The Vomero 18 is a trusty daily trainer for runners who want smooth cushioning without the extra weight.
Features
The sustainably-made Nike Vomero 18 will take your everyday road runs to a whole new level.
Nike layered two types of foam—ZoomX and ReactX—to create the latest iteration of their essential comfort shoe. The Vomero 18 has a 46 mm stack height in the heel and a 36 mm stack height in the forefoot, making it the tallest midsole in the Vomero series. With that maximum cushion underfoot, this shoe promotes more efficient long runs, thanks to a high energy return.
The Nike Vomero 18 gives the support you need to go the extra mile(s).
Details
- Upper: A mesh upper keeps the shoe breathable, while the plush tongue and collar enhance the all-around comfort.
- Midsole: Soft ZoomX foam stacks on top of ReactX foam in the most cushioned Vomero shoe yet. This unique midsole creates a high energy return for maximum comfort on road runs.
- Outsole: High abrasion rubber on the sole promotes premium durability and great traction on pavement. This redesigned traction pattern, along with the shoe’s upward curve, encourages a seamless heel-to-toe transition with every stride.

Excellent every day trainer
I love the Nike Vomero! You should try it, you won’t regret it! First time running in a Nike Sneaker! I love it! Very lightweight, cushiony with a light spring! This will be part of my sneaker lineup! I think I’m hooked on Nike!

Fantastic Running Shoes!
These shoes are fabulous. The cushioning is incredibly supportive, and they hold my ankles in place while walking or running. They are a bit snug in size so perhaps I would increase from a 7.5 to an 8 next time.

Great sneaker!
I've struggled with finding the right fit shoe for my active life style. I had a sesamoid removed and wear orthotics and struggle to find the right fit for any shoe. I've struggled to find sneakers that have a firm rocker style but can be worn to run/walk or as every day shoes. These are the best sneakers I've had since my surgery! I would highly recommend for anyone with foot issues and have been struggling to find the perfect fit!

Love these… so comfortable!
Love these running shoes. They are very comfortable. I was surprised how comfortable they were. I own 2 pair now I like them so much. Size - I’m normally a 6.5 or 7 and the 7 fit perfectly for me.

Great Running Shoes
I have been wearing Brooks exclusively for almost 20 years and recently tried these Nikes and was blown away. They are so comfortable and I have zero Achilles pain which I have from times to time with other shoes. I sized up .5 size.
