The Vomero has often been overshadowed by the Pegasus in the Nike line up and is rarely given much of the spotlight but recently it has started to gain some traction amongst the running community as a solid daily shoe option. It's more expensive than the Pegasus but is it worth the extra cash? And how does it stack up against the likes of the new Asics Novablast? Follow along to find out!

Actually went to a Nike store to buy Pegasus 40. They were right next to each other so by accident I put this one and it was so comfortable I just bough it. When unpacked it back at home I realised that I bought Vomero instead of Pegasus. The best mistake I've ever made 😅

Facts I have the Pegasus 40, and just recently I went to the ASICS store to try out shoes, and it was crazy. The novablast and super blast are way better than the stiff Pegasus. Either way, since I’m broke I will have to deal with them until they are done.

My favourite daily is the Puma Velocity Nitro (first iteration). Got it when it first came out (for about 45 quid!). Wore it out. Then tried various others. Novablast 3, Brooks ghost, pegs, Reebok floatride. None of them felt as good as the puma velocity nitro. So a couple of weeks ago, I hopped on to Vinted and snaffled a pair of the version 1 for 25 quid brand new. Absolutely delighted.

@ianlowe4126 6 ай бұрын

Thanks Ben. Would love to get back into a Nike and this one looks tempting but going to wait for the imminent launch of the Puma velocity nitro 3 and see how it goes down with the reviewers before making choice.

I’ve worn Pegasus since the 36s - but I’m finding them a bit stiff now. I have the invincible 2s, which I love, but I find they’re not stable enough for every day. The Vomeros sound like a happy medium! Thanks for a great review!

@bpg201 6 ай бұрын

Maybe some more obscure picks here...but for years my go-to daily shoe is the Altra Escalante. Models 2.5 and 3 are among my favorites. Also really enjoyed the Topo Cyclone 2 from last year. Super light....and very comfortable for daily miles.

Interesting Ben 👏 I always preferred my vomero 15 to the Pegasus 37/38…. It felt like a shoe that the Pegasus “should have been” and the Pegasus should have evolved… but it hasn’t. Good to hear the 17 is a solid option

Vomero 14 was better than the Pegasus at the time. It was like a premium Pegasus, a responsive long run shoe. I had two pairs of them. The problem with that shoe was hot upper especially in the toebox and the fact that its midsole "died" quite quickly. After that there was a big change, 15 was totally different. In my opinion that shoe was made for ultra running which Vomero traditionally was 'til the v13. It was soft in heel and didn't feel as responsive as the previous version. That is why I preferred the React Infinity run. When the Novablast was launched, I didn't like to run in Vomeros anymore.

@baltsu 6 ай бұрын

@@TimGrose yes Vomero is a premium option, whereas Pegasus is the average shoe for most purposes. It doesn't excel in anything but you can wear it for everything. That is why it has been a popular shoe for example among high school kids who can do everything from football to running and from gym to going to movies in that shoe. Parents buy one pair shoe that can do it all. The same applies to people who don't do sports at all although Hoka Clifton is threatening Nike Pegasus as a shoe of choice in dog walking and hypermarket/mall visiting. Pegasus has also been better than Vomero at gyms where people might wear the same shoe for classes, weight lifting, crosstrainer, running on treadmill and cycling. Recent models have provided quite good lateral stability and grip which is good in classes like HIIT. There are also much more stores that sell Pegasus and big chains put it in campaigns. We need also running shoes that are often available in double-digit prices. Most consumers don't want to try something new. They know what they wear and when they need a new pair, they want to go to a store and feel like that they can afford to buy a pair again.

Vomero 14 was probably my favourite all time shoe, though the outsole wouldn't last the longest. Went through several pairs, and have one pair left still! Vomero 13 was good to me too, though quite a different shoe. Helped a lot when I was suffering with heel issues and kept me moving.

I had the Vomero 14 a few years back. I really enjoyed them, but struggle to justify the extra price over the Pegasus for an everyday shoe. If I can get them on discount then I might get another pair of Vomero's. They did last me more miles than any other show has.

Thanks for the review Ben! I've been waiting for this one. Interesting that you say it comes up narrow; I heard it fits on the wider side. It didn't feel narrow when I put it on but it might explain why I've had some rubbing in them (I've got wide feet). I've done 70k in them but gonna give them till 100 till I decide whether to stick or twist.

Appreciate your reviews Ben, esp since you have a narrow heel like me (I remembered that correctly, yes?)! I'm looking for another shoe for rotation with my Sauconys and debated going back to the ASICS GT-2000 (wore them a few models ago) as I'm not thrilled with the ON cloud flyers I was talked into at the shoe store, lol. I don't like a lot of cushion, prefer the feel of the road but still have some support/cushion which is why I use my Guides a LOT. But again I need another comfy daily trainer and just cannot decide which way to turn. I loved my ADIDAS Adizero Boston 9s, but then they went to the more plush under foot, yuck. My head is swimming with so many options...your opinion? The heel lock down is HUGE for me, so when ppl have mentioned the GT-2000 have some slippage in the current model, I'm leery about going back to them. Wondering if I give Nike a try with these as I've not run in a Nike in many years. Appreciate your input...God bless, Megan

Would this be good for sprint training on the track (especially on a harder recortan track)?

I'm a Nike guy when it comes to racing shoes and tempo shoes but I think they're not doing great in the daily trainer area. I tried these but ending up returning them. To me, they felt like a more dull and heavier Saucony Triumph 21. The upper is too thick and the majority of the cushioning is placed in the heel and overall, it doesn't really feel like ZoomX, the midfoot strike is pretty non-responsive and doesn't feel very cushioned. I think this shoe might be good for a heavy runner with a heavy heel strike but for me, I just didn't enjoy it at all, as compared to the Saucony Triumph which also has plenty of cushioning but with a better upper and a nicer ride.

I guess just because a shoe CAN last 800k, does not mean you should take it that far. Typically the midsole has lost a lot of protection and performance far before that. I think leg saving occurs most efficiently somewhere around 300ish (or less) miles on a pair of shoes.

At first I really liked Vomero 16. I simply love soft midsoles. I thought to buy two more pairs in different colours because the price at that time was less than 60$ on Nike website. But when I started doing runs longer then 1 h 30 min ( 12-15 km) I admitted that a midsole started to compress completely to the end of my runs. I mean It is way too soft. Zoom foam is like air balloons and I feel a hard surface under my heels. And there isn't much bouncing which everyone on KZfaq is talking about. I just hit the ground with my heels and feel it. And I'm not a big guy (75 kg). Pegasus 39 on the other hand are great even after a half marathon even though it feels a little bit firmer than Vomero 16. Between those two models I pick Pegasus without any hesitation for all kinds of runs even for racings.
