Much improved with zoomx foam

5/5

Overall

I wore vomeros 4 or 5 years ago, I'm forgetting which model, and liked them, but they felt like a much different shoe back then. It was far more structured and the foam was more firm. Now, the foam is softer, and feels more cushioned with some structure, but not nearly as rigid as before. As a result, they are very comfortable, and I like the 17s much more than before.

Top 3 of any Vomero I've run in

5/5

Overall

Always been a big fan of the Vomero. Was pretty bummed when Nike went away from it for a few years. The addition of the new foam in this shoe is immediately noticeable from the prior model. Was really surprised at how responsive it is and it doesn't seem to break down as easy as earlier models. Great option for easy miles/long runs and the improved foam and lighter weight means I don't feel clunky if I decide to run a little faster.
