How it ranks
The Nike Vomero 17 is one of the strongest daily trainers in our data. Cushioning and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. Value scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 61 runner reviews and 10 other rated shoes in the Vomero product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

“After 500 miles very minimal wear on the soles”
“Vomeros still have cushion at 300 miles”
“Cushioning feels more plush and may sap some energy return, but holds up to mileage better than the 16”
“Good balance between energy return to feel poppy, softness and overall comfort”
“Doesn't seem to break down as easy as earlier models”
“Perfect level of cushion for easy runs, long runs, and even certain workouts”

“Nagging injuries that I had have gone away after switching back to the Vomeros”
“Vomero has a bit thicker sole which provides more arch support”

Good balance between energy return to feel poppy, softness and overall comfort. Great daily trainer/long run shoe that holds up running faster as well

Overall
Really good daily trainer. Am able to get long runs and ez miles in this shoe. Post run strides work really well in this shoe so its good with faster paces as well. Traction on the outsole looks really solid, should be able to get a decent amount of mileage on it (hoping for ~400). Definitely recommend.

I’ve been in Hoka for 10 years since PF surgery and still put my Mafate Speed 4 as the best all around shoe, but the Vomero comes close. Good cushioning, bouncy, true foot track and forward motion. Not extra lightweight, but light enough for a daily trainer AND faster workouts. A snug in forefoot.
