Our Verdict
Nike Winflo 12
Nike Vomero Plus
The Nike Vomero Plus is a better shoe than the Nike Winflo 12 for most runners. It's significantly more cushioned, much more energetic underfoot, and much lighter, making it a more versatile shoe, whether you're taking it for easy runs or some faster running. The Winflo 12 is much more stable and considerably cheaper, however, so if you mainly want a secure shoe for easy daily miles without spending as much, it’s still a good pick.
