Wildhorse 10

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

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

If you opt for a higher drop, go with the Wildhorse 10. It has a close to 10mm drop. The only caveat is this trail running shoe doesn’t come with Vibram outsoles, but overall it’s decent with rugged 4-5 multidirectional, Y-shaped high abrasion lugs under Nike’s ATC outsoles.

I love the Peg 41 for treadmill work, so for a while I was wearing the Peg Trail 5 for my trail running. But whenever it was distance HM or longer, my feet would feel absolutely beat up afterward. I switched to the Nike Wildhorse 10, and I like that the fit feels similar to the Pegasus, but the tread is much more rugged. I took them for a short run on the trails today, and they felt great! Gonna give them a try for a 30K I have coming up, and I’m hoping they provide more protection for my feet

Wildhorse10 is a pretty cushioned shoe as well. Of course you can go fast in it but I bought my Wildhorse with the longer slow days. If you are thinking more of a responsive fast shoe and like Nike then I would recommend looking at the Kiger10. Kiger is a light and responsive shoe, shorter stack and gets good grip. They switched to Vibram on the Kiger10

I really love the Nike Kiger. It’s a light lower stack, really great ground feel but pretty responsive (for a trail shoe). I also really like Nike wildhorse 10 for a higher cushion when desired. For reference on the road I also run in the Adidas Evo SL and been loving that shoe. I’ll say what I look for in a road shoe and what I look for in a trail shoe can be different characteristics though.

I was just about to make a similar post because I’m also looking for a Pegasus Trail 4 replacement.  I just bought a pair of Wildhorse 10s that I’m going to return because I don’t like the aggressive heel rocker.  That said, I used the 4s as a general walker/everyday shoe and think that when jogging at pace, the rocker would be less of an issue or maybe even welcome.  Rocker and ever so slightly lower drop aside, the Wildhorse 10 is pretty darn close to a Peg 4 with slightly more cushion.
