Is the Vomero 18 good for everyday runs?

Yes. It is built as a max-cushion daily trainer, with soft ZoomX over ReactX foam for comfortable easy and recovery miles. It is less suited to fast workouts.

How does it compare with the Vomero 17?

The main change is the stacked midsole, with ZoomX placed over ReactX foam for more cushioned comfort, plus a redesigned outsole traction pattern.

How heavy is the Vomero 18?

About 325 g (11.5 oz) in a men's US 10, which is on the heavier side for a daily road trainer.

What is the drop and fit like?

It has a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop and uses Nike's MR-10 last, described as its most consistent fit. Runners generally find it true to size.

Is it stable enough for overpronators?

It is a neutral shoe with a tall, soft stack, so it offers less stability than a support shoe. Runners who need motion control should look at a stability model.

Our take on the Vomero 18

The Nike Vomero 18 is a men's road running shoe built for maximum cushioning on everyday runs. Its dual-density midsole stacks soft ZoomX foam over springier ReactX foam, and a redesigned outsole with pods aims for smoother heel-to-toe transitions. At roughly 11.5 oz in a US 10 with a 10 mm drop, it is a heavier, high-stack trainer in the same comfort-first class as the Brooks Glycerin and ASICS Gel-Nimbus. It suits runners who want plush landings and easy miles more than a light, fast feel.
