Pros

  • +Probably more durable with reactx
  • +Stretchy upper
  • +Works for wide feet
  • +Not particularly narrow for a nike shoe
  • +Slept on shoe

Cons

  • -Inferior to vomero plus in softness and responsiveness
  • -Rubber on heel wears out
โ€œVomero 18 is definitely a slept on shoe. They had a sweet spot between 200-400 miles where they felt better than they had upon the first run. One of the better running shoes for walking.โ€
