"I sleep all night and no body aches."
"it was hands down the best night of sleep I’ve had in a tent."
"I just put up with the pinholes and patching them on trail because I can't sleep better on any other pad. ... There's a huge difference in comfort depending on your body between the dimpled baffling of the Etherlight/Tensor and the horizontal baffling of the Xlite. ... I can't sleep on horizontal baffling despite all the good features of the Xlite. ... I'm a side sleeper and my arms and shoulders ache and/or fall asleep or go numb on the Xlite. For whatver reason I can only sleep on dimpled baffles (tensor, etherlight)"

"Cascadias are super durable. ... When I was a letter carrier they were my shoe of choice- you could often find last year's model on sale, and the outsoles held up much better than many other brands over time."
"Salomon speedcross can take a beaten on the trails. ... Two pairs in 3 years with about 800 miles each pair."
"I've been on a pair of Salomon Thundercross for well over 1200km, and they're going strong."

"They also have the best sole material I’ve found for slippery mud and rocks."
"Absolutely love their shoes. ... One of my pairs is 5 years old and is in desperate need of repair but somehow still get me round semi mudi trails."
"imo x talons are excellent at wet rock"

"the Salomon Speedcross 6 works really really well for me, and not even in the wide size that they do make - just half a size up. ... Something about the upper design is extremely accommodating."
"they surprisingly fit my wide feet well. ... Both, my toe splay is very wide. And my mid foot is pretty wide. I was really surprised they worked for me"
"I also have wide feet (2E for most shoes) and got the Trabuco 12 in a half size up and they fit perfectly. ... Seems the forefoot area and toe box is wider than usual."

"all of the above ... performed like a champ at never summer 60K, whistler alpine meadows 55K, the super wet kalalau trail (maui), and much more!"
"the 10s are very stable ... Feels very stable, unlike the 8s. ... Midsole is a lot more stable than the 8s."

"Also, the grip was really crap, particularly when it’s a purpose built trail shoe."
"Sections of the trail were fairly muddy this time. ... It was there the shoe washed out over and over again. ... The experience was similar to trail running in road shoes. ... There was a total loss of grip. ... We also need to see a shoe with longer lugs and a better lug pattern to give confidence in wet conditions."
"Tried my Ultraventures on a recent high route in wet weather and fell twice on slick rock/moss, they are relegated to cutting the grass now."

"a pair of Salomon's that I didn't realize were Gore-Tex until it was too late and I abandoned in Leon."
"Too warm ... One big alert for Norda: the ventilation is bad. ... If you run in hot conditions, they will soak your feet within 30-45 minutes, so better beware."
"One thing that stood out as a massive negative was they didn't breathe at all. My feet were very hot."

"The only thing I don't like about these is that for very rooty trails the heel height really contributed to ankle rolls."

"fine sand gets in pretty easy"
This is just my opinion but I wear Mammut hiking boots and various Nike Trail runners. The Mammut boots are extremely comfortable, durable and waterproof. Offers great ankle support and are still very light boots. Nikes are just personally my favourite shoe to wear. I have a few of their trail runners. Gortex and non goetex types. Pegasus and Wildhorse. I really like the Pegasus versions. For what I put them through each pair last me about a year. But I do find them very comfortable and appreciate the weatherproofing for certain conditions. Some people may disagree as some are not fans of Nike, but this is just for my personal experience. Like many others have said it’s all about preference and the shape of your foot. One one shoe may fit great for one person, but may not fit great for somebody else. I’d suggest finding some outdoor store that has a good selection and trying on different brands to see what suits you.
r/hikinggear • Help me find the perfect travel/hiking shoe! ->Peg trails and the wild horses are my favorites right now. Terra Kigers are good too but I’ve just gone through 3-4 pairs of those.
r/discgolf • Disc golf shoes? ->ALTRA Wild 2 (4mm drop) if you want something reasonably priced, or the Wildhorse from NIKE (9/10) are good road to trail options that can see you through a lot. And both are really comfortable shoes. Asphalt all the way to "rocky" is a tough spectrum to cover it all, but those are the two that come to mind. Maybe try the TOPO Ultraventure 4, too, if you really need a wide toebox and some all purpose grip
r/trailrunning • Can you recommend an all-terrain running shoe for wide feet and a heavy build? ->I have and still use them. I don’t have wide toes so Altras never fit for me. Feels like my feet are slipping around in them. The Wildhorses are skinnier and my feet feel secure in them. Good traction for what I do.
r/trailrunning • Nike Wildhorse ->I have Nike trail runners, I love them-they have support in the toes for when you smash your foot in a root. I cramp badly if I eat as well-so following for the rest. 😊
r/XXRunning • Nutrition during runs, best hydration vests that don’t cost $100+ and best trail running shoes? ->I use my Nike Wildhorse trail runners and they are great. I also have a pair of waterproof Nike’s I will use when it is raining. Both cost under $100 and I wear them out and about.
r/discgolf • Disc golf shoes? ->What running shoes do you have for the trails? I have tried my Nike Wildhorse 10's in the snow and while they grip good they're low cut so snow hits the socks
r/trailrunning • Snow Running has Arrived ->I've tried my good old Nike Wildhorse 10's but they're not waterproof and quite low cut...definitely not the best for deeper snow as snow gets to the socks. They grip well though. Maybe I should I try snow running with my hiking boots lol
r/trailrunning • Snow Running has Arrived ->The last set of kigers or Wildhorses I have had was in 2014/2015. I’ll have to look into the new ones if they have fixed the previous issue.
r/trailrunning • New 2025 Nike trail shoes up in the Nike app ->I'm a road runner but I'm doing a trail race later in the summer and I purchased the WH10's to train and race in. I've only done one 5 mile run in them so far but they felt great. You definitely feel the big drop in these but it's nice having all that stack at the heel. Thanks for posting, there's not enough reviews on this shoe out there yet. Update us when you get more miles in!
r/trailrunning • Nike Wildhorse 10 ->Ran my first 10km run in the new Wildhorse 10s yesterday. I made a long comparison post with the Wildhorse 8s on r/runningshoegeeks but the Nazi mods deleted it. Anyway, first impressions are that the 10s are very stable, fairly nimble despite the middle stack height increase. Laces and lock down much improved over the 8s. Grip seemed good, but it was dry out. My 8s have done over 500km and the soles still look good for another 500, so hopefully the 10s new sole is also durable. One thing that stood out as a massive negative was they didn't breathe at all. My feet were very hot.
