I just bought the 'shield' version. I find them very comfortable, a bit softer than my old on cloudflow (to be expected). I had Vomero but many years ago, I think they are a little less neutral.
The laces on the shield model don't have the little loops. Ankle cushioning is quite high but soft. The grip is great in the wet. I'm happy with them, just a bit more comfy than I'm used to. I've had a few Nike shield shoes for winter running, always got on well with them. They usually do double duty as winter trainers once I've finished running in them.
I started to use my own insoles again after years of forgetting to! Made a huge difference to the comfort of any running shoe. I use the x-line ones that a lot of people have. Not sure why I stopped using them, they work very well.
