I am obsessed with this shoe! I am an avid runner who routinely runs between 20-50miles per week and I am so surprised by how much I love this shoe. I am normally a new balance 1080 only girl but these were so cute I had to try. They are cushioned but still bouncy and I think they would be great for a variety of runs! I am a street shoe 9 and I ordered a 10 and they’re perfect (I always size up one size). Highly recommend!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes are true to size, and they feel super comfortable. The thick cushion sole is ideal for long sessions on my treadmill and walks around the park. The design is full of cool details and beautiful textures. I love the gradient along the sides, ending with the ZoomX logo that shows how supportive and responsive these shoes are. The fabric has a lot of breathability, it is super soft, both inside and outside. The sole has a good grip, but it is not very deep, which makes me wonder if the will give me many walks and runs. They are also super light and easy on your feet. The only thing that I would add is an extra pair of shoelaces in a vibrant neon color.
The Nike Vomero 18 has completely levelled up my long-distance game. True to size with a plush ride that feels like I’m floating over the road. The cushioning hits that sweet spot between soft and responsive, giving me the stability I need at tempo pace and the comfort I crave on recovery runs. Breathability is solid, lockdown is secure, and the outsole grips like a dream on wet roads. Whether it’s 10K at 4AM or pushing 20K on tired legs, these shoes show up every time. Easily the best upgrade this season. Highly recommend for anyone chasing comfort, distance, and performance in one slick package.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fit wise, this is TTS in your normal Nike size. This is my first time buying a Nike running shoe in maybe 8 years - I usually wear cross training shoes. I’ve tried on vomero’s in the past but it never worked out because they fit too narrow (I think the material a long time ago was not as forgiving). This iteration has changed my perspective on Nike’s running shoes. They are so bouncy and molded to my feet with every step. I walked about 3 miles in these so far and they have been incredible thus far. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a pair of running or walking shoes.
Nike is killing it with this gorgeous color way and a shoe that feels so bouncy. It’s been a few years since I’ve tried any Nike shoes for jogging/treadmill usage but these caught my eye. I’ve been wearing Hokas the last 5 years but wanted to find something with a higher stack since I’ve started to experience some back pain after longer treadmill sessions. Only a couple of days in and I’m sold! The only thing is I wish the toe box was just a tad roomier, I don’t have a wide foot but if it switch to my Move insoles it makes the toe area on my left foot cramped. I went ahead and took them out because I like this shoe so much. Will probably try half a size up and see if that solves the insole dilemma.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a long errand day and I put these shoes to the test and I was pleased. I am a person who will have to change shoes after a while and I did not have to with these. They are cushiony and comfortable. The inside is soft and they are lightweight. It was almost as if I could forget I was even wearing shoes. I also like the design. They are a bit more vibrant in color than I usually choose, but I don’t regret the colorwave at all. I love the small details like the silver metallic writing in the toe area. I initially thought the shoe was too thick at the sole, but I understand the purpose was to pack on the cushion. I am glad they did. This may be one of my daily wears, especially for long standing days.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am obsessed with the amount of support in these! I could instantly feel the difference the max cushioning made on my body- The ZoomX and ReactX foam absorb the impact from the ground and make running easier on my body. The Vomeros 18’s are the softest and tallest (stack height) pair of running shoes I’ve worn- the exaggerated rocker shape with the higher toe spring takes the impact off my knees, allowing me to run longer and easier miles without any aches or pains which I love. I went with my normal size (W 11) and found them to be the perfect fit as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OMG, the Vomero 18’s are EVERYTHING! These shoes are so soft and bouncy that it’s like walking on fluffy clouds. They’re made for running, but be real - they’re way too cute to wear just at the gym! The chunky sole vibes and these colors?!!?! Obsessed! You can wear them with leggings and a hoodie or with the right jeans and a cute top. I would totally wear these to school, out to eat, or just hanging out. And if you do need to run or work out, they’re obviously perfect for that too. Basically, once you put these on you’ll never want to take them off!
Exactly what I was looking & hoping for! THANKS NIKE! The last Nikes I purchased and wore were the Vaporfly Next %3 and loved them for racing but these I bought for marathon training, my mileage on the pavement. I am SO impressed with these shoes I just purchased another pair after getting 20 miles in these already! The RIGHT amount of cushion! Other brands I've tried for my training has been either too much cushion or not enough. I had plantar fasciitis several years ago, so I am cautious about what shoes to train in but these are amazing. I'm up to 40+ miles a week to date, and will get up to 60+ so fingers crossed these will be with me through them all.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are vibrant and fun - the minute you get your foot in them and start to walk around it feels like you are walking on mini trampolines! Talk about putting a pep in your step for real!! They are super lightweight so don’t let the extra bulkiness on the sole fool you. I wear them without socks and they are super soft on the inside. Great for a long walk on the treadmill or walking pad - I am not a runner but I can imagine some extra springiness and low impact on your joints should you want to run in these too…
