vaporflys but just get the 3s
Anyone else? I have the vaporfly 3 but am considering the VF4 or the streakfly 2 for 5ks and occasional speed/track work. Mid 30s, haven't run in spikes since sprinter spikes in high school. Want something with a bit less stack that forces me to be a bit more on my forefoot.

Bump. Have the same question in mind and would love to hear people's thoughts
the vaporfly 4s are less aggressive than previous iterations (vaporfly 2 was most aggressive), but is quite a bit lighter, so it is more ambiguous for its optimal race distance than those iterations. Meanwhile, the streakfly 2 is very aggressive and even lighter than the vaporfly 4, and is much more ideal for fast 5k races and fast reps. the vaporfly 4s seem like they'll last longer though because the streakfly 2s will absolutely crumble in under 30 miles if you heelstrike a lot and the vaporflies have much more rubber in the forefoot to protect the foam. If you want to run faster, choose the streakfly, if you want to save your wallet, choose the vaporfly.
