The Nike Vomero Plus is a maximum-cushion road shoe designed for daily mileage, long runs and recovery sessions. A full-length ZoomX foam midsole provides a soft, responsive platform, while the broad footprint is intended to support stable landings and smooth transitions. The engineered mesh upper uses soft, breathable yarn, with padding around the tongue and collar and webbed lace loops for an adjustable fit.
Nike lists an approximate weight of 292 g for a men’s US size 10 and a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop. High-abrasion rubber covers key outsole areas to improve durability and traction on paved surfaces, and reflective details add visibility in low light. The model is available in regular and wide fits on the referenced US page.
This is a plush everyday road option rather than a carbon-plated racer, minimalist shoe or technical-trail model. The high stack and 10 mm drop may not suit runners who prefer a low, flexible ride. Check the size chart, available width and local returns before ordering. Nike’s official US page listed a regular price of US$180 on 23 October 2026.
Reviews
“The Vomero Plus is capable, but I prefer the smoother, quieter and more flexible Vomero 18. The extensive rubber outsole makes the Plus feel stiffer, and I do not find the added ZoomX foam a compelling reason to switch.”
“An excellent high-cushion option for easy and long runs, with smooth transitions, secure fit and a plush interior. It is less suited to speed sessions; warm uppers, mediocre wet-road grip and inconsistent sizing versus the Vomero 18 are drawbacks.”
“The full-length ZoomX provides protective bounce and excellent impact absorption for relaxed or recovery runs. The upper feels premium and the construction is durable, but the shoe is heavier than ideal and the toe box can feel restrictive.”
“An unusually enjoyable maximal-cushion trainer with a broad, stable base, energetic foam and a soft upper. It works across distances up to marathon training, though the outsole may wear relatively quickly and the 10 mm drop suits heel strikers best.”
“Very comfortable and lightweight, with a particularly pleasant feel while running.”
“They feel light and pleasant to wear, with a floating sensation and plenty of cushioning while running. I would recommend them.”
“I chose these for my wife because of her discomfort and work demands. She is still getting used to the tall sole, particularly on stairs, and wears them outside work for now. They can accommodate her podiatrist's orthotic insert.”
“Light, comfortable and very well cushioned. Even as a heavier wearer, I find this a good shoe.”
“The lace loop failed on three different pairs: one while putting them on and the others within five miles. I liked the Vomero 18 for high-mileage training, but cannot rely on this design despite the retailer's helpful replacements.”
“The ZoomX cushioning is excellent, but the toe box feels far too narrow. A little more room up front would make this an almost ideal running shoe.”
“Soft, responsive foam works well for long easy runs and can handle a quicker finish without feeling overly heavy. The outsole grips well and the fit is comfortable, although I would prefer a thinner tongue.”
“The tall midsole took a couple of weeks to feel natural, but the shoe is now comfortable for walking and running. There is enough forefoot room for my fairly wide feet, and I prefer it to the Vomero 18 for recovery days.”
“These look lovely with my work scrubs and remained comfortable for most of a 12-hour shift. There was some pressure across the top of my feet towards the end, possibly because I tied the laces too tightly.”
“The soles were noticeably worn after about six weeks. My routine was around 2.2 miles of walking most days and about four miles at weekends, so I expected considerably better durability.”
“The cushioning works for walking but feels excessive for running, taking away road feel and making the shoes seem heavy and brick-like. I would not recommend them for runs.”
“After more than 800 km in the Vomero 18, this pair showed substantial wear after only 170 km recorded in Nike Run Club. At 75 kg, with mild pronation and roughly 5 min/km pace, the durability was disappointing.”
