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.

Nike Vomeros are goated

5/5

Overall

I've always been a Nike gal. I've had Hoka Bondis and New Balance 1080s (I like a thiccc shoe) and I did like those but always find myself coming back to Nike. Now I will say, I have alternated between the Pegasus and Vomeros, and they are very similar, but the Pegasus seem to wear down quicker (they are also cheaper). I always feel like they lose their cushioning around 100 miles, but my Vomeros still have cushion at 300 miles! The tread also seems to last very long. They are nice and lightweight and are great for faster runs, long runs, ive even ran tempos and fartleks in them! If you like thinner uppers though, you won't like them.
