Nike Vomero Premium Reviews

73 miles including two halves: leg-saving, light for its size, wide-foot friendly, but soft foam can feel unstable.

Incredible once used to the huge stack; left their feet pristine after travel.

A heavier runner who does half their runs in it for the joint-protecting shock absorption.

After 600 km of long runs and warmups, this middle-distance runner finds the Vomero Premium still well cushioned and grippy, but unstable at first and poor for fast paces.

Very heavy with the best cushioning but no ground feel.

About 90 km (roughly 56 miles) covering recovery runs, easy-to-steady progressions and a 90-minute long run on tired legs. They found the fit comfortable in their usual size and the midsole soft yet bouncy, and the weight did not drag on the long run. Less suited to speed, and they see it as pricey and one-note, best for high-mileage easy running.

8.5/10. It breaks Nike cushioning records, feels incredibly plush and is surprisingly stable for its height. Its limited use cases make the price hard to justify for many; walking and short runs won't reveal its support shortcomings.

One tester found it too heavy. The plushest in the line, surprisingly steady for 55 mm, and another tester gave it 12/15. A third tester dissents: one of the heaviest road shoes they've reviewed, easy runs felt hard, and it's a 'trend that went too far'.

Scores of 9.3 to 9.55: radical yet practical, energetic and fun, never ponderous or mushy. One tester went from skeptic to LOVE. Heavy at ~327 g, a bit wobbly at faster paces, and it sliced another tester's heel.
