What runners say
“The tongue is now so thin the laces dig in to my feet and the shoe no longer holds the foot snug because the padding has gone”
“I logged 899km (560 miles) in them. The upper is little stretched and worn but rubber still great”
“The tongue hurt my ankle so bad I had a bruise”
“After about 300 miles on each shoe the sides burst out on me”
“The biggest drawback is durability—I have worn away the lugs towards the front of the foot within the first 100 miles of wear”
“Zoom pod in forefoot is uncomfortable to walk (but not run) on for about the first 100 miles”
“The Vomero 13s lasted me about 600 miles or so but the 14s just seem to fail on me every time”
“First 100 miles or so you can feel the pod in the front which can feel awkward at the start of runs and walking”
“Used it for training at 5 min/mile pace, gets sorta mushy but manageable if you tie the laces tight”
“15 mile long runs are a breeze in these, no foot aching at all”
“Can literally do every type of run in this shoe. Great cushioning, some support, and a lot of response for the faster stuff too”
“Rubber in heel is on the thinner side, wearing away at ~350 miles”
“The shoe feels very fast—it broke in quickly and feels much lighter than to-be-expected from a max cushioning shoe”
“This shoe has awesome value, super responsive and cushioned”
“They feel absolutely horrible until you get about 100 miles on them”
“The vomero seems to have a little more durability and not break down as fast but it's a little heavy and unresponsive for my preference”
“They are great for logging miles but overall light enough for a solid long run or throwing in some speed if needed”
“React foam provides a responsive and comfortable ride”
“For all Nike running shoes I wear 12.5, however, Vomero 14s are perfect in 12”
“I haven't dealt with any injuries since wearing these shoes and I love the cushioning feel that they provide”
“Great for longer, easier runs but not too bulky for strides and tempos”
“Really like this shoe as a daily trainer and for long runs. Could be a bit lighter but the soft cushion more than makes up for it”
“Good cushioning for a Nike shoe. On the heavier side when compared to lighter cushioned shoes”
