What owners single out
In their words
“I own 3 pairs of these shoes, they're amazing. they are the most comfortable and they go with everything. best shoe of all time.”
Wyatt · verified purchase · store.nike.com
“I wanted to them a 5 star rating for being so super comfortable ; because they absolutely are! However the quality of the mesh fabric just isn’t strong enough. I have ordered more than one pair of these vomeros for work & for whatever reason, the fabric near my pinky toe keeps ripping on me after about 2-3 months .”
