Zegama 1

Salomon Genesis for technical trails. Saucony Endorphin Edge for non-technical trails and non-technical races. OG Nike Zegama retired to short runs and family hikes. North Face Enduris 4. Great shoe, but returning them because the Vectiv plate digs into the sides of my feet. Brand new pair of Mount to Coast T1 that I haven’t had a chance to run in yet.

Road: Brooks Hyperions (~200 miles) - speed work during the week gets done on road Trail: Nike Zegama 1s (~300 miles) - main shoes for long training runs and races La Spo Bushidos (~350 miles) - shorter distance trail run and technical run shoes La Spo Prodigio Pros (~100 miles) - newer race shoes, adding to the long run rotation and will replace the Zegamas entirely once those finally die Salomon S/Lab Genesis (~100 miles) - all around trail shoe. Don’t love them but don’t hate them either so rotating these in on trail runs until they die eventually

If you like the fit of Nikes in general, the Zegamas are good shoes. I run in them, have done several ultras in them and like them, but shoe choices are very individual so it really depends on how they feel to you. Are you able to try them on at a local store?

I ran the entire wonderland trail and TMB trail in zegamas. They’re my favorite trail shoes. I can take them on anything and they feel great. I’ve run thousands of miles in the Zegama 1s and 2s. Both are fantastic imo. I’m a competitive runner and run fast on these trails too. Steep ups, steep downs. Technical terrain. Rarely a blister with those things too.

Yea they do. The 1s did too. It’s thin, nylon I think but it’s there.

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.

Zegamas are my favorite

hello everyone I am in a running hype. I started one month ago. I always start and end my runs on the same path so I know that I am going to be running on 3km of asphalt eitherway. I ran a simple 10k today and every path is basically gravel. I run 6-8km twice a week (zone 2 and tempo) and one long run. Planning on increasing distance once I got zone 2 figured out. What would be the best shoe for those kinds of paths? I am currently using the Nike Zoom X Zegama 1 Trail Running Shoe. I wore them for daily commutes because of their design. Now they are pretty worn out and I feel like better shoes would prove valuable. I love how cushioning they are but I also feel like that this effect has decreased. Most shoes I looked at are sold out for my size (42.5 EU) or too expensive. I have looked all over... would appreciate any input! I live in Germany and I am looking at a max of 150€

Yes. Classic "Feldweg" paths. I agree but I got the money and the motivation for something more suitable to last longer. Thing is that my Zegama 1s are pretty worn out... But I think about getting the Hoka Challenger 8

Thanks! I love the look of the Evo Sl Atr but I fear it's too unstable and reactive for a beginner like me. What do you think? I am currently pretty stable but my form probably is wrong anyway The pegasus trail 5 is much more stable (according to reviews) but looks meh (sorry haha). Definitely a choice tho I looked into the Hoka Challenger 8 which would be a good all rounder

May I ask for how long you have been running and what ur pace is? Ur slower pace like zone 2 I mean The ATRs are pretty reactive and for speedy ppl. I rarely get below 6". Realistic is 7min/km especially for a HM Thinking about the Hoka Challenger 8. Might not look as nice as the Adidas, but surely are more stable and beginner friendly
