Runner reviews
Most comfortable shoe I've ever run in
5/5
Overall
I ran in vomeros in college, but after I graduated and wasn't getting them for free went back to the much cheaper pegs or NBs I had discounts for. Then I heard from old teammates that whatever Nike did to update the shoe was causing everyone to have achilles issues so I didn't feel the need to check them out again.
Got some pegasus 41s last summer and was very happy with them, but when they were getting close to shot I swapped them out for the new vomeros and was pleasantly surprised at how fast the clunkers were. I guess it's the zoomx foam. They are super comfortable and more durable than I remember Vomero 6s etc being.
They are a little unstable, but I was able to do some serious trail runs without any serious ankle turns.

Overall
In my younger days of running in the 80's I was a Nike guy, I just would not wear anything else. Over the years I felt Nike had over relied on marketing hype and their shoes didn't match the hype. I decided to take a chance again and after some study (not too intense) I decided to go with the Vomero 18, based on reviews and honestly aesthetics'. I have not been disappointed, the shoes look and feel great. I've had bilateral knee replacement and need a cushioned shoe. I only run 3 days a week, but I have to say they feel great, I have not been disappointed. As always, I bought a 1/2 size bigger.
