Nike | Women’s Vaporfly 3 Road Racing Shoes – Volt

Advice for Road Runners: Searching for light and fast Nike running shoes? The Nike Women’s Vaporfly 3 Road Racing Shoes should meet your criteria. 

We expect to see the Volt/Black-Scream Green-Barely Volt colourway on the top of a lot of podiums.

Underfoot Feel

The Nike Vaporfly 3 Road Racing Shoes feel ultra propulsive during short bouts of high intensity efforts. And protective and efficient during prolonged steady runs. This is a result of the marriage between soft and bouncy ZoomX foam and a full-length carbon fibre plate. 

As support is still an important component of race day running shoes, the Vaporfly 3 midsole is structured accordingly. Midsole sculpting and a heel bulge should make the cushioning feel stable underfoot.

Even though the propulsive midsole feels best when you’re running faster, the cushioning offers lots of comfort should you need to slow down. 

Upper Fit

The Nike Vaporfly 3 Road Racing Shoes feature a Flyknit upper. Specifically selected Flyknit yarns deliver an almost perfect combination of support and breathability. 

While the toe box should feel spacious, heel pods in the heel collar help lock your ankle in place. 

Ideal Run Type

The best way to experience everything the Nike Women’s Vaporfly Road Racing Shoes have to offer is to race in them. Whether that’s a 10K or marathon, they’re ready to get you to the finish line faster.

If you’ve seen runners training in Nike Vaporfly 3, they’re likely getting used to them ahead of a race, or using them for a key weekly workout. A common piece of feedback from runners is that their legs feel fresher after hard workouts when they use models such as the Vaporfly.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
