Full details

How does the cushioning in the heel differ?

What surfaces are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for road running and hard, even surfaces like pavement and asphalt.
How should I clean my Vomero 18 trainers?
Clean using a soft brush to remove dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for wiping down. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The primary benefit is the exceptional plushness and soft landing experience provided by the max-stack midsole, minimizing impact on the runner.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more personalized fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
Foam cushioning naturally compresses with use. If the reduction is significant and performance is affected, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes, typically after 300-500 miles.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides grip, but performance may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Upper material feels abrasive.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. The engineered mesh is designed for breathability and flexibility; break-in may be minimal, but socks are essential for comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Nike Vomero 18 requires no special setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most standard running socks and suitable for use on pavement, asphalt, and other hard, even surfaces. They are not specifically designed for trail running or abrasive off-road conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean your Vomero 18s, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the upper and midsole. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot environments like car trunks for extended periods.
