Just a basic hash up of some sneakers I have been rotating :
AF - Just started running in these. Maybe 20 miles so far. I think they are still breaking in but I think I can see the beauty in them on long runs. I think they are kinda heavy but I guess that's the trade off for cushioning. The cushion was definitely noticed on around mile 8 in comparison to the Vapor Flys. I didn't have that worn down feeling after I finished my long run. I would love this tech in a casual shoe. I had the zoom road warrior but that shoe was like wearing tanks so I sold them to a family member.
VF Next% - These almost felt like a cheat code the first time I wore them. I think these are perfectly light but the more I wore them the more I started having issues with my calves. I think these are perfect for around 5-7 mile runs. After that I think the lack of cushion becomes more noticeable. With that said these are still well cushioned and I am elaborating on the nuance for the people interested. I don't know a lot about tech so this is just a theory : I think the CF plate that causes the forward motion in the sneaker is also a calve irritant for me. If you're a go at your own pace runner, this forward motion can stress some of the fast twitch muscles that are likely to be undeveloped in a slow paced runner. I say this because when I ran a sub 6:30 mile I didn't have any issues with the sneaker but when I ran in them at 8:00/mi and above they were borderline uncomfortable.
Invincible - These are my bread and butter. These were the first sneakers I decided I was going to become a committed runner in. I have gone through a pair and I am on my second. My running has improved drastically which is why I see the value and use of lighter sneakers for race day, but for day to day these are my babies. When I first started running I didn't expect my time to improve dramatically so I was looking for a slow well cushioned shoe I could find my footing in. I started out at 11:00 miles and working myself down to 6:30 miles wearing these. While these are definitely heavier, I have noticed I find my stride better in these then the others. My foot feels more 1:1 in these as well. My biggest complaint has been the quality control. I've returned a paid for the soles separating as have been shown in here.
I will probably work this trio for at least the next year
Size same as Vaporfly?I wore these in Boston yesterday. The combination of all the downhills and my forefoot foot strike put my toes too forward and caused some bad blisters.
I just got these from Nike last week. Would they accept them as a return under the 60 day policy? I now think the the VF Next are better for my foot strike.![]()
Very cool! I started out doing 10–11 minute miles last year and while I’m not down to anything under 7 with consistency, the journey resonated with me!
I’ve been a bit intimidated by “elite” shoes like the Alphafly and Vaporfly, though I do have a pair of Tempos I haven’t put any miles on yet (I had a mild injury right before I was about to put them into my most recent training plan). Maybe I should look at the Invincibles as well…

getting your pace down that much is super impressive. may i ask, what is your routine & how long did this take?
i just got into running in june, and before then my longest run ever was 6 miles. i now get an 8-11 mile run in weekly.
goal is to run Chicago next Oct. starting strength training tomorrow, will focus on that + 3-4 runs per week until spring.
Oh yea, strength training as well. I immediately noticed a time difference.
