The WMNs “Rise” worn via IG
Other than the upper, the soles are identical as the Men’s version, correct?

I’m not really a fan of dark colored sneakers, but I couldn’t pass these preowned VF2s for $85+shipping. They have about ~160mi on them.

I thought they were only good for ~150 miles, but maybe that was the first pair??I’m not really a fan of dark colored sneakers, but I couldn’t pass these preowned VF2s for $85+shipping. They have about ~160mi on them.

I have almost 300mi on my first pair (Crimson/Ice Blue) cw, and they still feel great.

I don’t know why people started thinking they last for that few miles but I get more out of mine than that. First three pairs ive put 1500 miles on each, albeit not at a blistering pace. By then tho, they are absolutely trashed and the responsiveness has been compromised
Wmns?

Thanks! I think a lot of early reports on the VF4 v1 cited low mileage counts, which prevented me from keeping the pairs I previously tried. If I can get 500 miles out of a pair, I’m in. Just gotta wait for another 20% off code.

My Flyknit 4% started feeling flat around 160 mi. Took them out of rotation.

My experience was similar with the OG pair. They lost the bounce around 150 miles. Both my Flyknit pairs only have 50ish miles on them so can’t give feedback on them yet.
I tend to swap them out around 200 miles. My issue is that with higher mileage I can feel the foam start to bottom out near the balls of my feet during my long runs. They feel fine for the first 10-15 miles, but somewhere during miles 15-24 I start noticing it. And it's super noticeable when walking right after finishing. And it's not like I'm a heavy dude who is thrashing them either since I'm only 135lbs. Though, fwiw, I do tend to replace all my running shoes earlier than most. Figure it's not worth the risk of injury just for bragging rights about how many miles I've put on a shoe. That and I think a lot of shoes lose their ability to hold up for longer distances a lot sooner than traditionally advertised (though I do only run on pavement and concrete, so that also needs to be factored in). I took my peg 35s out of rotation prematurely (even for me) because I felt like the zoom in the forefoot wasn't doing it's job, but after a few months I randomly decided to wear them on a run with my gf and low and behold, they felt great. So I've actually been using them again whenever I run with her. But I know for sure my feet would kill if I tried to wear them again on a regular training run. At least until the 37 comes out I'm content to just stick with my VF, turbo, and epic rotation.

I feel exactly the same about the Peg 35s. I loved them at first but then the forefoot cushioning just started to feel punishing. I gave them chance after chance and regretted it a few miles into a run. I use them exclusively on the treadmill now, and they're great there.
I'm doing all of my tempo/speed/long runs in VFs now. Fartleks and easy runs in Turbos. And easy runs in New Balance Beacons - surprisingly a fun shoe to run in, even though they look clunky.

After running in the hoka carbon x two days ago and then switching to the 4% flyknit for today’s run......
I prefer the hoka ride —- lol
Granted, I did run on the beach in the 4% and also have over 200miles on them ha

Can you confirm the Hoka has a full rubber outsole and not the same sole as the 4%.After running in the hoka carbon x two days ago and then switching to the 4% flyknit for today’s run......

How many miles are on that pair of 4% out of curiosity?

Easily over 200.
All pavement runs with exception of a few beach runs.
Not worn casually at all.
