"I was quite impressed with its comfort and trail capabilities, and truly believed I had found an excellent shoe for my long runs and hikes. ... the New Balance Hierro v9 remains my top choice for comprehensive trail running. Its superior comfort and, crucially, its consistently reliable grip in varied and challenging conditions make it a more dependable partner on the trails I typically encounter. ... I feel more secure in the Hierro, and that confidence is key. In fact I will be using it for my upcoming races and that says it all."
"The Vibram Megagrip outsole on the Hierro v9 is simply outstanding. Its 4.5mm lugs provide excellent, reliable traction across various surfaces, from dry dirt to slick roots and muddy patches. I've always felt incredibly secure, and it consistently inspires confidence in diverse conditions. ... Great Vibram outsole grip, even on mud and wet rocks"
"The Trabuco 12 have been the best trail shoes I’ve ever owned. ... I’m 6”4 and charge hard over serious rocky terrain…and I feel completely safe in them."

"just for hiking and trail rubbing ... Personally I wore them for my ultra."
"I'll be wearing the Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra for them [30 Mile in August at Lean Horse (Custer, SD) on a gravel railroad bed followed by a 50K at the Wolverine State 100 (Alpena, MI) on crushed limestone and then the Dead Horse 50 Mile (Moab, UT) on slickrock]"
"I consider it to be more of a long distance shoe. ... I used it to run up to 100 miles on rough terrain."

"slightly tougher/longer lasting tread than speedgoats ... Challengers can tolerate it due to the tougher outsole ... nothing stops you from almost literally running them into the ground with how much of an outsole they've got on them."
"the tread doesn’t wear too quickly on the tarmac ... I’m about 1200k into this pair and probably looking to replace them soon."
"I’ve just passed 120k on this pair and no problems apart from some slight wear on the tread of the heel (the first thing that always goes for me). ... My previous pair lasted about the same amount of time too so I’ve never had issues."

"the shoes felt great, had no slippage whatsoever, were cushioned, responsive, and comfortable. I ran up and down the mountain without much concern about where my feet were placed... the shoes handled it wonderfully."

"First run out with them and set a new PR on one of my regular runs."
"The Catamount 3 makes (me at least) go faster downhill. It's unlike any running shoe I've worn before."
"for smoother/faster stuff switch to the Catamounts ... Love them."

"They are incredibly unstable on anything even remotely uneven, hit a rock wrong and goodbye ankle."
"I had two pairs that only lasted 150 miles each for me before the tread wore down enough that I couldn’t wear them on technical terrain ... They would probably last longer on less rocky desert terrain!"
"they shit clumpy things with even shittier grip on muddy terrain"

"downhills my feet were all over the place"
"I’m not convinced the Zegama is suitable for terrains that are moderate and up in terms of technicality. ... And I’m not convinced they can hold up on slippery surfaces. ... If I’m going to go for a mountain run with small rocks and tree roots, where there might be some damp/water, I’m going to reach for another shoe."

"I did a bit of walking in my ASUs in a race that I bonked in earlier this year. Most uncomfortable walking I’ve ever done! 🤣"
"it has an aggressive rocker and feels unstable to me."
"Adidas has worked great for me and I got 750 km in them so far, but they're not good on anything technical for me. ... My foot sits pretty good inside the foam, but the narrow mid and heel still make them really unstable if I don't land on the forefoot."
Adidas Terrex Agravic speed ultra. So fun and fast.
r/ultrarunning • Dilemma - best road to trail Ultra shoe ->I have pretty wide feet. I went true to size and they work really well for me. Just played with the laces to get them right. Took around 20-30k to adjust to them but now I’ve Put around 300k on them so far with no issues. They’re fun to run in!
r/ultrarunning • Dilemma - best road to trail Ultra shoe ->Hoka challengers or adidas terrex for dry days, Salomon quest 4 gore tex for wet/muddy/snowy days
r/discgolf • Disc golf shoes? ->Adidas Agravic speed ultra’s got that supershoe magic. Did a 100miler in them last year and worked wonders even in the end (the pronounced rocker really pushed you to run). Note that they will not work for too technical courses and require a mid/forefoot stride.
r/ultrarunning • Shopping for a new pair of shoes to train in/run my first 100 miler in August. Are the carbon plated trail shoes worth it for said distance? ->Have tried a few and here are my thoughts Saucony endorphin edges Very similar to endorphin pro 3s in ride. They are a fast shoe but let down badly by the grip (atrocious on wet rocks) and i struggled with the upper. Go half a size up to normal for these Brilliant for open firetrail Speedland SFD Is it carbon plated? Well they are in there but they offer the least assistance of any i have tried. Broad base and good grip with the absolute highlight being the lock down from the boas. Down side is they drain like shit without cutting the plug out and if you do that they let water in from any wet ground. Price is absurd for what you get Adidas terrex speed ultra This shoe is fast! Probably the quickest trail shoe i have used BUT They are incredibly unstable on anything even remotely uneven, hit a rock wrong and goodbye ankle. The instep rubbed my arch badly so only got 30k in them before passing them on l Hoka tecton x2 These have been an absolute workhorse for me. 400ks in my first pair and they have tons of life left in them. Maybe not the quickest ride but they are on par with the speedlands for stability but much lighter (cheaper too) Highlight for me is the way they drain Downside would be the tongue could be longer and thicker. Had issues with lace bite early on but got the fit dialed now. Great shoe for up to 50ks for me so far. Hoka tecton X3 Very bouncy ride, for me the most on par with road going super shoes. Took me a little to like and trust these shoes but now my go to race shoe. The grip is easily the best of all I have used including the X2s (can't beat vibram megagrip imo) They are wearing well and the ride settled down a touch to not throw me on bad landings( note it still will a bit) Down side, the lacing system not allowing a heel lock. Have to use thicker socks than normal (i prefer steigens) to mitigate the heel not locking 100% The upper is thicker than the X2s and doesn't drain quite as well but on par with most others
r/trailrunning • Anybody got any recommendations for trail running “super shoes?” ->You could try the adidas Terrex Agravic, they’re adidas trail runners There’s also the adidas Free Hiker which are their premium hiking shoes/boots, they come in high and low top with boost midsole so they’ll be similar to their boost running shoes
r/UKhiking • Terrex AX4 Hiking Shoes ->I'm part of the target market. I have a 30 Mile in August at Lean Horse (Custer, SD) on a gravel railroad bed followed by a 50K at the Wolverine State 100 (Alpena, MI) on crushed limestone and then the Dead Horse 50 Mile (Moab, UT) on slickrock. While I'll be wearing the Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra for them as I'm a small guy and need a lighter shoe, the Hoka Mafate X trail is going to be ideal for a medium or heavier runner running ultras on similar surfaces. Because I live in Michigan, I do a lot of my trail running on forest single track. I wouldn't wear a shoe like this for training. The always dependable Saucony Peregrine for easy runs or a shoe like the ASICS Fujispeed 3 for faster paced trail workouts is a safer option. But there are many ultramarathons that aren't on gnarley forest single track where plushness is much more important for long-haul events than trail feel or stability. But also where the trail surface would quickly chew apart a max stacked road shoe.
r/RunningShoeGeeks • Hoca Mafate X trail, to be released sometime in May allegedly. ->Adidas Terrex for dry days, North Face waterproof trail shoes rain/snow days
r/discgolf • Disc golf shoes? ->Adidas Terrex Speed Ultra, I just feel really quick and nimble on a rooty or rocky trail
r/trailrunning • What’s the best trail running shoe you’ve ever owned and why? ->I Train in the Terrex agravic speeds, love them. Even use them for short trail races.
r/trailrunning • Up to 9 models of trail shoes and still looking... ->I would try out: North Face Vectiv Enduris Has a nylon plate and gets great reviews. $160 Otherwise you can try more expensive… North Face Vectiv Pro Adidas Agravic Speed Ultra I have the Pro and the Ultra. Like them both. I plan to try the Enduris as I know a lot of people who love it
