Pros

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.

solid running shoe for daily training

5/5

Overall

I had run in Nikes for 30 years-HS through late 40s but moved away after Nike discontinued the lightweight trainers that I liked. I ran in Adidas for several years but went back to Nike and the Vomero recently. They have a decent amount of cushioning but not too much and some nagging injuries that I had have gone away after switching back to the Vomeros.

Seamless transition, great cushioning makes an excellent daily trainer.

5/5

Overall

I was a bit unsure when moving from the vomero 16 to the 17 as I read it was a slower shoe. However I couldn’t be happier. While the cushioning feels more plush and may sap some of the energy return it seems to hold up to the mileage better than the 16. Also, while running in the 16 you can feel the different cushioning systems as you transition from ground contact through toe off. In the 17 it just feels right, it feels the same throughout. I like the more old school heel for the 17 as well as opposed to scooped pointy one that came into fashion. Also, the forefoot seems to be better cushioned and have a less steep angle—a bit more like a basketball shoe—which I much prefer.

Love the foam in the Vomero 17. So comfortable, they feel alive. My last road shoes were the Hoka Arahi and these were a great change. Good cushioning, and responsive enough for light workouts.
