Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4%

 The Vaporfly 4% is the hard-to-get, expensive, much lighter brother of the Zoom Fly. Is this shoe better than the Zoom Fly? Nope.

Nike Zoom Fly

 Why is this shoe fast for me? I can only say that it works, but not for certain why it works.

Saucony Freedom ISO

 Saucony built, probably unintentionally, a near-perfect triathlon shoe for neutral runners. Add heel and and tongue loops and you’re there.
