"will last you forever as they are absolute tanks"
"amazed how the quality resembles logitech g pro 1"
"The VXE R1 PRO has the Huano Blue Shell Pink Dot switches that are truly legendary and has no problems in the long run whatsoever in terms of double clicking or becoming mushy or anything really."

"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)"

"the splay in the toes is naturally better with that wide toe box"
"My foot (as measured by Fleet Feet's scanners) is D width (women's wide) at the forefoot and my heels are really narrow so Topo's shape works well for me."
"I think I have a similar foot to you - front is wide due to bunions but the rest of my foot is regular width. I absolutely love my Topos"

"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."

"The tongue of the shoe has a very stiff edge. ... It wasn’t that noticeable on shorter 5-8 mile runs, but then when I used them on a 20 mile long run, they shredded my socks and bruised both my ankles and cut one of them open. ... I’ve never had anything like that happen with any other shoes, never had any discomfort or rubbing from a shoe tongue like that before."
"they had zero cushion/give (IMO) ... I won’t buy them again because I like a little more comfort."
"Feels very stable, unlike the 8s. ... Midsole is a lot more stable than the 8s."

"downhills my feet were all over the place"
"I’m not convinced the Zegama is suitable for terrains that are moderate and up in terms of technicality. ... And I’m not convinced they can hold up on slippery surfaces. ... If I’m going to go for a mountain run with small rocks and tree roots, where there might be some damp/water, I’m going to reach for another shoe."

"The only thing I don't like about these is that for very rooty trails the heel height really contributed to ankle rolls."
"the zegama defintilty felt lower and more normal to me than the wildhorse"
Came here to comment exactly this. I'm 6'2", 190lb (188cm/87kg). Daily trail runner in Switzerland, running 70-80km/week. I have the Trabuco Max 2 and Max 3. Version 4 is the most recent launch. By far the most comfortable trail shoes I've ever owned. They just work perfectly for me. Have over 1000km in the 3's, so super durable too. Also own Hoka Stinson 6 (bit soft), Brooks Caldera 6 (too firm, never softened up), Altra Olympus 6 (midsole felt dead from the start) and Nike Wildhorse 7 (most comfortable upper of any shoe but midsole a bit thin) but none are as good for me as the Trabuco Max.
r/trailrunning • Cushioned Trail Shoes Recommendations ->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? ->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 ->Normally run Salomons as well, but just did the Ultra in Nike Wildhorses and loved them
r/spartanrace • Shoe recommendations? ->Same, I did 10 miles in mine yesterday on trails. Feet felt great. I usually prefer Topos but these were on clearance at a Nike outlet and they felt good. Very happy with the purchase.
r/trailrunning • Nike Wildhorse ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
