The new Vaporfly looks like it would work but you can't get it anywhere. Any suggestions?

Go to ebay. Plenty of Vaporflys on there.

Runningwarehouse.com let's you filter by stack height, offset, weight, probation control, brand, and more...punch in what you like about your trainers or what you're looking for and see what comes up.

Big Zoom Fly fan. Size up 1

Nike Speed Rival 6.

Nike Zoom Elite 6. I just ran a marathon in them and couldn't have been more happy with that choice. I have both the Streak and Elite models so I know what your athlete is saying--I wouldn't feel comfortable running a longer distance with the Streak either.

The Elite is basically a beefed up Streak or a slimmed down Pegasus. Incredibly light and forgiving over long distances.

I'm going to quote Lydiard here and say she should race in the same shoe she trains in, so she should use whatever Nike shoe she's using regularly.

I agree with the Zoom Elite. I’ll be running my fall marathon in these and have used them for all my quality training through the summer.

JUST BE SURE TO DOUBLE-KNOT. The laces are a little weird.

Zoom Speed Rival 6 is the answer.

I really like the Streak 6 for the marathon. The 4% is probably better but I haven't tried them yet.

Try to get some Nike Lunaracers. Those were the go-to shoes for a lot of women before they were discontinued.

Speed Rival 6 definitely. More protective than tge Streak, more of a racer than Zoom Elite.

But for a supportive and comfortable racing flat, the Mizuno Wave Hitogami can't be beaten. If your runner is open to other brands, that could be a great fit for her. I like training in the Pegasus, and I find the fit of Mizuno shoes suits me well too.

I like my lunaracer 3. I think i paid about $45 for a new pair on ebay. Though, ive looked and haven't been able to find a pair that cheap since

Simple, don't wear Nike, knucklehead. Their website sucks and their shoes suck. The company is vile. Why eat $hit, or run in it? Because you "can"?

Nike Zoom Elite 6 is a 4 year old model. He will have to look for them on ebay.

My bad, I meant the Zoom Elite 9.

Better to eat it than having it between your ears.
