I don’t like to say anything too definitive about a running shoe after doing just one run in it — usually I aim to get 40-50 miles in a shoe as a minimum before I review it — but sometimes the design of a sneaker is so dramatic you can say a lot about it after one workout.
That’s definitely the case with the Nike Vomero Premium, which is the most cushioned and comfortable running shoe I’ve ever tried. That was clear pretty early on into the 10 mile run I did for my first outing in the shoe, and it’s not hard to see why when you look at the Vomero Premium.
