Whom You Know Highly Recommends the Women's Nike Zoom Vomero: It is Among the Best Sneakers in Manahattan! Whom You Know is Pleased to Review our First Product from Nike


In our See Manhattan on Your Feet excursions, we must say that this first product we tested from Nike exceeded our expectations.  Providing the ultimate in comfort and padding on your feet, the Nike Zoom Vomero took Peachy Deegan 8 miles the first time she wore them.  If she didn't want to get the sheets dirty she might have even gone to bed in them, she loves them so much.  They are flexible, fast and engineered intelligently.  The classic design of Nike is one we love, and not only are these Zoom Vomeros fabulous for your feet, but they also are the ultimate in style in getting from A to B in Manhattan, or wherever you may live.  

The Ultimate Stats on the Ultimate Sneakers:

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES
• Cushlon midsole combines with Nike Zoom units in the heel and forefoot for a great blend of responsive cushioning and durability.
• Gender-specific crash pad absorbs shock at impact and helps provide a smooth transition to midstance.
• Women’s-specific Dynamic Fit windows and arch fit strap provide customized support and width accommodation through these key fit zones.

INSIDE SCOOP
The CPU midfoot saddle has been expanded to allow even more of the upper to stretch and flex dynamically through all phases of foot strike. The Nike Zoom Vomero+ 4 also introduces partial bootie construction to the women’s model for the first time (this has been a very well received feature of the men’s model). Finally, the engineering of the midsole has been slightly modified to deliver more consistent cushioning along the full length and width of the midsole component.

UPPER
• Built on the women’s-specific, QE-17 (Pegasus fit) last for an improved fit that accommodates the unique shape of a woman’s foot.
• External Fitframe heel counter wraps the heel for an exceptional,conforming fit.
• Dual-layer OrthoLite® sockliner with women’s-specific Heel Cradle geometry blends exceptional step-in feel with long-lasting cushioning.
• Elastic mesh panels work in concert with a thin layer of cast polyurethane (CPU) to provide a dynamic fit around the midfoot—these elements stretch and flex with the foot for comfort and support through all phases of footstrike.
• Women’s-specific Dynamic Fit windows along the first and fifth metatarsals provide dynamic width accommodation through footstrike.
• Women’s-specific arch fit strap allows for customized support around the arch, a key fit zone for women.
• Strategically-placed synthetic-leather overlays integrate with the lacing system to lock down the foot over the midsole.
• Expansive use of open mesh for exceptional breathability and comfort.
• Partial-bootie construction provides a plush, comfortable fit and feel inside the shoe (Internal--not pictured).

MIDSOLE
• Gender-specific, de-coupled and articulated crash pad absorbs shock at impact and helps provide a smooth transition through midstance.
• Full-length Cushlon midsole provides a great blend of responsive cushioning and durability.
• Heel and forefoot Nike Zoom units provide lightweight, responsive cushioning at heel strike and toe-off.
• Asymmetrical arch bridge midfoot shank enhances support under the midfoot while still allowing for a degree of torsional rotation to unlock the foot’s natural stabilizing mechanisms.

OUTSOLE
Abrasion-resistant, BRS 1000 carbon rubber under the crash pad enhances durability in this high-wear area.
Articulated segments of Duralon are placed across the forefoot and along the lateral forefoot and midfoot to provide cushioning and durability while also encouraging a more neutral, efficient toe-off.
Deep, gender-specific flex grooves improve flexibility and help provide a smooth, seamless transition from heel strike through toe-off.
Segments of solid rubber in Waffle Fill and Waffle outsole configurations enhance durability and provide great multi-surface traction.
