While looks aren't the most important thing for performance shoes, I do think it is an important aspect for most, so it's good that these excel in that department.These are extremely lightweight shoes. I was definitely surprised by that when I got them in hand. At around 0.4 pounds, you will not feel them on your feet when you have them on which is exactly what you out of a running shoe. The upper consists of a very thin flyknit, which is both a pro and a con, and all the rest of the weight is in the mid/out sole.Speaking out the midsole, ZoomX is probably the most comfortable cushioning I've ever had in a shoe. The step-in comfort is immediate; the moment you put these on, you can tell this is something different. This is my first experience when wearing a shoe with ZoomX and I now know that I have been missing out.Running in these have been such a great experience. You bounce in these when running so every step springs for forward making the runs I had in them seem easier. I was nervous at first because I did have room calf fatigue the next day after going on my first run with them on, but I think that was just a issue with my training as subsequent runs left me with no issues.I haven't really gotten the chance to test these with a very fast pace as my runs are around a 8:30 pace per mile, so I look forward to seeing how these perform when I really start to increase my tempo and distance in the coming months.I'll end this some a more things I liked and some concerns I have about these long term. The cushion inside the heel of the upper leads to there being no heel slippage while wearing these and added comfort. The wide forefoot helps with the stability so you won't feel wobbly while running. I mentioned that the flyknit upper was both a pro and con; were it helps greatly reduce the weight, I'm worried about the durability of it. It also will not be good with in winter months as your feet will be cold when wearing these. I'm also concerned about the durability of the outsole as there's there isn't much rubber on the shoe so I can see the ZoomX wearing down quickly. I will have to keep an eye on this. The shoelaces becoming undone were also a bit of an issue for me. Single knots become undone all the time and you have to tie these very tight in order to double knot, leading me to worry about how uncomfortable my forefoot and ankle would be in them. It turned out to be not that much of a problem for me, but this is something to keep in mind.Overall these are a very good and I will be putting as many miles as I can in them. If they are in your budget, don't hesitate to pick them up.

This is a dedicated road running shoe, and it performs excellent in that area. I wouldn't really change anything about it for it's dedicated purpose, it does take just a bit of balancing to stand still and firm as the cushioning is designed to absorb impacts and roll forward with your stride. Definitely not a knock as it's not really intended to be an all day wear or gym work out shoe.Definitely stepping the game up in the higher end running shoes.

That being said the break in period is hardly noticeable, the shoes just cater more to your stride after just a bit of use. The laces are ribbed and hold together nicely, I have not had any problems with the lacing system which adjusts nicely. The tongue is interestingly shaped, take care to align it well before tying down the laces, as they will hold “until the cows come home”. These shoes are legitimately amazing and worth the price if you want some extra bounce on impact. The grip on the outsoles really grab the pavement and sidewalk and provide plenty of traction for the ZoomX Vaporfly Next %3. I highly recommend this innovative piece of Nike technology!

Great for the Serious Runner

Designed to push the limits of speed and endurance, this shoe offers a remarkable combination of lightweight construction, a narrow sole, and exceptional breathability.One of the standout features of the Nike 200mx Vaporfly Next%3 is its ultra-lightweight design. The shoe feels like a feather on your feet, allowing for an effortless stride and enhanced agility.

The shoe feels like a feather on your feet, allowing for an effortless stride and enhanced agility. This characteristic alone sets it apart from many other running shoes on the market, making it ideal for runners who prioritize speed and efficiency.However, it is worth mentioning that the narrow sole on the heel might raise concerns for runners accustomed to a wider strike base. While this design aspect helps to promote a more forward-leaning running position, providing a feeling of propulsion, it may take some getting used to. Runners who rely heavily on a wider base might find it necessary to adjust their running style initially. Once adapted, however, the narrow sole contributes to the overall responsiveness and speed of the shoe.Another notable aspect of the Vaporfly Next%3 is its superb breathability. The upper mesh material allows for excellent airflow, preventing overheating and discomfort during long-distance runs. Your feet stay cool and dry, minimizing the risk of blisters and providing an added level of comfort during intense training sessions or races.In terms of performance, the Nike 200mx Vaporfly Next%3 truly excels. It is a shoe that is undoubtedly geared towards competitive runners and those with long-term running goals. The combination of its lightweight construction, responsive sole, and innovative design features helps propel runners forward with every stride, maximizing speed and efficiency. Whether you're training for a marathon or aiming for a new personal best, this shoe provides the tools you need to achieve your goals.While the Nike 200mx Vaporfly Next%3 is an exceptional running shoe, it falls just short of a perfect rating due to the adjustment period required for runners used to a wider strike base. However, once familiar with the shoe's unique design, the benefits it offers far outweigh this initial concern.In conclusion, I highly recommend the Nike 200mx Vaporfly Next%3 running shoe to competitive runners and long-term enthusiasts seeking to enhance their performance. Its ultra-lightweight nature, narrow sole, and superior breathability make it a worthy investment. With this shoe on your feet, you'll be well-equipped to conquer your running goals and achieve new personal records.

My daughter is an avid runner. She has been dealing with a foot injury for months, and was recently released from her boot/cast. We have been searching for a comfortable shoe with plenty of cushion for the ball of her foot. The second she put these shoes on, she said she felt like she could go run miles! She had a bounce to her step (literally) because the shoe is so lightweight. She loved how it almost felt like she wasn’t wearing a shoe at all!She got so many compliments when she wore them out and about for the first time. They’re such a clean, sharp design. The fit was just right - she typically wears an 8, and the 8 fit like a glove.

She wears them when she knows she will be active and on her feet a lot.I don’t know that this is necessarily a downside - but just to be noted. The reason the shoe is so lightweight, is because there are “holes” in the shoe. These are meant to be there- for air flow and such. But unfortunately these shoes are not going to be worn in wet weather - and we also figured out they’re not the best for dirt/dust areas. My daughter wore the shoes to her brothers baseball game. She did not go on the field, but ran around in the grass with friends for hours. We got home, and her white socks were stained with dirt. I think with how airy/holey the shoes are, they’re not ideal for outside time. She also has to make sure she wears all white socks, because the shoe is so see through. Not necessarily a negative, just sometimes to be aware of before purchasing the shoe!This is the perfect running shoe- which is what the shoe is designed for. My daughter just loved the shoe so much overall, that she wanted to wear them constantly. We have learned that the shoe isn’t for every day wear, and for more specifically sports. Overall, they’re currently her favorite shoe and the one she wants to wear regularly! As soon as she’s released to run again by her doctor, these will be the shoe she picks up first!

I can definitely feel the energy return and it showed in the performance. My mile times came in faster than the effort felt. They are so light that you hardly feel any weight, as if your feet are just sitting on top of cushions. They keep you on your toes literally so that might be an adjustment for many runners.The Vaporfly may not be the best for runners who need a lot of stability support due their pronation. The large amount of cushioning and lightweight upper really lower the bar for stability. I am used to very supportive shoes and I could definitely feel the difference on longer runs. I would prefer a more secure lock around the heel. And as mentioned before, you may have to make foot-strike adjustments since these are prone to keep you on your toes. I would definitely recommend lacing as tight as possible.I can't wait to use these in a race one day. These are not long term training shoes since the lightness undermines durability but that is intended. I will continue to train in my more supportive, everyday runners and break these out on event day.

I planned on using these as a running shoe only, but after wearing them a few times I found myself putting them on to do everything. They are super light weight and breathable. They have the fly plate in them like my Alphaflys, but it’s in the middle more so I don’t notice the push forward as much with each step. They are great on the road or track, but similar to the alphafly I have pull rocks out of the small crevice on the sole. The mesh on the top is so minimal which lends to it being light weight and comfy, but I would definitely not wear these if I know it’s going to be wet outside. The color has held up really well, but I haven’t had to wash or clean them off yet. I have worn them in the gym a few times as well and they were fine, good traction, no issues ...

I have worn them in the gym a few times as well and they were fine, good traction, no issues with rolling on my ankles with lateral movements. The sole is thicker so it gives you an inch or so which you definitely notice when you put them on, but after a few minutes that sensation goes away. Overall it is such a comfortable shoe and really comparable to the Alphafly, just not as springy. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I absolutely love these shoes! I'm a pretty big runner (90 mpw, bunch of marathons/smaller races) and have tried racing in all sorts of different shoes--like the Vaporfly 2s, both Alphaflys, etc. etc. But these shoes are incredible--I PRed by 20 seconds/mile in a recent 5k compared to the Alphaflys. You can read everything else below, but I think that's the biggest endorsement I can give them tbh.I'm convinced that these are the best, fastest shoes for anything like a half marathon or less on the market. They're so incredibly light (and by the way, I love the weight breakdown on the soles--see pictures.) They feel super fast and running at high speeds doesn't even feel hard--I was running at 5:20/mile out of shape and honestly my legs didn't really feel a ... MoreI absolutely love these shoes!

The upper is extremely light but also super solid--never any risk of anything tearing or falling out of place. I love the ridged laces but found that using the extra eyelet made them even more secure for me.And the actual running experience is incredible--these shoes are incredibly bouncy without being imposing. They let you run light and free while giving you propulsion when you need it. I think my form actually improved and I landed a bit more forward on my foot while racing in them. Would highly recommend for anyone running a mile race, a 5k, 10k, or a half. They might even become my favorite marathon shoe, but I haven't tested them on that distance yet!I liked them so much I ordered my brother a pair immediately.

The Nike 200mx Vaporfly Next%3 is easily the best running shoe I have used to date. Having a narrow foot with a normal arch, I was able to adapt easily to the extra room in the forefoot compared to past iterations of this model. The ZoomX foam feels a lot more squishy than previous models but does not lack the pop or response in combination to the flyplate. Toeing off in this shoe feels very natural when propelling forward. No matter if it’s track workouts, short runs, or long runs this shoe fulfills all my needs to perform at a high level. The engineered flyknit is as breathable as it has ever been and does not retain water on the wet runs at all. That said, this shoe is extremely comfortable to wear but I would not recommend wearing it for casual or all day use. ...

The design allows for more casual look than past models but do not be confused, this is a performance shoe through and through. If I could change anything about this shoe is to widen the forefoot to heel of the sole. There were times it could feel a bit unstable if worn for longer periods of time off the trails and track. Those were very far and between but noticeable. Lastly, I really loved the color of this shoe. Not only did the shoe itself make me feel fast but so does the silver and white colorway! Not to mention that Nike Swoosh designed onto the outsole, very very cool! Thank you Nike for the opportunity to wear test and review the Nike 200mx Vaporfly Next%3! Happy racing!
