Wildhorse 3

Once upon a time I was around 200lbs (as a 5’2”ish girlie) and never had any complaints about my Altra Timps. This year I lost 75lbs and found that I like the Altra Olympus for a cushier ride on long runs. 10/10 for both shoes, but Altras do seem to wear faster than my Nike Wildhorse used to (I loved the 5 and every model since has been a flop for me). I get 300-350ish miles on them before the tread starts coming apart. If they change the Timp radically when they update it they will rue the day (and I’ll prob finally try out Mount to Coast).

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.

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

I like Nikes. I haven’t tried Innov8 but I’ve tried Hoka and Salomon and don’t like their uppers. Their grip is fine. But the Peg Trail, Wildhorse and Zegama all fit me so much better.

Love the Nike trail shoes. I prefer the wildhorse over the Pegasus though. I feel like I get better traction…but maybe that’s cause I can’t hit a fairway.

I've a pair of Nike trail wild horses. Good tracks on the soles hard but not too hard

Nike Wildhorse, they have a plate to ease rocks on your feet. I’ve tried a few others, always seem to put on the wild horse.
