing blisters). The vamp is slightly angled off to the side making it little more stylish and sophisticated. The shoe is made with a mesh-like material, making it very lightweight, quick to dry, breathable and easily cleaned. Though it does have open holes in the mesh which allows your sock to show through, you can still wear it with any color sock.

I like the thickness of the cushions placement on the waist of the shoe, it provides ankle comfort and support without it being too overbearing. The sole has good cushioning that feels bouncy and when walking/ running, it almost propels you forward due to the way the cushion tapers in thickness. (Personally love it because it makes it very comfortable and less effortful to walk). The back of the sole has that iconic Nike point (reminds of me spoilers on cars), which makes the shoes look even sportier.These shoes are versatile making great lifestyle shoes and functionally great running shoes. Perfect for the my lazy days where Im in atheleisure wear outfits. Totally would buy more in other colors. Overall great shoes.

Overall, this is a solid, comfortable running shoe with a unique and stylish design.THE FIT: Fits true to size and the mesh, breathable upper made for a comfortable, flexible fit around your foot.

The sole is a thick, taller (but very light) foam that rolls you toward the toe as you walk/run, giving you a sense of effortless forward movement. The whole shoe is incredibly light and the upper is flexible and breathable. Super comfortable and provides great cushion. There is a deep groove in the bottom that does collect rocks/gravel easily if you're running off paved roads, but otherwise I have no negatives on the design.THE AESTHETICS: The design is unique and stylish without being too over the top and looks nice for both running and running errands. The white was very clean, simple, and accented by the silver in the sole nicely. The asymmetrical laces had the pleasant effect of making my foot look slimmer and I got multiple compliments when wearing them.Ultimately, I really, really like this shoe. It's unique, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. I've worn them for running and for a full day chasing my toddler and infant around and never had any discomfort, sore feet, or issues with blistering, rubbing, or getting hot. Wasn’t sure I’d like the shape/design of the sole when trying on but actually ended up really liking it--if you're particular about shape or like a flat sole, though, this may not be the shoe for you.

I received this product as part of a product testing panel. The Nike Zoom Vaporfly Next%3 are undoubtedly one of the best running shoes I've ever strapped on my feet. From the moment I slipped my feet into these shoes, I felt like I was walking on clouds. They are super lightweight and since I’ve begun training with them, I’ve beat my average time by four seconds. They are also super comfortable. The Vaporfly Next%3’s cushioning felt amazing and gave me an extra spring in my step.The fit is good, and I like the added support the Vaporfly Next%3’s provide. They hug my arch and midfoot without feeling too tight, and the upper mesh is breathable and keeps my feet cool and dry on longer runs. I did find that the structure of the inner arch was a little hard to get use ... MoreI received this product as part of a product testing panel.

I did find that the structure of the inner arch was a little hard to get use to at first and my foot adapted faster to my current running shoes. So, although comfortable, these shoes take a bit of time to break in.I currently train on different terrain so comfort and stability are very important to me. One thing I particularly appreciate is the outsole's grip. Running on slippery surfaces has always made me nervous, but the Nike Zoom Vaporfly Next%3 durable rubber outsole offers excellent traction and stability, no matter the terrain.Overall, I've run several miles in the Nike Zoom Vaporfly Next%3, and I can confidently say that they are now my go-to running shoes and game-changers for me.
Recently purchased the Vaporfly 4 and I am very satisfied after two runs in them. I had no problem running a 5K and 10K in them within a few days of receiving. Eventually this will become my Raceday sneaker but I needed to break them in and see the comfort level in them. I have a very flat foot so this sneaker is perfect for me. Comparing them to the Vaporfly 2, this model is much lighter, and in my opinion more comfortable. I understand people's concern about longevity given the very thin material but I wouldn't say that is a reason not to purchase. Overall, very satisfied with the sneaker, material, and technology. Very excited to run my first half marathon in them next week!
At first sight, the design of these shoes might look a bit strange with the thickness of the sole and the pointiness of the heel in back. Don't let this fool you, these are just signs that they have some serious engineering that went into them! The white "flyknit" upper is an extremely breathable mesh which is great for keeping your feet cool, though not dry if it's it all wet outside. The shoes overall are incredibly light (size 11: 193g each) I found these run pretty true to size. I wear an 11 and have sized up to 12 in Nikes in the past but did not need to with these. With a thin sock they fit like a glove from day one with no break-in needed. The instep initially seemed high to my rather flat feet, but it isn't uncomfortable and seems to provides great ... MoreAt first sight, the design of these shoes might look a bit strange with the thickness of the sole and the pointiness of the heel in back.

Wearing them is actually kind of fun as the curve of the sole creates a rocking effect as your foot rolls thru the curvature. It makes you wanna go! You can also feel the effects of the carbon plate as they're way springier than any other shoe I've ever worn. I can't speak to the long term durability as I've only had these a couple weeks, but if you're looking for a lightweight, super comfortable shoe that's going to give you that extra motivation to get running, search no further!
This is exactly the combination of comfort and style that I have been searching for in a sneaker. I am a special education teacher and part of my job is walking in the community with my students daily. My feet used to hurt at the end of the day due to being on my feet so much, but not anymore since I’ve started wearing these shoes. They are supportive, cushioned, and extremely comfortable. My favorite parts are the heel cushioning (I tend to get blisters with new shoes but not with these!), the light padding on the tongue as it takes the pressure off the bone spurs on the top of my feet, and the wider toe box that accommodates my bunions. I’m ecstatic to have found a shoe that addresses all my foot needs while simultaneously having a modern and stylish look.While ... MoreThis is exactly the combination of comfort and style that I have been searching for in a sneaker.

I’m ecstatic to have found a shoe that addresses all my foot needs while simultaneously having a modern and stylish look.While not at work, I’ve worn them on jogs, and they really do have the feeling of springing you forward to assist with running. Additionally, I’ve worn them on a trail walk with my young children which was not on a paved surface. They were sturdy on uneven terrain, and the open knit design of the fabric kept my feet cool. Unfortunately, the fabric design does limit the weather conditions in which these sneakers can be worn, but their superior comfort level outweighs this inconvenience for me.
As a mom of two, my youngest being an infant, I have been on hunt to find the perfect shoe to began my postpartum journey. I often struggle to carve out time during the day to workout. When I was able to, I would suffer in pain post work out from an incorrect shoe fitting as a result of postpartum changes in my feet. Then I met the Nike Zoom Vaperfly Next 3. The perfect shoe does exist. This shoe fits true to size. The first thing I noticed is how incredibly light this shoe is. It feels like you are walking on a cloud. It appears as though chunks have been taken out of the heel to minimize weight of the shoe. At first, I was unsure of the structure of the tongue. There is a V-shaped area cut out (see picture).

There is a V-shaped area cut out (see picture). However, I grew to love this feature. It provided maximum comfort around the top of my foot and allowed for increased agility without pressure from the tongue. The shoe also utilized side lacing. If you are not a kin to side lacing, this may also take a bit to get used to. The heel provides maximum bounce that you will notice upon placing the shoe on your foot. The large holes in the material of the shoe allow for maximum breathability, particularly in warmer climate. One downfall I would like to know it is that the material of the shoe is not soft and feels stiff at first. I believe this can be improved upon in future models. What I love most about this shoe is that it is not only great for running, but is also comfortable enough to wear all day, with the added bonus of comfort while having a baby in tow!
These shoes are very light weight, the fabric is very thin and see through and the shoes feel comfortable. The padding inside the shoe (at the heels) is a bit thick and that bit is uncomfortable but I imagine with wear those pads would get less thick.At a quick glance the sneakers look like regular everyday sneakers. It is when you look closer that you notice the space age qualities to the shoes. The soles are very thick and on the outer side of each shoe there is a triangular cut out, whose purpose I don't know. The bottom of the sole also has a mini foot shape cutout, which you can't feel while wearing the sneakers, but makes me think these shoes aren't for trail running or this hole would get seriously mucked up. The sole on the back comes together to form a ... MoreThese shoes are very light weight, the fabric is very thin and see through and the shoes feel comfortable.

The sole on the back comes together to form a point. But the weirdest thing about this shoe is that instead of the laces coming up right up the center of the shoe, it veers off toward your pinky toe. While wearing the shoes, this slanted shoe lace thing made me feel odd about my feet.So here are the great things: 1) the shoe is very comfortable, except maybe 1/2 a size to little. 2) the shoe laces are ribbed so that the shoes stayed tied really easily. 3) the sneaker has really good traction. I accidentally wore them when it was snowing, despite my feet freezing (no fault of the shoe) I had amazing grip on slick side walks.
Wow. I absolutely love these shoes. Ran a mile on them indoors and they felt great, so I took them outdoors yesterday and it was the easiest, most comfortable 7 miles I’ve ever run. I comfortably ran about 20-30 seconds faster than my typical distance pace. I easily beat my PB for a 10k. In the past I’ve had some plantar fasciitis after long runs, but so far I have had zero pain. Even if these only last a couple hundred miles, they are worth every penny in my opinion. They fit snug around the mid foot but not too tight, I went with my typical size in running shoes (1/2 size up from my regular shoe size) and I had no issues with heel slippage or too much/too late space around the toes. They are extremely light weight and very bouncy. They feel a little less stable ... MoreWow. I absolutely love these shoes.

In the past I’ve had some plantar fasciitis after long runs, but so far I have had zero pain. Even if these only last a couple hundred miles, they are worth every penny in my opinion. They fit snug around the mid foot but not too tight, I went with my typical size in running shoes (1/2 size up from my regular shoe size) and I had no issues with heel slippage or too much/too late space around the toes. They are extremely light weight and very bouncy. They feel a little less stable than my other running shoes, but I ran on gravel roads, blacktop, and paved trails in them and all felt great. I highly recommend these, especially as race day shoes!
