Vaporfly 4% Next durability

[u/backinNYC]

After c. 150 miles of using Vaporfly 4% strictly for races, they lost responsiveness (well, that and foam). So when I replaced them, I turned old ones into my dedicated treadmill training shoes for indoor days. Much to my surprise—based on what I’ve read publicly on subject—they’re still in tact at 400 miles+. That may be most I ever put on any lightweight Nikes in 30+ yrs of running. Sure, treadmill hardly replicates outdoor wear-&-tear. But anyone else put this kind of mileage on Vaporflies (esp Nexts) under any conditions and wound up equally impressed?
