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!

Nice pb there brunski, cracking effort!

I found the same after my half. They definitely look after the legs but calfโ€™s were sore for a couple of days.

Just been planning which runs Iโ€™m going to use mine in on the run up to London so the legs are more familiar with them

Thanks Gus!! I had the 25% off for birthday email and was back and forth as to order a second pair or not, getting the 15% cash back as well made up my mind :)

I raced in my stashed away original 'Obsidian' pair today. Another mini PB but I think I prefer the fit of the FlyKnit.

Great run Brunski. Love that opening mile!!

Yeah WW, the VFs certainly worked for the first mile (or 4). Thought I was going to stroll to a 74 until I realised that 9 miles was still a pretty long way to go ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I'm in ...



I plan to try them for fit on the treadmill tonight, but they won't get a proper road testing until my next tarmac parkrun the weekend after next. The roads round here are in a mess with the weather we've been having and I've got to dig lumps of gravel and thorns out of my trainers after almost every run.

Pressure's on vrap, seems that everyone that runs in these gets a decent pb ( or age pb at least ) first time out ;-)

Velociraptor i'd like to know what your thought are on the VFs with a treadmill. i've always thought they were too cushioned for use on a treadmill. Adizeros are perfect treadmill shoes in my opinion.

I'm unlikely to stay on the treadmill long enough to form much of an opinion, SKR. My calves don't like it irrespective of what I wear. It really is just to make sure the Vaporflys fit me and are compatible with my lucky racing socks.

Gus, age PBs are guaranteed because I go into a new age category in two days' time :)

Every tready I've ever run on is bouncy enough I don't think the shoes would bring much benefit though of course it is valid to test fit and feel.
