Actually went to a Nike store to buy Pegasus 40. They were right next to each other so by accident I put this one and it was so comfortable I just bough it. When unpacked it back at home I realised that I bought Vomero instead of Pegasus. The best mistake I've ever made 😅

Facts I have the Pegasus 40, and just recently I went to the ASICS store to try out shoes, and it was crazy. The novablast and super blast are way better than the stiff Pegasus. Either way, since I’m broke I will have to deal with them until they are done.

I've watched other reviews on this platform, but it's your take that I wait for the most. Appreciate it!

Run 5-10k's usually. Had the Vomero 14's (best shoe I ever had) and recently bought the 17's to replace them. Glad to see others who like this line too!

Is this a daily shoe for long runs ?

Thanks for confirmation biasing my current rotation of Vomero 17 and Vaporfly 3.

Very interesting! You manage to cover all the main facts AND add your “meta” comments about who the shoe would be for and how it fits in the rotation while being entertaining and only needing 8 min for it: great content - thank you!

My favourite daily is the Puma Velocity Nitro (first iteration). Got it when it first came out (for about 45 quid!). Wore it out. Then tried various others. Novablast 3, Brooks ghost, pegs, Reebok floatride. None of them felt as good as the puma velocity nitro. So a couple of weeks ago, I hopped on to Vinted and snaffled a pair of the version 1 for 25 quid brand new. Absolutely delighted.

Thanks Ben. Would love to get back into a Nike and this one looks tempting but going to wait for the imminent launch of the Puma velocity nitro 3 and see how it goes down with the reviewers before making choice.

I’ve worn Pegasus since the 36s - but I’m finding them a bit stiff now. I have the invincible 2s, which I love, but I find they’re not stable enough for every day. The Vomeros sound like a happy medium! Thanks for a great review!

Maybe some more obscure picks here...but for years my go-to daily shoe is the Altra Escalante. Models 2.5 and 3 are among my favorites. Also really enjoyed the Topo Cyclone 2 from last year. Super light....and very comfortable for daily miles.

Interesting Ben 👏 I always preferred my vomero 15 to the Pegasus 37/38…. It felt like a shoe that the Pegasus “should have been” and the Pegasus should have evolved… but it hasn’t. Good to hear the 17 is a solid option

Vomero 14 was better than the Pegasus at the time. It was like a premium Pegasus, a responsive long run shoe. I had two pairs of them. The problem with that shoe was hot upper especially in the toebox and the fact that its midsole "died" quite quickly. After that there was a big change, 15 was totally different. In my opinion that shoe was made for ultra running which Vomero traditionally was 'til the v13. It was soft in heel and didn't feel as responsive as the previous version. That is why I preferred the React Infinity run. When the Novablast was launched, I didn't like to run in Vomeros anymore.

@@TimGrose yes Vomero is a premium option, whereas Pegasus is the average shoe for most purposes. It doesn't excel in anything but you can wear it for everything. That is why it has been a popular shoe for example among high school kids who can do everything from football to running and from gym to going to movies in that shoe. Parents buy one pair shoe that can do it all. The same applies to people who don't do sports at all although Hoka Clifton is threatening Nike Pegasus as a shoe of choice in dog walking and hypermarket/mall visiting. Pegasus has also been better than Vomero at gyms where people might wear the same shoe for classes, weight lifting, crosstrainer, running on treadmill and cycling. Recent models have provided quite good lateral stability and grip which is good in classes like HIIT. There are also much more stores that sell Pegasus and big chains put it in campaigns. We need also running shoes that are often available in double-digit prices. Most consumers don't want to try something new. They know what they wear and when they need a new pair, they want to go to a store and feel like that they can afford to buy a pair again.

the vomero 15 and 17 dont even feel remotely similar, coming from an elite hs runner, the vomero 17 is so much better

Ben can you do more reviews?? I personally think you give the best and genuine reviews 💪

I have this shoe saved in my wish list so I'm glad you liked it and also all your positive experience are stuff that I want in a shoe so thanks for sharing. I had vomeros and pegasus' but the latest pegasus was a big disappointment for me and I'm waiting for the 41 to drop because my thinking is that probably that one will be all new, the 40 was just an update but after this video I'm 100% going with the vomero.

I love how you gave other option thats close to this shoe and also what shoe you would rotate it with.

Great Vid! I just bought Vomero 17 today here in Nike Saudi Arabia.. can't wait to use it tomorrow. looks like a great alternate runners for my Pegasus 40.

Vomero 14 was probably my favourite all time shoe, though the outsole wouldn't last the longest. Went through several pairs, and have one pair left still! Vomero 13 was good to me too, though quite a different shoe. Helped a lot when I was suffering with heel issues and kept me moving.

Best daily trainer that Nike has right now. (IMHO) The miles just feel so easy. Great comfort underfoot, and that Zoom X foam on top with the Cushlon 3.0 under it is 🔥.

Daily running shoes - rotating between Novablast 3 and Saucony Endorphin speed 3. For the muddy, wet and slippery days and parkruns - use Pegasus 39 shield

I had the Vomero 14 a few years back. I really enjoyed them, but struggle to justify the extra price over the Pegasus for an everyday shoe. If I can get them on discount then I might get another pair of Vomero's. They did last me more miles than any other show has.

Thanks for the review Ben! I've been waiting for this one. Interesting that you say it comes up narrow; I heard it fits on the wider side. It didn't feel narrow when I put it on but it might explain why I've had some rubbing in them (I've got wide feet). I've done 70k in them but gonna give them till 100 till I decide whether to stick or twist.

My favorite daily shoes is Hoka Arahi 6. Light, comfortable, and stable. Still cannot find other shoes as good as this for my daily run.

I am loving the 17. Finally a great Nike trainer again that I can run in.

Hi Ben, first of all, thank you for all the great videos that you produce, they're all great! I've got one question which is: why do you never try any Adidas shoes? Are they all a straight no for your type of feet/runs?

As soon as I can get it on sale I'll be buying it!! Thanks for the great review Ben! 👍👍😁

My daily is the Pegasus 39’s. I love them. I even bought an extra pair for when I finish these. But must admit the comer o sounds like a nice option.

Rebel V3. Just grabbed them on sale from NB and loving them!

The new cushlon middlesole is very stable , durable, and comfortable ! I don't have the Vomero 17 , but I do have the Structure 25, and I love them .

Thanks Ben! My current daily is a pair of Asics Novablast 3 Lite

Those died after 220km for me, i expect peg/vomeros to last 4-5x that

OK, just ordered them right now! Tried the another Nike shoe a couple of months ago and like it so will try to Vomero. Really want a pair of SuperBlasts's but unavailable in my size right now for less than $400 in Canada. Luckily, I am not breaking any land speed records or going to the Olympics! :-). Thanks for the suggestion.

The sweet spot for me was the Vomero 13. I ran London in a pair of 3’s and Edinburgh in some 5s so have been there since the early days. I ended up with 5 boxes of the 13 and am now on my last pair 😢. The design then changed and I’ve not gone back past the 14. Might be time to return…

Love the runs round the Old Royal Naval College.. if it's a good enough location for a blockbuster Hollywood movie or two it's certainly do well for a shoe review!!

Appreciate your reviews Ben, esp since you have a narrow heel like me (I remembered that correctly, yes?)! I'm looking for another shoe for rotation with my Sauconys and debated going back to the ASICS GT-2000 (wore them a few models ago) as I'm not thrilled with the ON cloud flyers I was talked into at the shoe store, lol. I don't like a lot of cushion, prefer the feel of the road but still have some support/cushion which is why I use my Guides a LOT. But again I need another comfy daily trainer and just cannot decide which way to turn. I loved my ADIDAS Adizero Boston 9s, but then they went to the more plush under foot, yuck. My head is swimming with so many options...your opinion? The heel lock down is HUGE for me, so when ppl have mentioned the GT-2000 have some slippage in the current model, I'm leery about going back to them. Wondering if I give Nike a try with these as I've not run in a Nike in many years. Appreciate your input...God bless, Megan

Eagerly Waiting for pegasus 41 launch in April, before deciding on the vomero 17

Best daily shoe hands down is the Puma Velocity Nitro 2, it can do everything and you can pick them up for about £50 to £60

Hi Ben. Great review. Just one question... You said you went half a size down to a UK 11, but on your reviews of the Pegasus 39 & and 40, you said for you a UK size 12 was perfect. I also have a Peg 39 for reference and am wondering if I should be ordering this Vomero in half a size down or a full size down? Thanks!

i know its out of topic, but can you make a review of the Puma Magnify Nitro 2? Continue the nice work. Best regards.

I loved the Vomero 15s and now moved on to the 17s and I love them even more.. Exactly as you said, I run 5Ks and 10Ks in the Vomero 17s and they’re amazing running shoes overall. I’ve tried them on longer runs and there is where I felt they were slightly lacking in terms of cushioning and comfort for 2+ hour runs.

Got Nike Vomero 17 this week and I love it 🎉

Purchased this shoe earlier today. Excited to try it out.

How’s the result ?

Have you tried the Winflo 9s? Great daily trainer and on par with the pegasuses imo

My favorite shoes depends on the training Session I`m in. TempoTraining Nike Zoomfly 5 and Brooks Hyperion Max (looking forward fot the update this year) Intervalls Brooks Hyperion Tempo Long runs Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 Threshold Hooka Arahi. For trails Nike wildhorse 8.

Curious that you have different sizes in this, Pegasus and Alphafly so UK 11/11.5/12. I am a UK 13 and feel fine in the same size in all of them.

Where do you get your running socks from? They always look really neat. Particularly the green ones.

Bought them the other day on Zalando for €115 which is about £100. I tend to use them for slower runs. For faster runs I use the Puma Deviate Nitro 2. I was able to pick both pairs up for €230 which is about £200. Bargain for 2 solid pairs of shoes with good grip and durability.

Ran my first 5K in the Vomeros 17 today and they were great!

I'm a Vomero runner for years now 😂. Tried some Brooks last year, but al returning already. First 50K in my new Vomero's were good, and I look forward to the next 550K

How about the Puma Nitro Deviate 2 as an alternative? Puma Grip, a plate and £90 with a discount code.

Excellent shoe. Get the wide / extra wide. Reminds me a little bit of Brooks but with a bit more umph

Thanks for your reviews!! You got my LIKE!! One quick question: Which is better running shoe for recovery and slow-pace daily, NB1080 v13, Nike Vomero 17 or Novablast 4???

1080

Hi Ben, for at least 10 years I'm been a member of the Brooks family: Adrenaline for roads and the GTX and now Cascadia for trails. But I notice that you are mostly use Asics and Nike. Any thoughts on Brooks? In these matters it is worth exploring different options or sticking to what you know if it does appear to be working?

I've never found a Nike shoe that works for me, maybe I'll give this a go.

Loving my Novablast 3, grip is terrible this time of year though

I had a vomero16 and the cushioning was surprisingly me😊

Hi Ben. I just bought this vomero 17 but I got a women size 39 as 40 is big for me. I would like to know if there is no downside in women shoes and if its just the same with men shoes. Thank you for your feedback.

Triumph 20 for about £80 is a steal, best shoe I've ever worn

I got them for 100€ in discount and will test them tomorrow. Thanks for advice

Saucony ride 16’s by far the best daily.

Which nike would you use for training for a marathon? (I have now pegasus with 950km, so looking for new ones). First marathon was in september (4h48m42s). Training for Ghent Marathon now (24 march). Race shoe is now hoka rocket x2

Would this be good for sprint training on the track (especially on a harder recortan track)? I've started to run sprints in my New Balance Rebel v3 that I used on the treadmill before for 2k and 5k and unfortunately it's way too roomy in the front, plus the lockdown is mediocre, so it's not stable enough for sprinting on a track.

Bought it but was too big. Wearing them around the house the cushion seemed nice but it didn't feel like it had much of a rocker. Sent them back and didn't buy the smaller size.

Hello, Ben my query is this shoes can cause pain in arch of foot? As you describing this shoe makes clunky sound. Please suggest me any shoes that supports the foot arch.

Hi mate I've look and seen sacouny kinavara for good price but what shoe do you recommend?. Max speed 120 want daily shoe

my current daily is the new Asics Novablast 4

Vomero 17 or Saucony Triumph 21? I need room on the toebox...and one just one pair for everything.

got it for $80 after watching your video! so excited

Bought the Vomero 17 a couple days of ago. Had my first run today. 8k. Felt s bit weird. My last shoe was the Brooks Ghost 18 so the the Nike Vomero is from another galaxy. I felt running on cushions. I think I need some more milrage to have a better opinion about the shoe

Would you compare these to the Hoka Clifton 9? Are these 2 similar to you?

Honestly for the price or much less you can get the adidas boston 12, it has better foams overall, it is lighter better overall durability in the sole and you can use it all day like as a travel shoe.

watching the review of both the pegasus 40 and this i dont know which one to get, the pair i get will be for longer runs, edging more for the vomero after this but still unsure, any help?

I need a replacement for my Nike Tempos...how do they compare

This shoe is an absolute banger. The perfect long run shoe.

Is it in any way similar to pegasus turbo 35? (If we can ignore the weight)

You are amazing and always love following along with you and your training and races! You seem to eat beans in your diet often. I know you are vegan so I was wondering if they ever interfere with your gut or digestive system during training...?? I'm pescitarian. Had to eliminate dairy and beans from my diet during marathon training because I became very sensitive to both... Thanks for sharing your tips. I'm always motivated by you and your enthusiasm!!

I much prefer the Pegasus Turbo, it's so much more comfortable for daily running. Less durable but it's worth it (if you can still find it).

Good Luck Ben

I liked the cushioning of the Vomero but I seemed to get shin splints every time I ran in them. Pegasus have also gone really stiff and non responsive (in wide fit anyway). Invincble didnt suit me either. I used to always wear nike but now feel none of their shoes suit me

Shoe of the year. Criminally underrated

I'm a Nike guy when it comes to racing shoes and tempo shoes but I think they're not doing great in the daily trainer area. I tried these but ending up returning them. To me, they felt like a more dull and heavier Saucony Triumph 21. The upper is too thick and the majority of the cushioning is placed in the heel and overall, it doesn't really feel like ZoomX, the midfoot strike is pretty non-responsive and doesn't feel very cushioned. I think this shoe might be good for a heavy runner with a heavy heel strike but for me, I just didn't enjoy it at all, as compared to the Saucony Triumph which also has plenty of cushioning but with a better upper and a nicer ride.

Totally agree regarding the thick upper and heel cushion. The upper is too thick and it gets so hot after a few miles. I am planning to return it and get Saucony/Hoka.

Hey Ben! Currently training for London and looking for another shoe to add in. Do you reckon these would be any good for track intervals? Current rotation is: easy/recovery - old (500k+) Superblast, track - Streakfly/Mach 5, Intervals - Endorphin Pro 3 (race shoe), Steady runs & Long Runs - fresh pair of Superblasts, Race - Pro 3 or Vaporfly.

And how is Invincible 3 in comparison with these shoes?

Quick weird question, but what is the exact length of your foot, because if i look up the UK 11 in cm its 30cm and my feet is 29.2 cm. Not sure if i should take a size up or take the UK 11?

I think the answer is no. They are targeting the similar areas.

Adidas Adizero Prime X. Perfect every day shoe

I’m gonna be real basic right now, Pegasus 39 is good but has a tendency of roiling your foot

I guess just because a shoe CAN last 800k, does not mean you should take it that far. Typically the midsole has lost a lot of protection and performance far before that. I think leg saving occurs most efficiently somewhere around 300ish (or less) miles on a pair of shoes.

When you can get invincible 3’s for £25 more it almost seems like just committing to them, however £175 for a pair of easy day shoes … ouch

Invincible 3 or Vomero 17?

I had some years ago I didn’t realize they still existed. Mine may have been the 14 back in 2016? Before carbon plated existed I ran my first marathons in these 😆😆They’ve changed a lot and so has the price! I hate Pegs and these we so much better

Vomero 17 vs superblast 2? Someone help pls😊

Never heard of it to be honest. Sounds good though.

Hi Ben not sure why but I had been unsubscribed not sure if your aware of people being unsubscribed maybe others have been but are unaware

How much is it

Just bought it for 79€ I think is totally worth it

At first I really liked Vomero 16. I simply love soft midsoles. I thought to buy two more pairs in different colours because the price at that time was less than 60$ on Nike website. But when I started doing runs longer then 1 h 30 min ( 12-15 km) I admitted that a midsole started to compress completely to the end of my runs. I mean It is way too soft. Zoom foam is like air balloons and I feel a hard surface under my heels. And there isn't much bouncing which everyone on KZread is talking about. I just hit the ground with my heels and feel it. And I'm not a big guy (75 kg). Pegasus 39 on the other hand are great even after a half marathon even though it feels a little bit firmer than Vomero 16. Between those two models I pick Pegasus without any hesitation for all kinds of runs even for racings.

This or the Hoka Mach 5?

@James-clarke

6 ай бұрын

Hoka Mach 5 will be way less durable, depends what you want and how many shoes are in your rotation. If your going for just a one shoe daily trainer then vomero, otherwise maybe have a daily trainer (vomero, 1080, Pegasus) and then the Mach 5 as more of a speed shoe. Up to you tho.

show me exercises to make me sprint faster.

I was a long time wearer of Nike shoes but their trainers have been dead to me (except the Invincible 1 & 2. I switched last year to Saucony Triumphs and Speeds. Won’t get fooled again. Nothing worse than shelling out your hard earned money for something that brings no joy.

Pegasuses?!
