In short

Most runners call the Vaporfly NEXT% 2 very fast and light, best for races from the 5K to the half marathon.

Fast, breathable race shoe with strong energy return, but several got blisters or heel lift.

Very soft, bouncy racer with a super comfortable upper; wobbly at slow speeds or in corners.
