In short

Roomy, stable plated shoe for 5K to marathon, but many rate its energy return below the last.

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

Comfortable, stable racer with a roomy toe box and good heel hold; many notice the noise.
