Athletics’ ruling body will tighten regulations governing shoe technology after Nike’s popular Vaporfly brand helped re-write running records and sparked a debate about whether it was 'technological doping' . Vaporfly combines carbon plate and ultra-springy compressed foam and is now a familiar sight at starting lines across the world. Recreational runners’ use of the fluorescent footwear will be unaffected, World Athletics says. 'They feel very strange to walk in, but as soon as you’re racing and you’re running, they really do feel fast,' says amateur runner and triathlete who opted to buy Nike’s Vaporfly shoes after seeing other fast runners wearing them and reading reviews. World Athletics is set to announce the findings of a review of technology in road and track shoes by the end of January.
