Nike Vomero 17

I was a bit unsure when moving from the vomero 16 to the 17 as I read it was a slower shoe. However I couldn’t be happier. While the cushioning feels more plush and may sap some of the energy return it seems to hold up to the mileage better than the 16. Also, while running in the 16 you can feel the different cushioning systems as you transition from ground contact through toe off. In the 17 it just feels right, it feels the same throughout. I like the more old school heel for the 17 as well as opposed to scooped pointy one that came into fashion. Also, the forefoot seems to be better cushioned and have a less steep angle—a bit more like a basketball shoe—which I much prefer. 

Love the foam in the Vomero 17. So comfortable, they feel alive. My last road shoes were the Hoka Arahi and these were a great change. Good cushioning, and responsive enough for light workouts.

I’ve been in Hoka for 10 years since PF surgery and still put my Mafate Speed 4 as the best all around shoe, but the Vomero comes close.  Good cushioning, bouncy, true foot track and forward motion.  Not extra lightweight, but light enough for a daily trainer AND faster workouts.  A snug in forefoot.  

I've always been a Nike gal. I've had Hoka Bondis and New Balance 1080s (I like a thiccc shoe) and I did like those but always find myself coming back to Nike. Now I will say, I have alternated between the Pegasus and Vomeros, and they are very similar, but the Pegasus seem to wear down quicker (they are also cheaper). I always feel like they lose their cushioning around 100 miles, but my Vomeros still have cushion at 300 miles! The tread also seems to last very long. They are nice and lightweight and are great for faster runs, long runs, ive even ran tempos and fartleks in them! If you like thinner uppers though, you won't like them. 

Vomero has a bit thicker sole which provides more arch support.  It feels like a Pegasus 2.0.  I also find that it wont break down a quick as the Pegasus.  Don't get me wrong...love the Pegasus but I can get more wear out of the Vomero

The perfect level of cushion and freedom to run all easy runs, long runs and even certain workouts. The only caveat with these is the price can be a bit steep, though there is often discounts. I also found that if you over pronate a lot they do wear out a bit quickly.

Very comfortable, no blisters as always with Nike. Very Durable, after 500 miles very minimal wear on the soles. Always able to find them for around $110 somewhere.

I had run in Nikes for 30 years-HS through late 40s but moved away after Nike discontinued the lightweight trainers that I liked.  I ran in Adidas for several years but went back to Nike and the Vomero recently.  They have a decent amount of cushioning but not too much and some nagging injuries that I had have gone away after switching back to the Vomeros. 

I wore vomeros 4 or 5 years ago, I'm forgetting which model, and liked them, but they felt like a much different shoe back then. It was far more structured and the foam was more firm. Now, the foam is softer, and feels more cushioned with some structure, but not nearly as rigid as before. As a result, they are very comfortable, and I like the 17s much more than before. 

Always been a big fan of the Vomero. Was pretty bummed when Nike went away from it for a few years. The addition of the new foam in this shoe is immediately noticeable from the prior model. Was really surprised at how responsive it is and it doesn't seem to break down as easy as earlier models. Great option for easy miles/long runs and the improved foam and lighter weight means I don't feel clunky if I decide to run a little faster.
