Comfort

Very comfortable, I got them for hiking. Perfect!!

This shoe is a gold find for me, personally. I have tried a limited number of trail shoes and none fit or perform consistently the way this shoe does. It isn’t perfect but as a complete package, it delivers. I have a wide forefoot and have had quite a difficult time discovering a shoe that fits as well as the Wild horse. There is room for complete foot expansion and there are no hot spots that have resulted from this shoe on my feet. Three weeks ago, I completed my first 100 mile race and I used the Wild horse 7 for the duration of the entire event. I had one blister form on my heel that I estimate formed as a result of wearing the same socks for the entire race. (my replacement pair got wet) and was no fault of the shoe at all. The last trail shoe I wore from a different brand in a 100k (coupled with my rookie knowledge) resulted in my feet needing med aid to tape them up at an aid station. The shoe works like it’s name. I am a novice ultra enthusiast. I live in the PNW. My experience in this shoe in training took me through dry, wet, snow, and muddy conditions. I watched many YouTube reviews about this product and heard similar responses: “great for dry trails but not wet or muddy terrain”. From my experience, I found them very reliable in dry, rocky and gravel trails but they also handled snow and ground wet conditions well also. Mud on the current tread was manageable. The exceptions I can mention were stepping on large rocks or slick tree roots in slippery conditions. However, with limited trail shoe experience, I wondered how many trail shoes actually provide immovable traction in every running environment regardless of weather. Whatever the case, for me, the secure fit and comfort of this shoe is a grand equalizer to those challenges. If you have not tried the Wild horse, I highly recommend giving them a green light! As for me, I see them as my go to primary trail shoe going forward.

Great Shoes!

True to size and love the colors! I’m matching with the mrs too.

Not My Pair Of Trail Running Shoes

Not happy with this pair of Nikes. Did an ultra of 60km and around the 15th km I started to feel that something is wrong with the hill/thread on the right side of both shoes. Soon I was with blisters on both feet and suffered a big time or more precisely- 45km. However, I finished the race and damaged seriously my feet. It took some time to recover from the blisters and bruises. These shoes are not suitable for long ultra runs with serious elevation. Disappointed! Probably my last Nikes.

Ultramarathon Shoe

I have been wearing the Wildhorse shoes for many years. I absolutely love them! I've completed six 50k's and four 100-mile ultras wearing them. You get maximum protection from the rocky trails, and they are very balanced for rugged terrain. The wide toe box allows for good feel on the trail and minimizes blisters.
