I think they didn't answer an important question: Did runners switching back to other shoes get slower again?



"Runners who improved their performance in Vaporflys and then switched to other shoes got slower.

There were very few runners in our data who met this criterion: We counted just 24 such races. But these runners finished about 7 percent slower on average than they did while wearing the Vaporflys. (Of the 24 races, 17 races were slower, and 7 were faster.)"
