Do people wear Alpha/vaporflys outside of races? Seems mad to be running in such an expensive shoe with such poor durability just doing laps of the local park.

If you can get decent water-resistant footwear that's a bonus. Short or long sleeve running tee then shower after and stick all your gear in the wash. Have found whatever I wear it all ends up getting soaked. If it's freezing, blowing a gale and pissing down I'll go swim instead
Bought a pair of Pegasus Shields, love the feeling of dry feet after a soaking run.
Trying to not make excuses when it's pissing it down outside. Cycling is worse in the rain, and I can't swim either.

I get your average joe goes out in Nike or whatever. Thought there'd be the equivalent of Rapha for running, but nothing out there.
The indies I have seen..
Iffley Road (posh boys running),
Satisfy (uber expensive)
Soar (for the hardcore)
Sundried (if your dad designed running clothes)
Am I missing something? Anyone surprised about the lack of cool running clothing brands?

Alphaflys seem much sturdier than the vaporfly but obviously not an every day runner. I’ve just bought the tempo next % which are supposed to be the training accompaniment to the Alphaflys.
I copped vaporflys end of last year as a race day shoe but unsurprisingly seen 2 of the 3 ive entered cancelled (with one on hold) so I’ve worn them sparingly when I feel like treating myself as they are an absolute joy to run in

Similar to Seenmy I’ve run close to 1000k in my next% and they are holding up. Find it quite hard to consciously do slower runs and I feel like I can’t go as quickly in any other shoe. Been slowly weening myself onto other shoes (On cloudboom and Nike reacts) for daily 5k and saving next% for longer weekend runs

Does this model do work for every cycling/running/active brand out there?!? Swear I can't get away from him.
