FAQs
What type of running are these trainers best for?
The Nike Air Zoom Vomero 18 trainers are optimized for road running and daily training on paved surfaces. They offer excellent cushioning and support for these conditions.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot but not tight.
Can I wear these for trail running?
These trainers are not designed for trail running. Their outsole and cushioning are optimized for hard, smooth surfaces, and they may lack the necessary grip and protection for uneven terrain.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers) or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support. For the Vomero 18, pay attention to the responsiveness of the Air Zoom units and the wear on the outsole.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Nike Air Zoom Vomero 18 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for ventilation during runs, which means they are not intended to keep feet dry in wet conditions.
What is the main benefit of the Air Zoom technology?
The Air Zoom technology provides responsive, low-profile cushioning that feels springy and energetic. It helps to absorb impact and return energy with each stride.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the adhesives, materials, and cushioning systems. Hand cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try inserting talcum powder or cornstarch into the shoe and leaving it overnight. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing.
Reduced cushioning effect
The Air Zoom units may take a few runs to 'break in'. If the cushioning feels significantly reduced after extensive use, it may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan.
Discomfort or blisters
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Laces should be tied appropriately for support without being too tight. Consider wearing moisture-wicking running socks.
Sole wearing down quickly
Check if you are running on appropriate surfaces. Excessive use on abrasive surfaces like concrete can accelerate outsole wear. Ensure proper rotation with other footwear.

Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the shoes in water. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap with water and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with fresh water.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing in damp conditions.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for wear and tear. Rotate with other footwear if possible to extend the lifespan of the shoes.
