What runners say
“I can typically put 400 miles into each pair before switching them out.”
“Nicely cushioned but still has the bounce I need on tired legs.”
“My legs generally feel less beat up when I run in these compared to other shoes, particularly after long runs.”
“The Vomero is a bit softer and heavier but it gives great comfort in return and above all no injuries.”
“After using the Vomeros for a week, the tendonitis pain was gone completely.”
“I never felt it again after about 4 weeks running in them.”
“You sort of feel disconnected from the surface you're running on.”
“It does sometimes feel bulky and flat if you use them on too many tempos/workouts at specific race pace.”
“Most durable and best cushioned running shoes Nike makes.”
“The pads of my feet sometimes go numb while running.”
“The tread worked best on roads and underperformed in mud.”
“Great high cushion trainer, especially on hard surfaces.”
“They don't feel quite as 'fast' as the Pegasus.”
“The tongue is large and plush, I don't mind it but it could be an issue for some.”
“A bit on the heavy side, but otherwise very happy.”
“It is soft, light, and breathable.”
