The recent trend towards max-stack cushioned running shoes has not been one that I’ve always enjoyed. While the idea of incredibly cushioned sneakers protecting the legs from the impact of running is great, in practice, I’ve often found such shoes cumbersome and heavy things that detract from the joy of my training.
That meant I wasn’t too excited by the new Nike Vomero line of running shoes when it was announced. All three of the Nike Vomero 18, Nike Vomero Plus and Nike Vomero Premium feature huge stacks of cushioning, with the Vomero Premium’s midsole stack height hitting 55mm at the heel.
