Happy to see I own three shoes featured on this list. \- Nike Peg Trail: A perfect door to trail shoe. Light, snappy, and can easily log long miles. Advised only for light trail terrain, think California carpet. \- HOKA Mafate Speed: Will just eat any type of terrain. Ran a 50k and never once bothered my feet. \- Nike Zegama 2: Have a pair stashed in the closet, ready for use.
r/trailrunning • The 25 most recommend trail runners on Reddit (in the past year as of Jul 2025) ->The earlier range of Nike Trail shoes were not good. I had a pair of Nike Peg Trail 36s and while light and snappy, were brutal on technical terrain. I've got three different models of Nike's now, and IMO are some of the most underrated trail lines currently out there. \- Peg Trails - Are the best Door-to-Trail shoe out there. Somehow light and snappy enough for road while being rugged enough for trail terrain. \- Wildhorse 8s - When it gets muddy here in the PNW, I switch to these. Chunky lugs, and great grip for wet days on the trail. They're pretty damn heavy, but are very comfortable. \- Zegama 2s: I've heard them compared to the HOKA Mafate's and I tend to agree. All day trail eaters. \*Big caveat being that I have a very narrow foot and tend to like more aggressive trail running shoes.

r/trailrunning • Nike ACG Ultrafly 2 ! ->Have a pair of 36’s in a ski cabin up north that I still take out for hilly winter runs.
r/onebag • Running shoes as multi-purpose shoes? ->There's a third option which is hybrid aka "road to trail" shoes. The Nike Pegasus Trail series is one example. It's good on both road and trail. If the trails aren't technical at all you can also buy TR versions of road shoes like the Novablast 4 TR which are the same shoe but with an outsole that is slightly more geared towards trails.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Trail or road shoe? Stuck between two options ->Sweden you have lots of wet slippery rocks. I love Nike peg trails and Zegamas but hey are not the best for wet rock. I have a trail running friend in Norway who has tried almost every shoe and he says the best are the Finnish brand VJ. He said it feels like they are glued to the rocks.
r/trailrunning • Best trail running shoes ->I like the Pegasus Trail series.
r/trailrunning • Road to trail shoe recommendations. ->Consider the Nike Pegadus Trail for a good road-to-trail shoe. They've been great for me! And yes, do recommend rotating through pairs if you are running regularly!
r/trailrunning • Do you own multiple pairs of shoes? ->Surprisingly the Nike peg trail fits great. Nike has the best foam too imo
r/trailrunning • Need New Wide Trail Shoe ->Controversial take, but I really like the Nike peg trails. Big toe box, great foam, stable, decent traction
r/Ultramarathon • Lower stack, high cushion shoe for technical 50+ milers ->Having just completed a trip to Europe with needing to hike, run, and tour cities… I brought three pairs of shoes to test out. Ended up being able to do the whole trip with white Pegasus Trail runners - they styled well with all my chinos and jeans, were incredibly comfortable, great traction, lightweight and truly look better than they should have. Yeah they showed dirt - might choose another color next time due to mud - but I won’t ever bring multiple pairs again.
r/running • The best do-it-all walking/traveling/hiking/running shoe ->I actually love my nike trail shoes! I have a normal nike Pegasus running sneaker, and a trail pegasus sneaker. I can hardly tell the difference except maybe the fabric, and how it's stiffer and more water resistant and wind resistant than my normal running shoes.
r/trailrunning • Trail running shoes that fit like road runners ->Nike peg trail had a surprisingly wide toe box. I had a massive bunion that required cutting open many of my running shoes and had surgery last year.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Looking for a bunion friendly trail race shoe, any recommendations? ->I love the Nike peg trail for running and agree they are some of the best looking trail shoes available. However I hate walking in them. Far too soft.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Trail Shoes that Look Street Stylish ->I just wore my 001s last weekend for the first time for two back to back trail long runs in Quebec. My initial reaction was “wow, these are worth every penny”. Incredibly comfortable from the first wear, although many people say they need a break in period. The outsole was so grippy I had tons of confidence on technical downhills and they fit my foot perfectly at a half size up. I do about 70-80mpw and just recently transitioned to about 50% of those being trail miles, so my only other trail shoe experience is Hoka Speedgoat 5 and Nike Peg Trail. However, I have about 15 pairs of road running shoes and I prefer these over all of them. Again, YMMV, but I absolutely love them after ~40 miles and I hear they get 500+ miles of use for most people. Also you have to get a .5 size up. 12.5 fit me perfectly and I’m a 12 in every other shoe. Lmk if you have more specific questions but I think the consensus on 001 is that if you have the money and want to spend it on a nice trail shoe, they are worth it!
r/trailrunning • Norda. Yes or no? ->Neutral shoes are fine because the terrain is so varied when trail running. Stability shoes on trails are a recipe for rolled ankles (have flat feet, run in Nike Peg Trails, Nike Terra Kigers, and Saucony Peregrines just fine)
r/trailrunning • Hey y’all, looking for shoe recommendations for a flat footed, severe over pronator, with narrow skinny feet. ->Local trails. Have ran the 50k. Minimal climbs and lots of sand. You can wear road shoes if you want. But if the construction is thin, it might tear up quicker than normal from sharp rocks. Grip will be no issue as it’s fairly flat. Highly recommended gaiters as you will fill your shoes with sand etc. My usual shoe of choice, Nike peg trail (recent - Nnormal Kerajg).
r/ultrarunning • Signed up for 100k in the desert, need shoe advice ->I have a a number of miles on the lights trails with a fewer versions of the Pegasus. Worked out well for me.
r/trailrunning • Best road shoe to use for running on trails? ->I like the Peg Trail for soaking up junk miles, but the prospect of doing a 100 in them makes me feel queasy. (I did do a 50 miler in them once, but wouldn't rush to repeat the experience)
r/Ultramarathon • Nike v. Hoka Trail Shoes for NON technical 100 ->I use a pair of Trail Pegs for daily use, and commuting. I still have other pairs reserved for running but I’ve been able to get 8 months to a year out of each pair. They’re on sale a lot on Nike’s website for <100$ too!
r/trailrunning • Using trail running shoes as daily shoes? ->Any recent Pegasus has a decent outsole that works on trails, as do a lot of Puma shoes with the PumaGrip outsole, namely the Deviate and the Velocity. Craft’s road shoes are all trail capable and I’ve been a fan of the CTM Ultra lineup as a trail-capable road shoe.
r/trailrunning • Best road shoe to use for running on trails? ->I love this shoe too, but it's limited by the high 10 mm drop and soft heel on more technical terrain. A 4 mm drop version of this shoe would be so awesome since they ruined the Kiger 10.
r/Ultramarathon • Lower stack, high cushion shoe for technical 50+ milers ->true pegasus was good for 3mos and 100 miles. plenty of friends also only rock boost too.
r/BuyItForLife • Anyone know of good quality trail running shoes that will withstand daily use? ->i really like my Nike trail runner, i bought a few pair of the first iteration of the pegasus goretex trail. Looks like they aren't as wide in the newer iterations, but they have held up really well and the react foam is great.
r/trailrunning • More durable trail runners w lugs? ->>... false sense of security so you roll/sprain your ankle worse. This was very true for me :) In my country the "old hiking rule" was that you always need high boots for mountains because they would protect your ankles. But it turns out that with high boots I had a false sense of security and was thus less careful when descending and consequently often twisted my ankle. The high shoe maybe helped a bit and prevented a harder sprain but it still hurt. I then switched to trail runners and I can see that I now walk way more carefully and have a way more precise foot placement than before. Consequently I haven't twisted my ankle ever since the switch. However it must be said that not all trail runners are equal in terms of stability and ground feel... La Sportiva Bushido which I have now are awesome but some Nike trail runners I had in the past were very bad and unstable.
r/hikinggear • Trail runners or hiking boots? ->I got nike trail runners and they work great. If theres a nike outlet store you can find them on sale.. I make sure I get just the right size and not too loose so they're not sloppy. Personally I put in the spenco runner gel insoles to reduce impact because I play on turf half the time. I also rock the mcdavid level 3 ankle braces om both feet s. This helps make sure I never roll my ankle. Hope this helps
