FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for flat feet?
The Vomero 18 provides neutral support and moderate arch structure, making them comfortable for most runners; however, those with severe overpronation may require custom orthotics.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are ideal for cardio-heavy gym work, though their high cushioning makes them less stable for heavy weightlifting where a flat base is preferred.
How often should I replace them?
Depending on running frequency and terrain, it is recommended to replace the trainers every 300 to 500 miles to ensure the cushioning remains effective.
Are they waterproof?
No, the Vomero 18 is made with breathable mesh materials and is not designed to be water-resistant or waterproof.
Do these run true to size?
Nike footwear typically follows standard sizing; however, if you wear thick running socks, some users prefer ordering a half size up.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness across the midfoot
Adjust your lacing pattern using the top eyelets or switch to a parallel lacing technique to relieve pressure.
Slipping at the heel during runs
Perform a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing method to secure the ankle collar against your foot.
Accumulation of dirt in the mesh
Allow the mud to dry completely and gently tap the sole against a surface, then use a soft-bristled brush to remove remaining particles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vomero 18s last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box to account for foot swelling during long runs.
- Break-in: Walk in the shoes for 1-2 days before attempting a long-distance run to allow the cushioning to contour to your foot.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Never machine wash or dry, as high heat can damage the foam properties.
- Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, such as car interiors or radiators, to maintain the integrity of the materials.
