Vomero 18 SE Running Shoe

These are really cute and super comfortable, really is like walking on a cloud! However they do run small!

I really wanted to love these shoes because they initially felt incredibly comfortable, especially for walking. Unfortunately, that comfort absolutely did not translate to long-distance running, and I can no longer wear them at all. I wore these throughout marathon training without any major issues, but during the second half of my marathon, I developed severe pain just above and around my lateral malleolus (outer ankle) from what appears to be excessive pressure caused by the poorly designed tongue. The pain became progressively worse throughout the race, and my ankle was swollen and bruised afterward. Weeks later, I’m still experiencing pain and paresthesia (abnormal nerve sensations) in that exact spot. I’m genuinely concerned about possible nerve damage from the prolonged pressure. The area is now so sensitive that I cannot even put these shoes on without immediately aggravating it. They’re essentially unwearable. What makes this even more concerning is that my husband and brother-in-law also ran the same marathon wearing these shoes, and BOTH experienced ankle pain. Three people wearing the same model, all experiencing ankle issues during the same race, makes me seriously question the design. What’s especially frustrating is that this seems like such a preventable design flaw. The tongue creates a pressure point in an area where there absolutely shouldn’t be one, particularly in a shoe intended for running. I would strongly discourage anyone from purchasing these for long-distance running. A shoe that feels comfortable initially means nothing if it leaves you with lingering pain and potentially injured nerves after a marathon. I’m extremely disappointed because these could have been great shoes if Nike had designed the tongue properly. Unfortunately, I now have a pair of running shoes I physically cannot wear anymore. Nike seriously needs to address this design.

OMG! These shoes are the MOST comfortable shoes I have ever owned! I bought these for a week of walking and they were the most comfortable! Highly highly recommend!! Love love love!

The sneakers have been supportive and comfortable on my runs ~ whether it’s 3 miles or 13 miles ~ my feet feel good and look stylish too!

Such a comfortable sneaker. I am a nurse and this is the best shoes to work in for my 12 hour shift.

Love them! True to size-very comfortable. I stand all day at work and also walk 4-5km with my dog and me feet and back don’t hurt! Bought 2 pairs to alternate

I got these shoes yesterday and took them out for their first run today. WOW, the cushioning is amazing, and my feet felt so comfortable the whole time. I’m going to break them in well so I can wear them for my full marathon. Absolutely love them! P.S. They run a bit small, so you should try them on before you buy.

This is my third pair of these shoes! I love love love them! I walk all day long at work, literally putting between 12-15 miles in while working and my feet feel so good!!! Always size up 1/2 a size with Nike though.

These shoes are very, very comfortable.

At first I liked this shoe but it has a design fail. The tongue tread is not flexible and if you do more than 2 miles once your feet expand with heat that tread just rubs the top of your foot very uncomfortably and painful. I wish Nike used stretchy thread like nylon so it could stretch.

I did some research on best running shoes for casual wear. I own a variety of Nike sneakers and buy nothing else. These Nike Vomero 18SE running shoes for daily walking, work, running errands are so, so super soft and comfortable. I have had knee replacement about 2 years ago & these sneakers really help without pain. I will buy more of these & highly recommended.

I’m not a runner. I bought this shoe as a walker. I love the motive and the way it propels you. I have the Journey and it has a very flat feel when it hits the ground. This shoe felt a bit softer but I’m not really sure how I feel about it. I waited and bought the it at about 50% off. I would have been disappointed if I purchased at full price.
