RW has some more Proto in women’s sizes if anyone is still looking. Might need to be on their mailing list to access.
Sold out,did u see any 11.5W?
 
Did a recovery 4-miler last evening.

As I suspected, the wear/tear on the heel has gotten worse. This is after over 10mi (10K tempo, 4mi easy).

From the VAST majority of my running shoes, most of the wear is on the forefoot lateral, ESP on the very right side of the shoe, and that’s where the wear shows up first for me.

Then after more mileage, the very right lateral heel gets the wear/breakdown. However, that’s after at least 50mi.

With Nike’s generous return policy, I returned them at a Nike Store with no questions.

Here’s my most worn VFN2 (~100mi)

Most of the wear/breakdown is on the far right lateral forefoot followed by the far lateral heel.

I saw your review saying that somewhere earlier(maybe IG?) that made me think I might still like a pair for casual wear but idk if this would be the race day shoe I want in my current form(restarting lol)

But I want a pair potentially for casual wear, I might go for a volt pair or a black pair since I struck out on protos if I do it, they seemed like a casual-friendly shoe…but I can get the Invincible 3s too
 
I have a $225 gift card to Nike. Trying to decide if I pick up the pink VF3 or grab two pairs of the VF2 on sale.

I have the sail/orange CW of the VF3 so I know they’re an upgrade but two pairs of the VF2 for a little more sounds too good to pass up.
 
I was lucky enough to get the proto colorway this past Friday at Runologie in Raleigh, NC...The pink arrived Thursday evening...I ran in the pink ones this morning since it had been raining here the past 2 days and they have fixed the issues I had with them...They feel much more comfortable to me than the VF2's...

Are you a forefoot/midfoot striker?
 
I took the 3 for a quick run. Never ran in a race shoe. They’re obviously light and bouncy, but my feet feel like they’re hitting the ground so hard. What am I doing wrong?
