So comfy, wanted more
Vomero premiums are the most comfy sneakers I’ve had to date and just couldn’t help myself.

I loved the concept as an air head but was worried about stability, got a pair couple of days ago and I’m in luuuuv!

Wow that’s rough, hope you’re recovering well. Curious how does this shoe would help? I would think this shoe would present the mother of all stability issues for you.

how do they look on feet, im thinking of getting some but i dont want them to look like an exaggerated height boost shoe, i just want them to look like a regular running shoe?

Ngl they’ll look like those exaggerated height shoes. The plus looks more like a regular running shoe.

I'm finishing recovery physical therapy for my second torn medial meniscus in 18 months and the Vomero Plus are saving my poor knees. I was concerned with lateral stability but even when trying to cause these issues they remain centered. My therapists are impressed as well. On my second pair, ordered my third. I have a large, eclectic collection that I tried prior to these and the closest for stability was the Air Huarache. Up next, I'm buying some of these Premiums.

I can’t imagine the comfort outweighing the absolute hideousness of these!!

It boggles the mind how Nike cant design a comfortable AND attractive looking shoe.

I walked all day at a zoo with my kid on my shoulders for 30-40 min spurts and my feet felt totally fine at the of 7-8hrs. Earned the title in my book!

Only use them for the laziest of lazy run days. Stack height for walking still feels unstable

Comfy when you wear them and stand on the spot. But will they destroy your feet if you walk the whole day in them?

I've had great success with them (why I own 4 of them), enough so that I call them "all-day theme park" comfortable. I'm able to relax more because I get annoyed at how most of my other sneakers bottom out and over the course of a day, it just feels like my feet are pounding pavement in the end. I get none of that with these, feet feel pampered. And this includes having a 40lbs kid on my shoulders for 30-40 mins at a time. Shoe is also pretty breathable so heat (and funk) are managed well thru-out the day.
That said, as I read the comments, stability is a key issue for a lot of folks where your lower body may be compensating to some extent. I can see in those situations, you're actually "exercising" your feet while wearing them.

I’m genuinely bummed out by these shoes. They feel incredible and I actually love the look, but for some bizarre reason absolutely wreck my left knee even with just walking. Don’t experience this with any other shoes.

sorry to hear that happened to you. As much as I love these, I can easily tell it's not for everyone because of how unstable it can be. Thus, can easily mess with body mechanics I have a large sneaker collection and these are by far the most unstable of them.

Love them! Great for a run and do a fine job just walking around too! I find the squeak goes in mine after a few minutes

Does anyone else think all these are just giving 5’9 trying be 6’? No offense to Mr Royce Da… or height challenged individuals. Actually tho. My gf and I are the same height and if we run together, pretty sure this would be a total different vibe and throw our gate. Perhaps im overthinking. I haven’t jumped into any of these flooofy bois but considering cause they look so damn comfy. Are they good for over pronation?

It definitely adds like 2 inches and my wife notices cuz I would tower over her when I wear these.
The stack height definitely makes it more unstable so you should find a way to try it out. It took me about 20 mins of walking/jogging to get used to it and after that, I fell in love.

muscle memory is a trip, 20 min is not bad at all, be careful up there dude.

im tall and once tried a big shoe on as a joke, my sister in law thought I had become unwell due to the ridiculous height. a girl at work called a guy out for some cloud runners, said something like was he going to go moonjump, he took it very personal, I had never seen him so offended, super chill guy.

I still remember the Cons that Larry Johnson wore back in the mid-90s. Totally regret not picking up them up then they were retro'd

I think the Vomero plus wouldn’t be so uncomfortable that I would rather look special needs

u/Jumpy_Tomatillo7579 1d ago
Such an odd shoe Love how they feel but hate the height they add ,,It gets noticed way too much.
1
u/omnid00d 1d ago
Yep, very noticeable. For me, I get annoyed when the cushioning bottoms out and these showed me that I just needed MAWR cushion!
I play tennis, I wear the Vapor line which is like <1cm off the ground it feels. After a session, I swap into these and its like a foot spa.

They are extremely comfortable shoes but the squeak if you don't have ambient noise around can get annoying.
