Overall

This shoe has proven to feel great so far. It isn't as cushioned as my previous Vomero shoe but this is because I only used the beginning models of the Vomero. I bought my first pair at a previously-worn sale. Since then, I have not been able to purchase any more Nike Vomeros due to their high price. I bought my most recent pair (Vomero 8) at the Cabazon Outlets because they didn't have any more Pegasus 30 in my size and I found the Vomero 8 at a reduced price ($79.99); otherwise, I would not pay the $100+ amount to get a pair of Vomeros.

Peg28s are actually my favorite shoe over the last 5 years, but I'm carrying a bit more weight and running a bit slower, so the Vom8s are the next best thing. During this time I've tried 4 other shoes from 3 manufacturers.
