Nike Vomero is the worst shoe of all time.

have you tried asics trainers?

I agree. I got a pair for $50 once worn at a running store. Ran in them a few times.....like marshmallows.....no feel at all.

Relegated them to my walking the dog shoes in the morning. They worked fine for that until until our new puppy ate them.

Hah! Would read again.

So some shoe doesn't work well for you personally; therefore, it must be a bad shoe for everyone. Nice logic there.

I wear both the Kinvera and the Vomero and love each. I have to agree they do get heavy with sweat and I don't sweat much either but I like the soft springy feel. When I want something responsive I where spikes.

Eyewear spikes for my track work too.

Best shoe ever for me

Not at all. I just found it odd that Nike would create a rather expensive shoe in the Bowerman collection that wasn't equipped to handle sweat. I have run in quite a few Nikes in my day, I am not a Nike hater at all. I just found it odd.

I guess if you are a runner who doesn't sweat at all, it is a great shoe.

There isn't much response to the shoe, but that isn't my beef with it. Honestly, I knew that was the case when I bought them. I was upping my mileage and wasn't concerned about that aspect since I wasn't planning to race or workout in them.

weird, vomeros have been my favorite shoe since high school. [quote]frustrateder wrote:

Obviously, you are not familiar with the so-called running shoes that Reebok produced during the mid-90s.

Just use the Nike Pegasus instead.

First of all, learn how to use a message board. Secondly, the shoes suck. Vomeros are awful.

Went to the Vomero from the Pegasus while recovering from Knee surgery. Excellent for that purpose. Once I was relatively pain free I went back to the Pegasus.

Weird, I sweat heavily, have worn through several pairs of Vomeros in the past, and never had that problem. Maybe you're just really sensitive?

I think they are the BEST shoe of all time. Seriously, if you don't want them, send them to me. I'm running in walmart shoes right now.

Totally agree, I developed serious injuries in both lower legs, 3 weeks after I started to use them. Fancy but BAD, no support whatsoever.

The vomero is meant for a supinators/people who dont pronate/25% of the population. It isnt meant to give any support.

Best shoe ever for me! They are cushiony. Works great if you are a heavier runner. I 'm 6-4" 200 pounds and they absorb all the shock. Once I use them up, I wear the old ones to work. Just like walking on clouds all day long. Been running in them for year and have had many pairs of different versions. Wearing the 7's right now.

THis is the best shoe for me. I am in my 4th pair and I got more miles on these than the Asics I began running in 5 years ago. I am 165lbs and 5'-10". I swapped to Saucony in Oct 2012 to start training for the 1/2 marathon in Jan 2013. After 2 months in them I developed knee problems. Bought my 3rd pair of Nike Vomero a week before the 1/2. Had less than 10 miles on them and ran that race taking 10 minutes off my PR. No more knee problems. 400 miles later, pairs number 3 are still soft and comfortable. The ball is smooth with no tread left, but the shoe internally is in great shape. I have not noticed the sweat problem in mine and I run in South Louisiana year round.
