Worn down Vaporfly as ideal racing flat for 5k?

Or you could just buy the streakfly, a shoe designed for 5k/10k road races

Isn't a beaten down Vaporfly designed for 5 & 10k road races? Albeit unintentionally.

It is people like you who won't recycle who are causing the urban heat island effect - fair?

Yes, or just get the Gorun Speed Elite Hyper.

On pairs I’ve taken over 900ks, I don’t think ZoomX breaks down evenly. I kind of feel like the drop increases if you’re a forefoot striker as the foam compacts at the front while still having a thick, soft heel so I tended to use them for longer slower runs at the tail end and rotated in a new pair for speed work.

I asked you to be expansive in your answer. So you are saying you use worn down Vaporfly for 5/10k races.

They don't wear down evenly and in fact the soles start falling apart. Use at your own risk.

Show me where you said "be expansive."

I have the StreakFly and the Next% . My choice for the 5k would still be the next percent .

I think the Streakfly will be a one and done .

I bet they keep it around as a training flat for college teams/pros, similiar to how the spike flat was only available to certain teams in the US for a while

I haven’t been able to get a pair, but I did get some Takumi Sen 8’s. It’s funny that they are being sold as a 5/10k shoe while almost having as much stack height as Vaporflys.

I always liked streak LT’s for the gym. CrossFit bros like get the metcons and no bulls which all are just old school flat mid soles.

Its designed for athletes who run marathons at a pace faster than your mile PR. Trust me, they can handle a 5k just fine.
