Nike’s flagship neutral cushion shoe gets a slight update and delivers on the previous performance. Simple and understated, with a great midsole technology delivering a solid running shoe that is built for high mileage.
Nike know how to make comfortable shoes, but they are definitely not for everyone. The fit is a little narrow compared to the alternative premium cushion shoes on the market, so be warned! If you know and like the Nike fit, then you cannot go far wrong for the money on this shoe. The Vomero 13 is great value vs performance, and a true high mileage workhorse.
The sole unit on the Vomero 13 is the same as the Vomero 12. If you were a fan, you can transition perfectly into the new version, or hold out for the 12 in the sales. It is Nike’s premium cushion midsole with a 2-density construction. A firmer, more responsive ‘Carrier Foam’ is the part you see on the shoe, with a great groove running around the lateral side for de-coupling on impact, and a core ‘lunar foam’ that is legendary now for its reliable cushioning properties.
Zoom Air, the best air bag type in my opinion because of its performance under foot combines to give a midsole that soaks up shock mile after mile without feeling flat and heavy.
A jacquard upper (woven material) with knitted perforations in the vamp to provide breathability give a smooth and very secure fitting upper. As always, the Flywire lacing system does a great job of securing the midfoot once laced, so overall the feel of the shoe is superb.
The outsole if pressure mapped, meaning its designed to work in conjunction with the full gait cycle – and gives a quiet, smooth, and durable ride. The Waffle pattern always give superb off-road capabilities when you go on all surfaces. It’s a lovely outsole, cored in all the right places and durable exactly where you need it for an expensive top end shoe.
These shoes go up against the competitors such as Brooks Glycerin, ASICS Nimbus, Saucony Triumph ISO and Mizuno Wave Sky. are lower price range than any of the shoes against which they compete. Its Nike being serious as a running brand not a fashion brand with its technical shoes.
The Vomero 13 is a very solid, great performing shoe, with a better price tag than most, but if your comparing them 1:1 with the direct competition then they fall just a little short on technical performance compared to a Saucony Triumph ISO for example.
