Which is sad because we don't know the long term effects yet. Wonder what the stats will eventually look like on the possible increase in Achilles or ankle issues? I just remember a quote of the day on here where a bio-mechanics person said something along the lines that eventually the chickens will come home to roost. It would be interesting to know if Rupp actually thought it was worth it since his surgery.
Have been running in 4% all my training runs since July.
Consistently 55-60 mpw. Have accumulated about 1400 miles on my training Vaporfly pair now.
No issues with ankles/Achilles now. Actually it's the opposite. I was able to train through my injured foot when in other shoes I wasn't able to ran at all.

This is the most important issue with the new shoes. Do they promote better running with less injury, better enjoyment,
AND are your supplements, do they make you more healthy and enjoy your sport or exercise lifestyle better??
These are the issues.
NOT
the older generation sees that new shoes are making a mockery of their PRs.
like a 28 min 10k is trivial.
and the 210 marathon is trivial.
too bad.
for your egos, set the old shoes WR before year 200x, and
the records now are with the new shoes.
by the way, the new shoes may allow africans to run closer to their natural foot strike, while the older shoes could have caused braking.
which means the old crap shoes impeded the sport and running and in some cases caused injury.
there you go you crybaby geezer butt-hurt egotists.
