Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I wouldn't normally link to LR, but mildly interesting aside in their listing of the top marathoners last year - 5th on their list is an Adidas sponsored runner, i.e. the highest placed individual not to be running in (or at least having access to) the Vaporflys.

I wonder if marathon results will start needing to include the shoe type in brackets next to the runner name ;-) ?

Do any of you VF owners have wide feet? I’ve never ran in Nike, but have read through the pages and I’m now intrigued! But I have quite wide feet. I also overpronate. Thanks in advance.

On the wide side which is probably why I always stick to size 11. Plenty of lateral give in the upper.

I always used to think of myself as 10.5 but have basically given up trying them. Actually EU 46 is what I look for first, less chance of confusing US/UK that way :-)

Got the VFs out for a threshold session tonight, needed a bit of a confidence boost for this session as my last few threshold attempts have failed miserably. Boy did they deliver !!! I love these shoes !
