I have been wearing the Vomeros (4 &5s) and love them. I’m a 125lbs women and run about 40 miles per week. I’ve tried both the womens and mends models and I found get FAR more wear out of the mens version…like double the wear! The fit and support seem to be the same so I’m sticking with the mens version.

I have the Women’s Zoom Vomero+ 4. I’m only a year or so into running. But I find them amazing, I’ve ordered ones online from all sorts of places but I find this the most comfortable running shoe. Very soft hits, very good cushioning. I love it, I hope my next shoe is just as good as this one.

I have to agree the 2 are the best. I still surf the web looking for inventory.
The 3s were a disappointment.
The 4s are not bad, but not as good as the 2s
The 5s were not good
And I’m not sure the 6s are even Vomeros. Has the current product manager forgot the the key value proposition and features that brought women runners to the Vomeros to begin with? And the quality is horrible.
I’m back to the net for 2 & 4s.

Hey Nelson thanks for leaving a comment! Glad you liked the Vomero – it’s been a great success for Nike. We will soon review the 6, stay tuned!

I have run in many different brands. I usually run between 5-8 miles a day. Asics were ok, but caused horrible shin splints. Addidas and reebok didn’t work well. I recently tried mazuno, and I really do not like those shoes. Nike has always made a shoe that felt right, and the Vomero 4 are by far the best running shoe I have ever worn.

The Nike Air Zoom Miler were THE best shoes. Not the track and field edition, I believe they were named after some runner. They were the best running shoes.

I loved the Vomero 2s and have missed them for years. I found a pair on line a few weeks ago and am in running heaven again. I have a newish pair of 4s that I will race in (the 3s and 5s stink). I need to find another pair of 2s before Boston. Any idea how?

I love these shoes. I run on 3 brands and these are by far my favories. I typically log 30 miles per week, and when marathon day arrives, this is the shoe I reach for. They are very cushioned compared to my others, and holding up very well (currently have 150 miles on them). They look like they will last to 250 miles at least.

Now the tread is flapping in the breeze, The glue seems to be holding on the repair .The other shoe needs some glue on the heel coming loose . I only lightly jog and power walk about 20 25 miles a week .I think i will try another brand these are only 3 months old .

I purchesed the Nike Vomero 4,s, love em but this is the downside, I had these beautiful running shoes about 3 months now .There falling apart had to glue the back bottom heel because it was coming undone now 3 weeks later coming loose again going to reglue them again . Other then that i love them But at the price i paid for them i thought they would hold up longer. I always ran and bought cheap running shoes starters from WalMart etc cheap in price in general, I’m afraid to buy another pair . My friend once gave me apair of new ballance lightly used they lasted for ever also had great comfort, Im clueless . Thanks John Caiati

I am a 51 year old 6’1″ female hiker/walker/runner with plantar fasciitis, which of all my injuries over the years has honestly been the worst by far. It just won’t go away despite PT, docs, orthotics, etc. Tried various shoes and have just purchased the Vomero 4. I ordered a bunch of shoes online and tried them all on one after the other. The Vomero was instantly the most comfortable of them all. I’m excited to give it a try.

I just got the Vomero 4′s and have ran on Vomero models since they first came out. I really haven’t noticed a huge difference in customing weight between each model- I usually get the marked down model after Nike releases their latest version of the Vomero (Got these for $80!)

I’m an avid runner. I’ve done 6 marathons. This is hands down the best shoe for long distance- it’s light and the cushion is unmatched. I think Nike may get a bad rep for it’s running shoes because they put out a lot of heavy, stupid shoes like the Shox but the Vomero is defintely worth the money. I can usually get about 350-400 miles a pair.

Excellent shoe- wouldn’t change anything on it except making it with cool colors.

I’m a middle man in terms of running 20 miles/week, and also on feet all day as a physical therapist. I have neutral arches, 6’2, around 200 pounds. I have been running around 15 years and absolutely love the Vomero 4, have tried cheaper shoes but these are worth the higher cost, highly recommend.

I just got home after purchasing the Vomero 4′s and I must say that after reading the review and all your comments, that I’m stoked to go out and run on these tomorrow. I’m typically a trail runner, but I’ll be moving to the east coast for a job and won’t have time to hit the trails as much, so I wanted a running shoe that I could bring with me to where I could hit the pavement when I’m on layovers. I also didn’t want something that didn’t look bulky like a trail running shoe and I can say that it’s one beautiful piece of footwear.

The Vomero is very forgiving on pavement and all weather track surfaces. I generally use my Torch 3 for trail work and hill sprints. The fabric breathes well and it’s pretty light for a bulky looking shoe. Despite the weird feeling of the zoom sole, I really like it.

I am 49, tall and slim, mostly a cyclist, but like to run for cross-training. One reason I gave up running and switched to cycling was knee pain caused by repeated impact of running. Lately, I’ve decided to give running a try again, so I’ve been shopping for running shoes that would provide maximum cushioning.

Today, I went to a running store and tried on several shoes, looking for the most shock absorption I could find. The Vomero 4 was hands down the winner. Absolutely amazing amount of springy cushioning, and the shoes really do feel like they are propelling you forward. Running in these things almost make you feel like you are cheating.

All I can say is, if you are a Nike engineer and are reading this, whatever you do, DON’T take out cushioning in the next rendition of this shoe! Many of us middle-aged folks trying to stay healthy have knee issues, and we want all the cushioning we can get. These shoes, in their current form, deliver that in spades.

Micky B,

You have the right shoe. I’m 6’3 285 and a long time athlete who never ran over 2 miles (football). Got into tri’s 2 summers ago and got plantar after 2 months of hard training on regular 65$ “running shoes”. Bad enough I couldn’t walk without pain for about a month. I tried running with the pain like a moron. My PT and pediatrist sent me to a real store (marathon sports, amazing) got fitted for underpronation and was put in the vomero 3. Cycled and elipticaled rest of the summer and fall of ’08. Bought the vomero 4 in march ’09 and hit the pavement fast. NO return symptoms or problems in 9 months with 3 sprint tri’s and probably 9-12 miles a week. Just ordered another pair for myself for christmas! Stick with the shoes and be confident and good luck recouping. (and I’m completely biased because I have no other shoes to compare it to, hahaha)
