Every year we do a video covering the best carbon plate running shoes, but this year we're doing things a little differently. In this video (also available as a podcast) we go through (almost) all of the current carbon plate race shoes available and sort them into tiers. And yes, we know we've missed a few. Sorry Vaporfly 4 and Diadora Gara Carbon 3.
