Nike Vomero Plus Reviews

500 miles over two pairs; less bouncy past 350–400 miles but still fine for easy runs.

A 75-80 kg runner who has run more than 1,000 km in the shoe on easy, recovery, daily and some long runs. They praise the comfort from day one, the bouncy ZoomX foam and how well it has lasted, estimating about 70% of the bounce remains, and rate it 9/10 as a workhorse. The main fault is grip, which they found treacherous on frosty winter mornings (fine in warmer weather) and which has faded on the outside of the outsole; they also find it a bit heavy and loud, dislike the plush laces, and would avoid it for intervals and races.

Plush, durable and lively for recovery up to marathon pace, with a great upper; heavy and so-so lockdown for narrow feet.

Their all-time favourite easy-run shoe, 450 miles on the first pair with two backups waiting.

Bought a second pair after 500 miles, when the bounce had gone flat.

Still rode great after 300 miles, but they retired them early because they kept rolling their ankle.

A little over 300 miles in, it's been a solid long-run option without noticeable degradation.

1,000 km in, it shows less forefoot wear than their Superblast 3 at 50 km.

At 325 miles it still feels good with little wear, though slightly less springy; they're ordering another pair.

After 320 miles as a forefoot striker the outsole shows hardly any wear and an 11-mile run still feels great, though the bounce may be fading. Coming from Hoka Bondi 8s, they disliked it at first but quickly came round to its cushioning.

Their Vomero Plus lasted almost 1,500 km before needing replacement.

Their favourite shoe of 2025: very versatile and incredibly durable, with 400-plus miles on one pair, nearly 900 across three, and a 50K race in them.

Nearly 280 miles in; great for easy and long runs in a marathon build and now for easy recovery miles. Expects 50-75 more miles before considering a new pair.

Matt Klein sees it as a more balanced take on the Invincible: bouncy without being mushy, best for daily, long and moderate uptempo runs, with barely worn outsole at 100 miles. It is slightly unstable as the hips fatigue after 8–10 miles, has a tapered toe box and feels sluggish faster than tempo pace.
