The Nike Vomero has long been considered one of the ultimate comfort shoes for runners, and the Vomero 18 does not deviate from that lineage. Laced up, you immediately recognize that this is a tall shoe with a noticeable 46 mm stack height in the heel and a 10-mm drop into the 36 mm forefoot. Like a few of Nike’s newer editions, the Vomero 18s feature a combination of foams to provide both energy return and comfort. The top layer is a PEBA ZoomX foam (which is indicated by the big “ZOOMX” on the side of the heel) and the bottom layer is the ReactX foam. All things considered, this running shoe does have some heft to it, but once you get moving, you hardly even notice it.

Our style and fitness Editors at Men’s Health are no strangers to Vuori’s Sunday Performance Jogger: We’ve been wearing the pants to our workout sessions at the gym, morning jogs in the park, daily errand running, or just as part of our everyday casual outfits since 2020. As a result, not only did we find it to be one of the best workout clothes out there, but we also think it’s arguably the hands-down best jogger in the market right now. If you’re gifting them, he will surely love them equally.
