11Hello guys. I am interested in sizing. I had nike cage 3 in 11us size and nike cage 4 in 10.5. If I want to buy these shoes, what size would you recommend?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Anyone using the VP2 clay? Are they better than the hard court ones?
since i dont own the hardcourt version, i cant tell, but i wouldnt recommend the clay version.Yes but also if its a better shoe overall. Based on the review by that foot doctor zac.
I think you may have been unlucky here. This is after 8-10 hits or 8-10 sessions (hours?)since i dont own the hardcourt version, i cant tell, but i wouldnt recommend the clay version.
material on top is weak and starts tearing very fast (after like 8-10 hits). i like the clay sole though.

I've logged about 20 hours with my HC Vapor Pro 2s and haven't had an issue with the upper. I tend to drag my toes as well, though more toward the tip and not in the location on the photo here
That seems very unusual that the upper would rupture without friction from the court. You don't have hot spots on your toe in that area either? It's definitely possible they are too wide for your foot, as they are a narrow fit for me in the toe box, but I haven't run into this issue. What size are you wearing?8-10 sessions each 1-2 hours
im not dragging anything. the rupture is clean from sand and on both shoes in the same spot. my feet might be too wide, i never had that problem with nike shoes though.
i got my money back from the dealer but didnt have to return the shoes. im gonne play them until my pinky toe comes out and switch to the gel resolution.
its a pitty since im a nike fanboy for like 30 years and the zoom vapor pro 2 is beautifull.
I would say similar in the midfoot but more narrow in the toebox for the Vapor. Gel Res is more roomy, primarily in the frontHow does these compare to the ASICS GR8 in terms of width?
Based on my experience the Vapor Pro 2 is noticeably more stable and than the Zoom NXT, which I think is because the Vapor has more of a flange around the outsole and just more outsole contact with the court. Durability is likely equal depending on how you wear down shoes. Comfort is very subjective, but I would think that the comfort would be about the same for most people because the midsole foam in the heal and zoom air in the forefoot is similar in both shoes. The biggest difference for comfort apart from how the shoes fit you personally is the lack of a shank in the VP2, which may give some folks less stiffness or break in time.Anyone can compare this model to the Zoom NXTs that have used both? (Comfort, durability, stability) Still like the ZNXTs but hate the fact that I have to drill small holes through the shoe for the lacing since the lacing system sucks on it.
Thank you for your insights!Based on my experience the Vapor Pro 2 is noticeably more stable and than the Zoom NXT, which I think is because the Vapor has more of a flange around the outsole and just more outsole contact with the court.

However, if you're looking for a more traditional lacing system where you can do a runner's knot, the Vapor Pro 2 may not be what your looking for. It has an extra hole on the lateral side only, which means you can go under and out the first hole and the top and then over and back in through the extra hole and crank the upper over your ankle a bit more, but you cannot do a runners not. I'm not sure you could even punch another hole on the medial side because the last two eyelets are loops on that side. But, these loops make it so you can tighten the structure around your arch more. I will say, as someone who loves to have a runner's knot available on any performance shoe, as quirky as this lacing system is, it works for me with some fussing.

Yes, should be true to size for most.Thank you for your insights!
Based on the looks, the VP2 looks more beefier. I’m not too sure on how much the ZNXTs weigh, but I do know for a fact that the VP2 is heavy, around 14oz. Anyway, I do agree with the lack of shank/none on the VP2. The ZNXTs do have the flyplate which acts like a shank but also slightly stiff when first wearing them. Lastly, I'm not too worried about tying a runners knot since I don't tie my shoes that way. I do like the extra padded tongue on the VP2s though compared to the ZNXTs booty tongue which I'm not a big fan of given I feel like I have to sink in the lacing a little tighter. As for the hole drilling, I might experiment to see if it could make a difference, if necessary. But we’ll see
When I do have time, I'll try them from a local tennis store to see how they fit overall. Would you say they're true to size?
I had to watch this match live. What a forgettable day…
i bought them at a good price, because my vapor pros are getting thinyeah well, i wouldnt expect that after 10 weeks. thats disappointing for a 120 euro shoe.
?will the colour way that rublev is wearing be for public sale or is it some end of year player exclusive?
When available?
This has not been my experience. True to size at 9.5 US. Slightly long, even.I'm sure it's been said here already, but vapor pro 2s seem to run a half size small. I wear 11s in just about every other shoe brand but had to go up to 11.5s in these and they feel perfect
Asics the last two years and new balances before thatSuper interesting that they are short and narrow for you. The only thing I can think is that it might be a difference in how the adjusted the sizing as they went up the chart.
What other brands are you an 11 in?
This makes even less sense when you look at the size chart for Asics compared to Nike. When you convert to cm you're actually wearing a 29.5 (Nike 11.5) compared to a 28.5 (Asics 11)Asics the last two years and new balances before that

Weird!
Idk what to say, gel res 8s and 9s ran true to size and felt great. My new balance 996s ran true to size at 11. My toes bump the end on the Vapor pro 2s in 11, but feel perfect in the 11.5sI never said it was incorrect, it's just very strange!
I'm curious because your experience does not match mine. I'm certainly not trying to imply that your experience is wrong in any way. Everyone's feet are completely different and the last of a shoe will fit differently for different people.
I also don't want to continue to tell folks that the Vapor Pro 2 will be true to size for them if that isn't the case.
When available?
There is a small launch on 11/1 of just shoes. The next apparel drop is 12/20 for Q1 2024 apparel and shoes.
Thanks,
