Some shoes have multiple versions of what is essentially the same shoe, with variations in style or materials. We try to group these together. Retailers sometimes list a version number wrong, and our system can treat those mislabeled names as variants.
How it ranks
The Nike Vaporfly 4 is one of the strongest racing shoes in our data. Looks and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 3 runner reviews and 4 other rated shoes in the Vaporfly product line. Another 9 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Current estimate: Exceptional
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
91/100
Based on product-line history, external ratings, and 3 runner ratings.
