I think anyone wearing the Vaporflys is funny. It’s something we are going to look back on and laugh. They are incredibly silly looking and the hype around them is really a blemish on the dignity of the sport.
The guys at the front are putting up some amazing times and they would look great in bunny slippers if that’s the fashion. It just becomes more apparent how silly the whole thing is when you see them on slower runners.
They are big, ugly, brightly coloured clown shoes which are supposed to make you run faster using special foam and hidden springs. That is very funny.
Not saying I wouldn’t wear them. It’s fun to dress up like a pro and play runner. It’s theatre, and the elites really enjoy it too.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying the time in which you live, but you are also not wrong to be amused by it.
