Kelly has been providing fittings for runners of all levels, from elite to very beginner, for almost 20 years, and shares her expertise on selecting the optimal running shoe. Kelly also weighs in on the Vaporfly controversy and who could benefit from the shoes. Roman and Elizabeth, who boast marathon PRs of 2:56 and 3:15, respectively, weigh in on their Vaporfly shoe experiences. Both provide excellent advice on the criteria runners should use when deciding whether or not to run with the famous carbon plate.
