FAQs
Are the Nike Air Zoom Vomero 18 suitable for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they may offer some grip on light trails, they are not optimized for technical or rugged terrain.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart, which correlates UK sizes with foot measurements. It's also recommended to try on the shoes if possible, as fit can vary.
What is the main benefit of the Air Zoom cushioning?
The Air Zoom cushioning provides responsive shock absorption and a propulsive feel, making runs feel more energetic and comfortable by reducing impact.
Can these trainers be used for walking?
Yes, the cushioning and comfort make them suitable for walking, though their design is optimized for running performance.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning.
What is the primary difference between the Vomero and other Nike running series?
The Vomero series typically emphasizes maximum cushioning and a plush, comfortable ride, often making it a go-to for daily training and long runs where comfort is key.
Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during running
Check for any debris trapped in the sole or between the cushioning layers. Ensure laces are not overly tight, which can sometimes cause creaking.
Slipping sensation
Ensure the shoes fit snugly. Check if the outsole is worn down; if so, it may be time for a replacement. Clean the outsole if mud or debris is hindering grip.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size and width. Ensure socks are appropriate for running. Break in the shoes gradually over a few runs.

Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a dry brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
