Nike Vomero 11 or Pegasus 33

0/10

you need a Beast

I'm not in on the joke; my post is sincere. After reading several posts here, this is an interesting place. A mix of very useful discussion and very bored, insecure types. However, I appreciate the lack of censorship. Free speech should be prioritized even if it allows for so much foolishness.

I'd appreciate any insight regarding some shoe options for over-supination (i.e., laterally supportive shoes).

Thanks again.

I've used the Vomero 10, and the Peg 33. Can't speak for the 11, but both the Vomero and Pegasus are well-cushioned laterally with decent

support. I would recommend the Zoom Elite in terms of lateral support for a runner with high rigid arches. My favorite of the three.

I have exactly the same characteristics. I have ran in the Peg 32 and Vomero 10.

Peg 32 (for me) seems to have a high heel (regardless of what stats say) and not a smooth transition. I tried the Vomero 11 in-store and it does seem softer and is also about .8 oz heavier. Lots of reviews on the web.

My recommendation is the Vomero 10. They are going fast at most major sites from $70 - $80, including ebay stores.

Note: The new Ghost 9 feels real smooth based on in-store try-on.

Tried both the Vomero 11 and Pegasus 33. It's like the Vomero 10 split into these two models. The Vomero 11 is much softer, enough to change gait dynamics. However, it's still a bit responsive perhaps due to the midsole geometry which hasn't changed. The upper fit is a definite improvement. The Pegasus 33 is less protective than the Vomero 10 (and 11). Yet, it has plenty of cushioning for long mileage and is very responsive. I understand why Nike made these changes to clarify differences in the model lineup. The Vomero is now more clearly a plush neutral ride; the Pegasus provides responsive neutral cushioning. As much as I prefer the Vomero 10, it probably didn't make sense for most runners. I chose the Pegasus 33 as the Vomero 10 replacement. Overall, it's a great choice if not perfect substitute.

The Pegasus 33 just didn't work. The beveled lateral heel and segmented lateral edge didn't provide enough support. It's a great fitting shoe with just enough responsive cushioning. Should work great for a neutral or mild over-pronating runner.

After some research, particularly reading a post from "Feedback Mountain" here, I tried Nike's Zoom Elite 8. At first it felt too firm. However, after several runs, the shoe softened up (or I adapted to it); it seems like a winner. It's clearly designed with lateral support, which is quite uncommon. The abundant arch contour is great, not because my rigid arches need support, but rather, it connects my feet to the shoe for better response and shock absorption. The fit is great; moderately wide forefoot and narrow heal. Everything feels great so far.

I had the same issue with the Peg to the extent it effect my soleus muscle.

I felt the same about the Elite, just too hard in the arch area. May give them a try if they do soften.

Just started running in the Zante. Nice light shoe to have in the rotation, but not an everyday shoe for me.

Best running shoe on the market for supination is the asics gel-cumulus. The strong heel counter it has does the best at keeping the shoe in a neutral position and the gel on the sides absorbs any extra lateral impact.

Good to hear the ZE is working...I hear you on the beveled or slanted heels I believe the Pegasus would be great having the outer lateral firm rubber, but it seems the slanted heel just throws everything into further supination. Visually on the Vomero 10 it looks like heel is slanted too far as well but maybe its wider width makes it nonexistent.

I don't really think the ZE is a part time fast trainer it has the same stack height as the Structure...at the shop there is quite the buzz with the new Asics Dynaflyte as it has a flat unbiased heel. One other comes to mind that feels like the Vomero 10 is the New Balance 880v6

"that feels like the Vomero 10 is the New Balance 880v6"

I have been wondering about the NB880. Tried a pair on at a retail store (not run store) and liked the feel.

But they don't get much publicity. RW and RRS do not even carry them. Do you have opinion/feedback on the 880 ?

The NB 880 is only available to run specialty stores I believe the only online sale is new balance.com this is to support the local brick and morter. Ive only run a couple miles in the 880 on the treadmill there are extended reviews on newbalance.com my limited review is that it does feel lighter than the 11oz, broad toe box with the midsole feeling semi firm especially laterally. It did start to feel like it would become more flexible but out of the box its responsive yet enough underneath for a workhorse. In terms of upper fit its high volume with a medium to wide fit

Thanks for the info.

I tried the shoe on in a Military Exchange Store (BX). Agree with your assessment, my only concern was it seemed a little soft, not sure of how the responsiveness would be.

You're correct about the Vomero 10 having some lateral heel bevel. But, the outsole has two "rails." The inner rail doesn't have much bevel. Also, the midsole is somewhat firm (especially compared to the Vomero 11) which helps prevent excess motion (laterally and medially).

Glad to know I'm not the only one who notices problems with a biased heel. It's an industry wide issue, so I suppose it must be working for most people, just not me.

The Asics Dynaflyte looks intriguing, however, I'm concerned about it being too soft based on Runner's World recent review (they rate midsole firmness, which I find quite accurate and useful for the most part).

Another vote for the Zoom Elite from me. I had an old pair that I didn't like and ended up only using them in the gym. But the new ZE is a totally different shoe. Light, firm and comfortable.
