Nike Vomero 18 vs Nike Vomero Plus
Two shoes people weigh up against each other constantly. Here is what actually separates them, taken from the same database that drives the Shoe Finder quiz, with nothing added by hand. The short version: they are closely matched on paper, so fit and feel will decide it.

What the differences mean
Weight
There is almost nothing in it, 298g against 289g. Weight is not the deciding factor between these two.
Heel drop
Both sit at around 10mm, so neither will feel unfamiliar if you are coming from the other. Nothing to choose here.
Price
£134.99 against £154.99 at full price, so the Nike Vomero 18 is £20 less. Both are discounted often enough that the gap on the day may look nothing like this, which is worth checking before you decide on price alone.
Which should you buy?
Neither, until you have tried both on. Fit decides more than any specification on this page, and the two shoes above are close enough that a foot shape will separate them faster than a spreadsheet will.
Nike Vomero 18
Thick, soft and forgiving underfoot. Great value if you want maximum comfort on easy runs.
Nike Vomero Plus
Nike's softest everyday shoe. Bouncy foam that makes long, slow miles feel much easier.
