Vomero Plus feel sluggish — sizing issue or wrong shoe?
Hey guys, need some advice 🙏
I originally had the ASICS Novablast (loved them) but they wore out, so I bought the Nike Vomero Plus as a replacement.
The Vomeros are super comfy, but I’m finding them a bit heavy and sluggish
Now I’m stuck between:
• Returning the Vomero Plus and going half a size smaller (would that actually fix the sluggish feeling?)
• Or just switching back and buying the Novablast 5
For context:
• Female, 58kg
• Training for my second half marathon
• Goal pace \~6:10–6:30/km
• Already using Zoom Fly 6 for speed sessions
Has anyone had the Vomero feel slow because of sizing? Or is that just how the shoe is?
And if you’ve tried the Novablast 5 — is it worth going back?
Thanks!! 🫶
