BuyPros
- Reviewers describe soft, bouncy cushioning that still handles faster runs, and rate cushioning 4.4 out of 5.
- Several reviewers report the cushioning and outsole holding up past 300 miles, one at 500 with minimal sole wear.
- Reviewers prefer the new foam to the earlier Vomero 16, which scores 91 on twenty-five reviews.
Cons
- It lists at $160, above the $150 median for daily trainers on sale, and value is its lowest-rated dimension at 4.1 out of 5.
- Two reviewers find the forefoot snug or the sizing odd.
- Averaging 9.6 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is heavier than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers on sale.

Vomero vs Pegasus
5/5
Overall
Vomero has a bit thicker sole which provides more arch support. It feels like a Pegasus 2.0. I also find that it wont break down a quick as the Pegasus. Don't get me wrong...love the Pegasus but I can get more wear out of the Vomero

Overall
The perfect level of cushion and freedom to run all easy runs, long runs and even certain workouts. The only caveat with these is the price can be a bit steep, though there is often discounts. I also found that if you over pronate a lot they do wear out a bit quickly.

Very comfortable, no blisters as always with Nike. Very Durable, after 500 miles very minimal wear on the soles. Always able to find them for around $110 somewhere.
