Nike Vomero vs. Asics Gel Nimbus?

[cryssi]

Currently debating between these two. I've tried on the nimbus, but not the vomero yet. Thoughts? RRS has recommended the vomero over the nimbus.

TIA!

I have never tried the Nike, however I do run in nimbus and that is all I have ever ran in. Shortly after I started running I went in to be fitted and fell in love with the Nimbus. I tuck my orthotics under the pad and they feel awesome to me. My podiatrist thinks they are heavy, however when I asked others about that I have been told they are actually not the heaviest shoe out there. Just my two cents.

My local running store suggested the Gel Nimbus for me. They looked at my running style and said I had a very neutral foot, so the Nimbus was a good choice, since it doesn't correct for anything. It was the cheapest shoe they showed me and had the least padding, although to me it felt like the cushiest shoe. I've been running in them for about 3 weeks now and they feel fine. I'm new to running, so I suppose I wouldn't know the difference, but I've had no problems, except last time when I tied the laces too tightly (and that was my fault, not the shoe).

thanks you guys. I'm currently in the Asics 2130, but am moving to a neutral shoe. I think I pronate on one side and supinate on the other. It's very strange. Plus I get blisters on my arches, even with a ton of bodyglide. Plus I have some leg and hip pain, so I want to try some new shoes. lol
