They aren't banned and it's silly to say they're frowned up. Most of the fastest runners wear vaporfly or alphafly (or another super shoe). Go look at the photos for the top runners, at any of the most recent majors (London, Chicago, Berlin). At this price, they're basically the same price as a trainer. Some people are critical of the shoe and those who wear them, but everyone is going to have an opinion about something. Who cares?

I personally haven't used the alphafly, but have lots of experience with the vaporfly.
I just went for a run in brand new alphafly's from the nike deal and broke every single one of my PR's from 1/2 mile all the way to 10k in one run lol… these running shoes are LOUD on the street for sure, every step you take is very pronounced.

Also definitely very very cushy but durability will definitely be short

At this price though, I'd buy another pair if dicks had my damn size! Would not pay full price for these ever.
Thanks!

Was lazy on pulling the trigger on the Nike store deal. Good thing I waited. Have ZoomX shoes currently. Dicks has some colors for $125 before coupon.

Not banned. Source- someone who runs marathon every year. You see more and more shoe companies copying the Nike vapor fly design. They are awesome shoes. There's a reason so many people wear them.

Quote from TangoBrother :
Note that these are not regular shoes. I tried them at the store and they were uncomfortable for walking. I loved the fitting and cushion. However, the sole has a curve that made it some what uncomfortable to stand.

These shoes definitely aren't something you want to wear for daily use. They're intended for long distance runs. The sole will wear out quickly because it's this springy foam that isn't durable. Also there is a carbon fiber plate that gives it some rigidity. It's not intended for a shoe I would wear daily use. It's a shoe for racing.

Quote from Scubasteve03 :
I know these are very specific type of running shoes and are mostly for long distance work. Would you recommend them for normal running and training on a treadmill and daily use? I love the look on them, but it doesn't seem like they would work well for my use. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks OP!

These shoes are meant for racing. I've run all of my races from 5k to 10k in these for the past 6 months. I made the mistake of running in these the first time on a long slow run where I heel strike more and they were uncomfortable. I even consider getting rid of them until I was told they're meant for running fast on your mid foot and toes. My first 5k race I loved them. They're light, supportive and give plenty of energy return. I wouldn't recommend them on any long slow training runs. I'm not too fast either, I'm a 45 year old 23 min 5k runner. I would recommend them anywhere below 9 min miles on a tempo run, interval workout, or race.

Not at all. Have you watched any marathon runners in the past 5 years? Everyone is wearing carbon plated shoes. However, I would say it is unfair to compare record times in modern shoes to a runner 50 years ago.

I took a chance and bought a pair. I once tried once of these high-platform-type shoes and thought it was weird. Any suggestions the best way to break them in, or merely just take them on the long run? I definitely need to test them before a half or full marathon. I got the extra 20.00 off based on the earlier post on the text code.

Are these a good winter sneaker for a 12 yo boy? Will they hold up to rain snow?

No. These are specifically for road running and is a race shoe. It's not durable and definitely not good for a 12 yr old that doesn't have muscle development
