Of course, there’s no one shoe for easy miles, but these are some of the most comfortable running shoes Nike has ever made. Read our full Nike Vaporfly Next% 2 review. They are by no means cheap, but if you can afford them, you won’t regret it. If you’re looking for a shoe that looks and feels fast, and that’ll give you that extra confidence to run a PB, this is it. They also made the shoe cheaper, which is music to our ears. They’ve also added reinforcement in high wear areas to provide extra durability. The main tweaks Nike made between version one and two were in the upper - the Vaporweave material is gone and it’s been replaced with a breathable engineered mesh, which doesn’t bunch up. The shoe feels fast, it’s incredibly lightweight and fits true to size. The shoe still contains the brand’s ZoomX foam - the lightest and most responsive midsole Nike makes, plus there’s a full-length carbon-fibre plate which helps for a faster toe-off.

Nike didn’t change much in the Vaporfly Next% 2. The Vaporfly Next% 2 is the third iteration of the shoe, and it’s become one of the most popular marathon running shoes on the market. From the moment Nike launched its Vaporfly 4% running shoes in 2016, with the claim they would help runners run 4% faster, pretty much every shoe brand out there has experimented with carbon fibre plates.
