"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 toebox is too narrow for me and gives blisters on the outside of my big toes. ... the toe box is just too tight for me."
"They fit more rigid with more pressure points and have less room in the tow box. ... They were never as comfortable out of the box or hiking as a topo athletic shoe and I’ve had several pairs. ... I’m always very ready to take these shoes off at the end of the day.. ... after a long day, my feet feel like they were in a rock crusher since the cushion 0%."

Nike Wildhorse 8 for warm weather, Keen for cold weather.
r/onebag • What is your one shoe to rule them all? ->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 ->I ran a 100 miler on the WH 8. Dry gravel tracks and grass surfaces mostly. Went well. I have also ran 20 yards in de backyard in them on forest grouds. Not the fastest shoes but they feel comfy to me
r/trailrunning • Nike Wildhorse ->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
