After trying mizuno wave nirvana, kayano XII, nimbus, and now Vomeros I can categorically state that The Vomero (kind of a big boys Pegasus) is the most comfortable shoe to run in that I have ever come across.
The difference is like going from a Suzuki leaf sprung jeep to a Range Rover. I never ever thought running on the road could be considered comfortable.
Ok Many of you will realise that there is a type of shoe issue going on here. I was wrongly advised to get a stability shoe at first and after weeks of Shin splints and achilles problems I am now in a cushioned shoe, but even between the Nimbus and the Vomero the difference is out of this world.
Crap name but a great shoe, I am a Nike man after all. If you are after a nuetral shoe and love the comfort zone get these. They are responsive and because they are comfortable and light I shaved a minute off my PB for 5k on my first run in them, and I was being cautious!

Nimbus and vemeros.
Yes like pillows but I find on shorter stuff nimbus wins out.
I just came on here to ask for advice on the best heel ultra-cushioning shoe since I too have had problems with my achilles.
The only problem is, I feel uncomfortable stumping up the 85 quid.
Anyone know of any comparable shoes costing a bit less?
What price is getting rid of your achilles tendonitis and all the rest days that the tendonitis forces on you.
Just my 0.02p
I found that for about 25 miles they "bounced" however now they are great.
Still pillow like but responsive.
But about to stump up for my second pair.
I don't know whether to buy another pair now or wait for the next revision.
This new wave of shoes from nike certainly have me excited - the whole lower leg gets a workout which can only be a good thing & at last a step in teh right direction
The Nimbus are pretty nice. A world away from my Adidas A3s.
But I still have the heel problem, so I'm gonna see the sports physio and sort myself out.
I really believe all the barefoot principles laid down in teh forefoot running thread here, various barefoot sites & the pirie book, however I tried running in Puma H.Streets (plimsoles basically) & they put a bit too much strain on my calfs so a slghtly thinker sole suits me for a bit mroe comfort.
Turns out I supinate, and Runnersneed tried me out on both Asics Nimbus and Nike Vomero.
No contest for me. I'd gone into the store with sore shins, but as soon as the Vomero were on, I was running pain free on the treadmill. The Nimbus just didn't do it for me at all.
I'd say they lacked a bit of responsiveness at first, but I'd definitely sacrifice that for the ability to run pain free. A couple of months on from getting them, they're an absolute dream. A tenner less than the Nimbus as well.
I now use the Vomeros as my long and recovery run shoe as it guarantees that I can't go faster than 7min mile pace.

I recently discovered that I under-pronate so I was advised to pack up the Asics Kayano XIIs.
As a replacement, I just bought my first pair of Vomeros yesterday - they felt a little bit tight under the tongue - since it is stitched to the lining.
I still took the risk as otherwise it was really comfortable - do you think they will ease a little with wear?
Thanks,

Random if the black or blue but hey I don't care cos mine are always stinking!
spent.
£60 in some places!
Joe jogger is £70 for vomero +2.
Must investigate these new offerings of vermero.
Just need an Ipod to the the whole plus thing working.
After 3 runs in Vomero I am getting very sore lower legs and a sore right arch. They feel almost too soft and loose.
I have high arches and very rigid feet, almost supinating.
Are they the wrong shoe for me?
Thanks
I'm sure their fine for other types of feet but rubbish for me!
That did disappear after a while though (about 40-50 miles of use) so don't give up on them just yet.
Comfy they most definately are (the +2), but responsive???
