I know that the Vaporflys are primarily marketed as marathon shoes, but I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on whether they'd be useful in Calc 2? I am really struggling with my integrations, and I could use any help I could get.

NO! They will increase all of your answers by 4%, so then you'll be wrong. -

This is nothing new...

it's not the shoe, it's the person wearing it. i wore Kayanos during my in Calc 2 and my exam grades were around 75-83% throughout the semester, but i decided to wear Matumbos to the finals hoping that it would give me a boost and i ended up scoring 88% which was obviously a bump in my grade, but not a complete outliar. i can't confirm or deny that the shoe makes a difference, i'm just stating my experience with it

I wore Waffles thinking they would impress the cute girl next to me. Then she dated the quarterback. So, no, they won't help.

It’s okay. I have a big problem with integration in school, too! -
I wore Nike Sock Racers to physics class once.

It's all about friction, man! If it weren't for friction, none of us would be here! -

You would have been on track for an A- halfway through and then the cushioning crapped out on you. -
I alternated between Skechers and Hokas in my biology class. I got a C.

Based on the stupidity of your question, you may as well wear real clown shoes.

I know you posted this as a joke, but I used to teach calculus so I'll give you some real advice.
(1) Take the tangents. I know it sounds obvious to use the line defined by the equation y-f(a) = f'(a)(x - a), but you'd be surprised how many students don't do this.
(2) Do not neglect interval training. A good early season workout is something like 5 x finding the maximum value of a continuous function on the interval [a, b]. For a more advanced interval session, try bounding the error of Taylor polynomials of analytic functions on intervals of radius r.
(3) Get plenty of sleep.
