Air Zoom Terra Kiger 6

Nike Kiger 5, Nike Kiger 6, Nike WildHorse 8 (everyday shoes), Nike Zegama, and now Nike Zegama 2.

Here’s my contribution. I haven’t done controlled tests like you did, but I run a lot of rocky vertical terrain and have put lots of miles in all these shoes. Trying to focus here on wet rock grip from the outsole and ignore other shoe attributes (fit, lock down, flexibility/stiffness, weight, cushion, etc) that also come into play with their overall ability to do the job on wet rock 5: VJ Maxx 1&2 VJ Spark Arcteryx Norvan VT (limited mileage) 4.

Old Nike Terra kiger Salomon s/lab sense 1, 2, 3 For spiked shoes, I actually think they suffer quite a bit on rock because they don’t stick instantly like pure rubber soles. 4. VJ Devil 4 3.

I mostly wear Topos but got the Terra Kigers on sale recently. They are awesome shoes

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)

I live in Corvallis, but I wear Nike Terra Kiger and Altra Lone peak

I’ve only worn various generations of Altra Lone Peaks and Nike Terra Kigers and won races in both pairs, so they’re my favorite fast trail shoe.

Terra kiger , thank me later

Peregrines were my first trail shoe and are a good place to start. The new models are not getting as good of reviews though. Olympus have a moderately high stack. Might look at the Altra Timp or even Lone Peak. I really like the Nike Terra Kiegers and they are on sale I think.
