Nike Vomero Plus review: what runners say
Fit
True to size across all sources. Runners with wide feet may notice compression in the forefoot; the tongue is not gusseted.
Feel
High-stack ZoomX TPE midsole (45/35 mm, 10 mm drop) with lively bounce and generous cushioning. Responsiveness builds with pace; below 8:30/mile the bounce is less noticeable.
Durability
Tested beyond 200 miles with minimal wear at the lateral heel. Italian source estimates 500–750 miles; the soft rubber outsole is the component most prone to abrasion according to EN sources.
Best for
Daily trainer for easy running, recovery, and long runs up to the marathon. Suited to heel and midfoot strikers; not recommended for speedwork or racing, or for pronounced overpronators.
Weak points
Heavier than category average and a narrow toe box flagged by some runners. The 10 mm drop seen as a drawback for forefoot strikers. One user reports eyelet failure after two runs.
