Advice for Road Runners: If you're chasing personal bests in races - such as 10Ks, half-marathons, and marathons - the Nike Women's Vaporfly 3 Road Racing Shoes are one of the best options.

Underfoot Feel

It's tricky to describe just how cushioned and propulsive the Nike Vaporfly 3 Road Racing Shoes' midsole feels.

When your goal is to move at maximum pace, the ZoomX foam and full-length carbon fibre plate work in tandem to propel you forward.

In contrast, when you're running longer and pacing your effort more cautiously, the midsole should keep your muscles feeling fresher for longer. It's also important to note how much comfort the cushioning offers for long distance runs, such as marathons.

The distinct midsole sculpting and heel bulge are not for aesthetic reasons. This specific shaping improves the stability of the midsole.

Upper Fit

The Nike Vaporfly 3 Road Racing Shoes' Flyknit upper feels incredibly light and breathable. As the toe box also feels very spacious, they should feel comfortable for long distance runs in warm conditions. 

An asymmetrical tongue design helps to reduce lace pressure. There's also internal heel pods that hold your ankle in place.

Ideal Run Type

Pace is all relative. If you're aiming to run faster than before in your next race, the Nike Women's Vaporfly 3 Road Racing Shoes are ready for your attempt. 

If you've seen runners training in Nike Vaporfly 3, they're likely getting used to them ahead of a race, or using them for a key weekly workout. A common piece of feedback from runners is that their legs feel fresher after hard workouts when they use models such as the Vaporfly.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
