![]() ![]() The new version has the same type of technology but now incorporates a thin flywire cable (durable string) that weaves through the straps that attach to the base of the upper. This allowed you to really synch down the shoe to the sides of your foot. This meant that there were 5 straps that attach to the base of the shoe that your laces went through. Last years version of the Vomero had an upper that included flywire technology. Which is what makes the flymesh/flywire design so important. The only time this could be an issue in an upper would be if you had trouble securing the shoe to your foot. With a bootie inside the shoe like this it makes everything inside the shoe smooth which means there can’t really be any areas where the mesh could rub against your foot creating friction for blisters. It eliminates a lot of potential problems the most important of which is rubbing at the toes. It’s like having an amazingly soft sock inside your shoe that holds your foot. There are many shoes utilizing this type of upper design and that is for good reason. I tested this shoe in the winter with thick socks on and it felt like it was breathing pretty well. The internal bootie material is thick and soft. The internal bootie construction is comprised of soft fabric that is attached to the sides of the upper that travels all the way up to the toe area and holds your foot. To top it off this shoe also has plush cushioning in the tongue and wrapping around the heel. The second is the redesigned flymesh/flywire system. The first is the internal bootie construction. There are two major aspects of this upper that make it extremely comfortable. I would also say that the Glycerin 14 has a smoother transition from foot strike to toe off with the Vomero having more responsiveness. In comparing the two I think that they are about the same in terms of softness with the Vomero maybe being slightly softer. It reminds me a lot of the Brooks Glycerin 14. I’ve really yet to experience a shoe with this much ground feel that maintains softness. I did enjoy the responsiveness in the Vomero 12 compared to the Bondi 5. It is not as soft as a shoe like the Hoka One One Bondi 5 but that’s not necessarily a fair comparison because the Bondi is just a different type of shoe. This includes shoes like the New Balance 1080v7 and the Nike Lunar Epic flyknit. It outperforms a lot of shoes in its same category. The ride of this shoe is just outright pleasant. They’ve really reached a good balance with the lunarlon foam/nike air zoom combination. You notice that the cushioning feels thinner in the forefoot but when your foot strikes the ground it feels great. It has great ground feel from the midfoot forward but it never feels like there is cushion missing. This is actually one of the things that impressed me the most about the Vomero. This gives it some really nice flexibility from the midfoot forward which adds some feel and responsiveness that is traditionally hard to do with a highly cushioned shoe. There are many different grooves in the outsole that travel along the length and across the shoe. That being said, I’ve only seen normal signs of wear and tear on the outsole. It doesn’t feel very durable and almost just feels like a thicker more dense type of foam rather than rubber. This version has me a little concerned due to the feeling of the rubber used on the outsole. I am not sure how the previous Vomero model was in terms of durability. The outsole of the shoe has been modified to include a lighter and more durable traction pattern. It provided a very comfortable ride on all types of runs and provided the type of plush soft cushioning that I prefer when running in a cushioned shoe.Īlthough it doesn’t look wide the Vomero also feels like its got a base that’s slightly wider than usual which makes this shoe feel very stable. I found this shoe to be very comfortable to run in no matter the distance. All of this technology packed into the Vomero’s midsole makes for a very soft and responsive ride that really did impress me. ![]()
