Is the Vomero 18 SE good for everyday runs?

Yes. It is designed as a max-cushion daily trainer, with ZoomX over ReactX foam for a soft, comfortable ride on easy and long road runs.

How does it differ from the standard Vomero 18?

The SE is the special-edition version of the Vomero 18. The cushioning setup is the same: ZoomX stacked on ReactX with a 10 mm drop.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

It has a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop, which suits heel strikers and runners who like a traditional offset.

How much does it weigh?

About 263 g (9.3 oz) in a women's US 8, typical for a heavily cushioned daily trainer.

Is it good for speed workouts?

Not really. The soft, tall cushioning favors comfort over responsiveness, so it works better for easy miles than for tempo or race pace.

Does it fit true to size?

The padded tongue and lining give a snug feel. Nike running shoes generally run true to size, but runners between sizes often size up for long-run toe room.

Our take on the Women's Vomero 18 SE

The Vomero 18 SE is Nike's max-cushion women's road running shoe, built with a dual-density midsole that stacks soft ZoomX foam over responsive ReactX foam. It is aimed at daily training and long easy miles where comfort matters more than speed. The 10 mm drop and roughly 9.3 oz weight (women's US 8) put it in line with other plush daily trainers, while the engineered mesh upper and padded tongue and lining favor a snug, soft step-in. Rivals like the Brooks Glycerin and Asics Gel-Nimbus are similarly cushioned; the Vomero's edge is the ZoomX layer, though its softness makes it less suited to fast workouts.
