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”

Nike Vomero 14

4/5

Overall

I usually train in the Pegasus but wanted to the vomero. 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. I will probably go back to the pegasus.

Really like this show as a daily trainer and for long runs. Could be a bit lighter but the soft cushion more than makes up for it.

This shoe felt like I couldn’t do more than easy runs on dead legs. Honestly, the pegasus is much more versatile and feels as comfortable on long runs (30+km).

Haven't been able to get 500miles out of shoe without any issues in a few years. Can literally do every type of run in this shoe. Great cushioning, some support, and a lot of response for the faster stuff too
