Our Verdict

Saucony Hurricane 25

Nike Vomero Plus

The Nike Vomero Plus and Saucony Hurricane 25 are two max-cushioned trainers built on very different design principles. The Vomero Plus has Nike's classic high drop, so while its heel sits higher than the Hurricane 25, the forefoot of the Vomero Plus is actually lower to the ground. The Vomero Plus is also built on a narrower platform than the Hurricane 25, which, combined with Saucony's moderate stability features, makes the Hurricane 25 the more stable of the two shoes. Unsurprisingly, given the shoes' differing designs, the Vomero Plus is comparably more cushioned in the heel, while the Hurricane 25 is better cushioned in the forefoot. Both shoes have a fun, bouncy ride, but the Vomero Plus returns energy more consistently.
