Critics' Consensus

“The Nike Vaporfly 4 excels as a lightweight, responsive racing shoe for distances from 5K to half-marathon, offering great energy return and a snappy ride. However, its reduced stack height and poor stability make it less forgiving and harsh for longer distances or heel strikers.”
