"Great neutral training shoe with UNBEATABLE cushion, for wide flat feet."Peridox91
Comfort
I went into a store to buy my first shoes exclusively for running. I tried the Nike Vomero first, and then Aasics and Saucony's and Brooks. The other non-Nike were good, but pinched too much in the mid-section of my feet, because I have wide feet. I went back to the Nike and just knew it is it. The Nike had more padding than all three combined (or at least that's what it felt like). There was a small air bubble in the front of the shoe (the salesperson told me many people found that to be the case), but it goes away, or one gets used to it. The salesperson reassured me, "let's just put it this way: no one came back to return these shoes." And yes, that's true; I've almost forgotten there was a raised section/bubble in the front of the shoe. If you feel it when you try them on, don't worry about it.
But the reason this is a 3 is because of the upper portion of the shoe. Refer to the Fit section.
Also, excellent ventilation. WILL FREEZE YOU FEET OFF IF RUN IN WINTER!!! That's how good the ventilation in this shoe is!
Value
For $100, others companies offer shoes with MUCH LESS CUSHION! Nike provides an amazing cushion; it's like they provide a pair of clouds in each pair of sneakers.
Appearance
It's NIKE! Can't go wrong with Nike look and styling.
Strengths
Hands down, CUSHION is amazing. It's got like 4 times the cushions compared with the cushions of other leading brands. You ARE running on clouds. It's great for wide flat-feeted people.
Weakness
The upper of the shoe was not roomy enough. But perhaps my foot is atypical. I'm flat-footed, but maybe I have a thick foot vertically (high-arch?)

Fit
Great for wide, flat feeted people. However, the upper of the shoe does not allow for much room for runners with a vertically thick foot. There seems to be constricting tightness especially for my right foot. I went to runners world online to relace my shoes for more room for the upper part of the shoe, which helped, but hey, that's just me.
