    Vomero's have always been a super comfortable shoe with good cushioning that I think helped me stay healthy. I really did not like the new update to Vomero 14's.

    These shoes are my go to trainer when I can afford them (ie when I find them on sale). My legs generally feel less beat up when I run in these compared to other shoes, particularly after long runs. My only gripe beyond cost is you sort of feel disconnected from the surface your are running on. That tends to be the price you pay though when comparing heavily cushioned shoes to lighter/more flexible models.

    I love my experience with the vomero shoes so far. Having achilles tendonitis severely impacted the quality and amount of running that I was able to do. After using the vomero's for a week, the tendonitis pain was gone completely.

    However, the pads of my feet sometimes go numb while running but that might be more of a physiology problem rather than shoe.

    Great high cushion trainer, especially on hard surfaces. I always wear them when my legs are feeling beat up or if I have to run on primarily roads. The tongue is large and plush, I don't mind it but it could be an issue for some. I found that the tread worked best on roads and underperformed in mud.

    I personally are more prone to injuries in less cushioned shoes (Pegasus), so, in the mix of my cross country season, I began feeling pain on the right of my foot. I decided to change them out for vomeros. I never felt it again after about 4 weeks running in them.

    Although you may think it looks weird, it does the job. Grips well, nicely cushioned but still has the bounce I need on tired legs.

    On a bad note, it does sometimes feel bulky and flat if you use them on too many tempos/workouts at specific race pace. but, that again, that's not what there made for.

    These shoes offer just what I expect from a shoes that I plan to put lots of base miles in. These shoes are the most durable and best cushioned running shoes Nike makes (in my opinion). I can typically put 400 miles into each pair before switching them out.

    The downsides to these shoes are simply that they don't feel quite as 'fast' as the Pegasus or have the support of the Structures (both of which I have run in in the past). Vomeros are also not the best looking shoes out there, but that doesn't really matter to me.

    I prefer the pegassus for shorter/faster tempo training but for the longer runs i really love the Vomero. The Vomero is a bit softer and heavier but it gives great comfort in return and above all no injuries.

    I like the Vomero a lot. It is soft, light, and breathable. I find myself using this shoe more for easy run days rather than uptempo work, but I can still get moving well in them if I want to. I think of this shoe as a softer Peg.

    Has good cushioning and good responsiveness. However, the outsole doesn’t last as long as I’d like.
