What's do people find is the best super shoe for shorter road race distances?
I've been using vaporflys but I just find them too clumpy and unwieldy over 5k. I also find the pace benefit really only kicks in for 10ks and over.
Are there quicker shoes out there for this kind of distance?
Takumi Sen 9
Puma Fast FWD if you're a fit loper who wants the best toe spring to help keep turnover snappy
Saucony Endorphin Elite if you're just a good well balanced runner seeing as the energy return is second to none
adidas Takumi Sen is you want something that just feels great out of the box
MetaSpeed Sky from Asics. I feel better in them than in VFs.

Highly recommend trying the Saucony Sinister. Only 4.9 ounces (139 gms) for a men’s size 9. No carbon plate but ridiculously light and fast and great for shorter road races.

JACOB and YARED, why won't either try to emulate Hicham's 1500m tactics?
