Nike Vomero 17

I’ve been in Hoka for 10 years since PF surgery and still put my Mafate Speed 4 as the best all around shoe, but the Vomero comes close.  Good cushioning, bouncy, true foot track and forward motion.  Not extra lightweight, but light enough for a daily trainer AND faster workouts.  A snug in forefoot.  

I've always been a Nike gal. I've had Hoka Bondis and New Balance 1080s (I like a thiccc shoe) and I did like those but always find myself coming back to Nike. Now I will say, I have alternated between the Pegasus and Vomeros, and they are very similar, but the Pegasus seem to wear down quicker (they are also cheaper). I always feel like they lose their cushioning around 100 miles, but my Vomeros still have cushion at 300 miles! The tread also seems to last very long. They are nice and lightweight and are great for faster runs, long runs, ive even ran tempos and fartleks in them! If you like thinner uppers though, you won't like them. 

I wore vomeros 4 or 5 years ago, I'm forgetting which model, and liked them, but they felt like a much different shoe back then. It was far more structured and the foam was more firm. Now, the foam is softer, and feels more cushioned with some structure, but not nearly as rigid as before. As a result, they are very comfortable, and I like the 17s much more than before. 

Always been a big fan of the Vomero. Was pretty bummed when Nike went away from it for a few years. The addition of the new foam in this shoe is immediately noticeable from the prior model. Was really surprised at how responsive it is and it doesn't seem to break down as easy as earlier models. Great option for easy miles/long runs and the improved foam and lighter weight means I don't feel clunky if I decide to run a little faster. 

Great cushioned trainer really takes in those 100mile weeks 

Good balance between energy return to feel poppy, softness and overall comfort. Great daily trainer/long run shoe that holds up running faster as well

Really good daily trainer. Am able to get long runs and ez miles in this shoe. Post run strides work really well in this shoe so its good with faster paces as well. Traction on the outsole looks really solid, should be able to get a decent amount of mileage on it (hoping for ~400). Definitely recommend. 

For the price, it wasn't what I would expect. 

I love the shoe and wish to have more
