I have them. They're a good shoe. I'm not sure eif they're a Vapor in the sense of the 9.5, but they're solid. Heavier though.

Had them for a long time. A durable, quite comfortable, quite heavy shoe. I like them, though I think ASICS make a better shoe overall. The Nikes look way better though as usual.

The clay breaker isn’t bad on the Hartru clay. Not the best in terms of grip (you’d have to look at Asics or Adidas for that) but it’s good enough and if you don’t mind a little bit more of a push off instead of a hard stop.

I really think Vapor 11 should deserve more appreciation. Definitely not a bad shoe performance wise, look-wise really one of the best out there. The only knock-off is that it performs no where similar to the previous versions of "Vapor", which is much lighter and faster. Nike should simply use another name, even naming it 'Vapor Cage 5' is better than Vapor 11.

Is this 'claybreaker' term new?

They've done a new sole that isn't just a uniform herringbone

I really want to try it

You are correct. I almost gave up on my 11s too soon. Very rigid and uncomfortable out of the box. BUT, after about 5 hours play they are so good. It's like my foot "re-shaped" the insole/midsole to a perfect fit. They are heavier, but are my go to practice shoe. I have to re-tie every 30 minutes or so, but I get good lockdown. And they are sweet looking!

Yeah, and very durable as well, which makes it a good practice shoe. But if I go for match, probably will get a pair of lighter shoes
