Vomero vs Pegasus
Anonymous runner · Dec 10, 2024
5/5
Overall
Vomero has a bit thicker sole which provides more arch support. It feels like a Pegasus 2.0. I also find that it wont break down a quick as the Pegasus. Don't get me wrong...love the Pegasus but I can get more wear out of the Vomero

Overall
The perfect level of cushion and freedom to run all easy runs, long runs and even certain workouts. The only caveat with these is the price can be a bit steep, though there is often discounts. I also found that if you over pronate a lot they do wear out a bit quickly.

Very comfortable, no blisters as always with Nike. Very Durable, after 500 miles very minimal wear on the soles. Always able to find them for around $110 somewhere.
