The Vaporfly has two long vertical strips on the heel whereas the heel of the Zoom Fly 5 is fully covered with rubber.

The Zoom Fly 5’s midsole is also firmer than the Vaporfly Next% 2’s midsole so there is less lean bias and you don’t have to slow down as much when going around tight corners.īoth shoes have very similar outsoles with thick, hard rubber covering their entire forefoots.

The Zoom Fly 5 is more suited to daily training because of its higher durability whereas the Vaporfly Next% 2 is better for races or key workouts due to its high price and lower durability. ZoomX is a very brittle foam which is prone to scrapes, dents and it loses its cushioning over time faster than React foam. The midsole foam of the Zoom Fly 5 is much more durable than the ZoomX midsole of the Vaporfly Next% 2. In the Zoom Fly 5, the spring-board sensation is minimised because the foam doesn’t have as much compression.

The ZoomX foam allows the plate to bend downwards more during heel strikes so that when it is released, it launches you forward like a spring-board would. The carbon plate inside the Vaporfly Next% 2 has a higher level of propulsion than the Zoom Fly 5 because of its softer ZoomX midsole. It also has a full-length carbon plate in it which makes it so propulsive. The midsole of the Vaporfly Next% 2 is made of ZoomX which is super light, very cushioned and very bouncy. It has a full-length articulated plate embedded in it which gives it a forward tipping sensation. The midsole of the Zoom Fly 5 is made of SR02 foam which is dense and firm.
