Nike Vomero 18

Nike Vomero 18 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, more toe-box room than other recent Nikes. Accommodates wide or high-volume feet.

Feel

Deep, plush cushioning, stable despite the 46 mm stack. Runs lighter than the weight suggests, but feels sluggish beyond an easy pace.

Durability

Outsole wears quickly: lateral heel nubs already smooth at 65 miles. Less rubber than the Vomero 17.

Best for

Recovery runs and long easy-pace miles for heel strikers. Not suited for workouts or sustained faster paces.

Weak points

Excessive weight for a 2025 trainer (11.5 oz). The 10 mm drop is a drawback for non-heel strikers, and the reduced ZoomX/ReactX ratio sacrifices responsiveness compared to its predecessor.
