NegativeTrying the Vomero Plus in store, a lace loop snapped while tying it; cushioning and bounce are there but the build quality worries them.
Most runners find the Vomero Plus very plush and durable, a soft, bouncy shoe for easy and long runs. The main complaints are instability, especially on uneven ground or turns, and weight that some notice after 6 to 8 km. A few find the fit narrow.
Of the 135 reviews with a clear verdict, 62% are positive, 13% mixed and 24% negative. The praise mentioned most is great cushioning. The most common complaint is unstable.
The complaints reviewers mention most: unstable (14 reviews), heavy (12 reviews) and narrow fit (5 reviews). For example: Very bouncy but so unstable that after a few runs their right ankle needed a physio, so they returned it for another Superblast 2.
