"The previuos pair of Air Vomeros i wore were the Vomero 2. I loved the shoes and swore by their comfort. However, the heel somehow broke down and it wore blisters even with socks. I then went with Zoot and i still wear them for races. However, for long runs and training, nothing can beat the Vomeros. Literally feels like you have pillows on your feet. I think i've learned my lesson and will stay with the Vomeros until they prove me wrong otherwise."xmann1102
Fit
Perfect fit for a neutral foot striker like myself. I immediately put my tie-less laces in and they fit like a dream. Not too tight around the laces, which is where i usually have issues with shoes.
Comfort
Bar none the most comfortable shoe i've owned or worn. Even more comfort and support than the Vomero 2 i previously wore. Ever strapped a couple pillows on your feet? If not, try these suckers on.
Durability
As i mentioned in quality of construction, my Vomero 2 broke down early and i'm hoping this won't be the case with these. I only have about 50 miles or so in them now, but i'm optimistic they'll hold up longer than my last pair.
Value
These retail for $139, but got them at an incredible price of $102 from runningwarehouse.com Can't beat that for a shoes of this quality.
Appearance
I admit i really like cool looking shoes. These are attractive but not flashy. I own the Navy/Silver color scheme. They also come in a Green/Silver scheme. I really like the look of the Navy/Silver. Very sleek and attractive.
Performance
I honestly feel these shoes improve my running pace and distance. Simply because the cushioning and comfort keeps my legs from fatigue. I improved 15 seconds on my pace and have felt alot less strain on my legs after runs of 6 miles and longer. Alot less soreness the day following longer runs as well.
Strengths
Comfort, comfort, comfort. These shoes are the mack daddy for comfort and cushioning. I was having shin aches for runs longer than 5 miles in my Zoots, but these shoes immediately cured that. I honestly believe i run better in these shoes because the cushioning keeps my feet from becoming fatigued. I have a neutral foot strike and these shoes provide the perfect balance between support and comfort. What more can i say?
Weakness
Questionable durability. My previous pair of Vomeros broke down after just maybe a couple hundred miles and became unwearable. Hopefully that was a fluke pair and these will hold up much longer. Perhaps another weakness for some could be the cushioning. I've read on other sites that they are just too soft for alot of runners. They feel as though they are bouncing instead of running. Something to consider if you don't like overly cushioned shoes.

Quality of Construction
My Vomeros 2 broke down after just a couple hundred miles. I'm hoping this won't be the case with these. Unfortunately i'm still suspect on the construction and durability.
