PositiveUp to about 30 km run in the Vomero 18 so far. They liked the plush, well-padded upper with good lockdown and no heel slip, a stable ride despite the very tall stack, good grip, and no visible wear yet. Downsides are the weight, a thick upper that may run hot in warm weather (untested), and no snap at 5K or 10K pace. They see it as a comfortable daily shoe for marathon and half marathon training.

PositiveTrue to size with a plush upper wider than typical Nike, the Vomero 18's half-ZoomX midsole gives a smooth, comfortable rocker ride; a heavy, warm comfort cruiser rather than a speed shoe.
