Anyone have any insight to how many miles or uses these shoes have? I know many say “don’t race with over 100 miles in your vaporflys” (not looking to debate this point).

I just saw the shoes might be one time use? Sounds like a fake claim but what’s the life we are looking at?


I’m not 100% sure of the internal composition of the sole yet but the upper is literally paper thin and the liquid polymer outer face of the sole is not very hard wearing. Even if the rubber components keep their energy return response for a while, I can’t see the construction being able to last long. As a result, I don’t think the ‘one and done’ description is that wide of the mark.
These make Nike Vaporfly’s look pretty agricultural in comparison.
