I'm looking to pick up a new pair of shoes and was wondering thought on transitioning from the Lunarglide to the Vomero. I'm a forefoot striking supinator so I'm told the Vomero would be a good match for me. My concern is that it's soft and may agravate and achilles injury which I'm prone to. The Lunarglide have been working so I'm thinking of sticking with them. I was also intrigued by the Lunarswift 3 but haven't found any reviews of them. I'd appreciate any advice.
Are you having issues with LunarGlide? LG is a moderate stability shoe but as a forefoot striker, you are probably not even engaging the Dynamic Support stability wedge. If you like the ride and are not having any achilles issues, there's no reason to change.
Vomero is a neutral shoe and will be slightly softer than LG3, especially in the forefoot. You might head to your local specialty Running shop and try Pegasus 28. It's slightly firmer than Vomero and about an ounce lighter.

The Vomero feels great (especially the upper and tongue). However, it's heavy and feels way different that the Lunarglide. If you're a forefoot striker and you're in the Lunarglide, check out one of the lighter Lunar shoes. Or try anything without such an elevated heel. Are you opposed to getting a non-Nike shoe?

Trying the Lunaracer as an everyday training shoe might be good idea.
