Overall

Wanted something with more cushion than the Pegasus. Also has a better fit for me with a wider toe box than the more recent Pegasus. I have struggled with Plantar Fasciitis , but this shoe keep saying to mostly at bay. I have found this shoe to be very comfortable for runs up to 15 miles. Haven't had a chance to run further in them yet.

Comfortable, soft shoe, with a good amount of cushioning under the forefoot as well as heel. Sizing feels quite roomy, and seems well lasting.

Overall

The vomero is easily the best running shoe for me. It for my for very well brand new- I barely notice when I get a new pair. They last well for me, I can usually put over 1000 miles on them before I start to feel the support breaking down. After trying most asics and Nike shoes, I settled on vomero.
