Product Review: Nike Vomero (5,6,7)

I'm a pretty big running shoe consumer. I have tried at least 6-7 different running shoes. I like a very light, cushion, and stable shoe. I am more of a stocky (5'7", 190#) runner. Lots of pounding.
I kept seeing the Nike Vomero advertised, but it came with  a very pricey $130 price tag. So, I waited and waited for the newer model to come out. So when it did, I went to Roadrunnersports.com and saw that the price had dropped dramatically to $76.00 ! So, I went for it ! When my shoes arrived, I was amazed at how light they were. I put them on and was even more amazed ! Very very comfortable. They had a ton of cushion. There also seemed to be a little more width by the toes (which I like). The sole was like a softer rubber. I have had running shoes where the sole was hard and it just banged on my feet and knees. Not these at all. The softer rubber also gave me a nice grip. Running on wet streets were no problem at all. The only thing that was a bit of a bummer was that the sole did wear down quickly. I ended up buying 2 pair to rotate them.
