Which shoe would better as a good mileage shoe(i have the streak 6 as a workout flat) for runs of 6-14 miles from 6:30- 7:30 pace.

But if you are being serious, Vomero's hands down.
It's like comparing a fast sedan(Boston) to an S.U.V (Vomero)
Anyone ran in the 14 yet?
Got them last week and have 25 miles on them. Will be my recovery shoe and also my running on rocky hardpack shoe. The sole looks legit unlike the fragile zoom flys, turbos, vaporflys so it’s great for a slightly rougher terrain like carriage trails or dirt roads.
As to fit, true to size for all my other Nike’s. Nice lockdown and the response is pretty good. It’s not pillows but still soft enough and fast. You can go slow or fast in these and you def feel the air unit under the toes. It has some nice pop at faster speeds, though you feel the weight at speeds under 6:30.
Get the darker ones as my wife has white and it gets filthy fast.
Wouldn’t call it a racer fast shoe, but could be a daily trainer for some. I find it a tad heavy for daily but love it in the rotation for slower days or when I do the local dirt roads and prefer not the shred up the fragile foam outsoles on my others. Also in cold weather (under 20) they work well as they are warmer.
For me that prefers flynknit uppers, the Vomeros more structured upper still feels good and the tongue is slightly padded. It’s not the typical support rail recovery shoe but has a bit more bulk around ankles for support,
As frame of reference, I use zoom Fly flyknits for fast days, peg turbos on runs over 14 miles and cheaterflys for racing. I am a 129 half runner.
The Vomero. The Boston deserves to go faster than your paces dictates.
Boston, hands down. Vomeros are made for people who weigh 200+ lbs. They're heavy, slow, and soft. They're running shoes for people who don't like running.

The Bostons do well at those paces, and so will the Vomeros.
If you prefer nimble, go with the Boston. For comfort and recovery, Vomero.
Consider the Brooks Launch, Under Armour Charged Bandit 3 (dirt cheap, go half size up), and NB 890v6. Saucony Freedom ISO and Mizuno Wave Shadow, too. All these are good options, and I'd choose any of them over the Boston for comfort in the 7-7:30 min/mile range, especially for those double-digit runs, while still just as capable at 6:30. The Boston is a great shoe, but the ride suffers at slower paces, in my experience.
And, for alternatives to the Vomero: Adidas Solar Glide, Nike Pegasus, Mizuno Wave Rider, Saucony Ride, Brooks Ghost. Those paces, a regular daily trainer can handle well.

not the new 14. However, it's very different from Boston Boost. So I would not compare those two models at all.
Yes those big clunkers are for sure for fat 5 hour marathoners.
...like Jordan Hasay?
Anybody running high mileage appreciates a cushioned and supportive shoe for easy/recovery days.
Look at the Adidas elites, all train in the Supernova/Solar Glide.
The point is being recovered for the workouts.
