@@ericpetersen8645 I genuinely want to read the study that you mentioned because from a logical standpoint, average runners do not possess the speed to fully activate the carbon plate. I would assume it performs best when a certain amount of force bends it (initial contact), causing it to rebound and the great rebounding force generated by the bent carbon plate should be even more effective in aiding lighter runners (the elites) in their midstance and swing phase (toe off), pushing them further forward than average runners. Also, average runners tend to land more on heel than the elites. Not that the elites don't land on their heels but when compared to average runners, the number of elites landing on fore and midfoot are higher than the average runners so it is a mix. The largest portion of the carbon plate is located at the toe area in most racing shoes, it is design with excellent running gait in mind (the elites'). If so, average runners with bad or not-as-good gait pretty much minimizes the intended purpose of the carbon plate since the carbon plate will not be activated fully or at all. The only reasons I can think of as in why these shoes make average runners faster are, the rocker design at the front of the shoe (which is present in many non-racing models and not mentioned in the video), the psychological effect, the light weight of the shoes and more foam which makes them softer thus reducing fatigue over longer distances, helping runners to maintain their speed for a longer time.

@@BugattianVeyronian For Heelstrikers, a carbon plate is in fact an additional resistance. Which is kind of obvious when you think about how a stiff sole is harder to walk on than a soft one. However, when you actually RUN, not jogg/walk, meaning landing on your forfoot, the plate will take some work off the calf muscle, achillis tendon and plantar fascia. You land on your forefoot and feel the stiff sole slowing down the heel on it's way to the ground - Which is naturally done by the calf muscle. Just when the foot is lifted again (assuming your pace is so fast that your heels barely/don't touch the ground), the carbon plate will straighten out again and release it's stored energy, propelling you up and forward. Go into a shop and just bounce in them like you were skipping a rope and you will feel that this actually works- you bounce more and use less energy and the impact felt in the foot is a lot softer as well, as the plate takes the beating.

A plate in the shoe isn't unique to Vaporflys, Nike previous marathon shoes, which I still own, Have a nylon plate which you can feel helping you when you are running very fast.

I much prefer the Saucony Endorphin Speed over this shoe. I have both but the Vaporfly has a much harder plate which makes you forefoot strike. And if you don't have really strong ankles and lower calves, it can wreck havoc on your feet. I had to start super low mileage and slowly add little bits of distance at a time. The Saucony shoe with the same pebax has a much less aggressive plate and I can still heel strike without any effort. The VF is a good shoe but it takes a lot of initial time to build up mileage for it. But in the end, if any shoe allows you to train more and recovery faster, I'm all for it.

Sorry if someone already mentioned this but that's not the Nike Waffle Trainer @1:07. That's the Nike Cortez, a classic favored by urban gang members to even today. The Waffle Trainers had blue nylon uppers with a bright yellow swoosh. The sole was white foam with a glued black contact tread with a pattern like a waffle (actually a waffle iron), hence the name.

Definitely a very quick shoe, but it doesn't work for everyone. Interestingly enough, while the Vaporfly 2 works very well for me, the Alphafly appears to irritate my knee to the point where I don't trust it, and took it out of my rotation.

What about the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% 2. Are they not better than the VaporFly?

Wait a minute … THE Mr Tejada, the one that had big influence on my music now influences my running 😅 … hell yeah

I agree. I am not a professional runner but the fastest runner among my squad. And we are all runner, cyclist and swimmers. I dont usually run but I every morning and do calisthenics in the afternoon. I noticed when I run with this shoes, it feels like my shoe or its sole is just sliding on the surface and I can create stable running position with maintained high speed. One thing I love about this shoes is it increases my vertical jump and so comfortable to wear.

You purchase vapourflys to do your callisthenics in? 🤣🤣. What a waste of money

I didn’t believe it at first either but I broke my 10km PB by over 2 mins on first outing in them then my 15km pb by almost 2 mins in second outing. Comfortably too.

Love it my next shoe fr 🤙🏼

The Carbon running shoes are much lighter than your typical running shoes; meaning you would run faster in those regardless of whether you think it's marketing hype or not & it definitely will not be a placebo effect either.

Actually the IAAF says it counts on their world athletics website

The one issue I have with the " these shoes are mechanical doping" analogy is that it creates a slippery slope.

Interesting! at least it was a couple years ago when this was actually news, I think I'm gonna get into journalism if it's ok to create videos/articles with no new info years after others do. seems like a pretty cruisy gig.

Why no mention of the Alphafly?

Great general overview for the non-running public, but this “news” is over 5 years old. These shoes have been for sale since 2017. Other shoe companies are selling their own versions.

I don't have it yet but I can already felt it

Are these shoes available on Amazon or Flipkart?

Ignores boost basically just a Nike ad

Randomly got this video, and here my thoughts on it, when everyone have foam that gives you back 50-65% of energy and someone have up to 85% it's cheating for me, allowed "loop hole" is not for me, it's like F1, you can be the best driver ever, but if your close opponents car making lap better - you will struggle to beat them.

I never knew there was a difference btwn running and walking shoes until I started walking 5 miles a day...in running shoes. Ouch. I now have walking shoes for the street and running shoes for my treadmill.
