- Is the Vomero 18 good for daily training?
- Yes. It is designed as a cushioned daily road trainer for easy and long runs. It is less suited to tempo work or racing because the soft foam mutes speed.
- How does it compare with the Vomero 17?
- The 18 uses a thicker React midsole for more cushioning and a softer ride than the 17. Runners who liked the firmer feel of earlier Vomeros may find it plusher than expected.
- How does it compare with the Hoka Bondi or Brooks Glycerin?
- All three are max-cushion trainers. The Vomero 18 is lighter than the Bondi and Glycerin and has a 10 mm drop, while the Bondi has a rockered, very soft ride and the Glycerin a more balanced feel.
- Does it come in wide widths?
- Yes, this women's version is offered in a wide fit. The engineered mesh upper is roomy, so most runners can stay with their usual size.
- What is the drop and weight?
- It has a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop and weighs about 9.3 oz. That drop suits heel strikers and easy paces.
- Can I use it for racing?
- It is not a race shoe. The cushioning is built for comfort, not speed, so a lighter, firmer trainer or racing shoe works better on race day.
