"all of the above ... performed like a champ at never summer 60K, whistler alpine meadows 55K, the super wet kalalau trail (maui), and much more!"
"the 10s are very stable ... Feels very stable, unlike the 8s. ... Midsole is a lot more stable than the 8s."

"The only problem I ever have with them is it seems their toe box is too narrow compared to other brands. Hard on the feet with long runs."

"The only thing I don't like about these is that for very rooty trails the heel height really contributed to ankle rolls."
"a death trap on wet rock - even slightly damp from sea mist."
"almost broken their ankles? ... I had more falls and near falls with these shoes than any other."

Advance-Murky 1.0Nike Wildhorse 8 for warm weather, Keen for cold weather.
allweloveweleavebhnd 1.0Once 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).
Away-Evening-6547 1.0Came 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.
Badpoepert 1.0I 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
BigRimur 1.0This 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.
climbinguy 1.0Peg 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.
Commercial_Piano4384 1.0ALTRA 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
crackleanddrag 1.0I 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.
Creepy-Round-6862 0.1I 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. 😊
Deep-Lavishness-1305 1.0I 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.
