Like Giant Clown Shoes

I am unable to wear these for the same reason I am unable to wear all Nikes - and most other brands - these days. They are SO GIANT. I wear a women's 11 but have low volume feet. All sneakers these days seem to be constructed of one giant piece of material/fabric, like a giant loose sock. They do not contour to the foot and are just way too voluminous. On top of that, the sole splays out in every direction by an inch or more. The sole sticks out in the back so far beyond my natural heel that I keep bumping it on steps when trying to walk down them. The sole splays out to the left and right so far that I have lost any nimbleness that I once had when running. The shoes are making my feet require twice the amount of ground space they once did. I assume this design serves some purpose, and I assume there are people out there who like it. But some of us hate it, and can Nike not offer a running shoe option for us? I just want an old fashioned shoe where the sole goes straight up and down instead of splaying out to the back and sides. I don't need a sole that has three times the surface area of my actual foot. I don't want to feel like I am running with giant clown shoes on. I want something slim and nimble and foot-shaped and foot-sized. Further, I found it very annoying that the insoles in these shoes are glued in. I don't know if all Nikes are like that or just these, but it makes it impossible for people who want to use their own insoles. Ugh.

Comfy, But Had To Drop 1/2 A Size.

I have 6 pairs of the Wildhorse 8s, so I was hoping these would be just as comfy. They have enough differences that I'm not decided yet on whether these are going to be my new go to. I ended up having to buy a 1/2 size down as my usual size was too big. I don't know if that was a fluke, or if these just don't fit the way the last iteration did. We'll see with my next color choice. Overall, comfy and supportive.

Thumbs Up!

The wild horse 10 is a pretty incredible shoe- and I’m very pleased with this purchase. Nice overall cushioning and stability as well as support. Quite nice looking also!

My Favorite Shoes!

These shoes are amazing for hiking and also regular working out. I wear them all the time I have multiple colors. I wish they made more colors and sizes!

Unhappy

Disappointed. These run small and narrow compared to the old Nike Wildhorses and the materials feel cheaper as well. Colors are great but the fit and feel is not the same.

Good, On The Narrow Side

Comfortable, but I found them to be on the narrow side. The sole helps you rock through your step. Rugged laces are a brilliant touch to keep them done up as you navigate terrain

Wildhorse

Great looking shoe. Goes with every day wear Athletic Pocketed Leggings. Sherpa Vest. I don’t mind that.

Mostly Good With A Few Things To Note

In some ways these are 5 star shoes but it depends on what you're expecting. In the past I've done a lot of trail running and these shoes lack good lateral stabilization that I've had in previous trail running shoes. If you're worried about rolling an ankle or are going to be running on very uneven surfaces I don't recommend these. Also I found the toe box to feel weirdly wide. For reference I've measured my feet and they're only a hair more narrow than medium width. Now on to the Pros. There's a ton of padding and they feel spongey. I didn't expect this from looking at the photos but the curve of the heel and toe combined with the stiff base create kind of a rolling effect that helps to propel me slightly. If I'm feeling a little tired (I have chronic illness so that can be a problem), these shoes give me an extra boost and make it easier to move. I expect that I'll wear them around the house on days when I'm feeling a bit fatigued to give me a little extra help. I usually wear the Nike Free which has a lot of flexibility in the sole to help maintain the muscles in my feet but these are a good addition for the days when I need a little help. For someone who's just starting out with trail running on a well manicured, smooth trail these would be a pretty good choice.

Great For Lower Back/hips/knees

I have sciatica, lower back/hip issues and was trying to find something to ease me out of a recent flare up and get me back to my long walks/hikes with less pain and issues. These work!! So much easier on my knees, supportive and the cushion is great but not so much that it feels awkward. Sometimes too much padding hurts too. These are just right. When you find something that helps you get back to what your body loves - it’s a big deal. Please don’t change the basic structure of these in future versions! They’re fantastic.

Gorgeous

I got these shoes as one of my birthday gifts from hubby I’m so in love they are gorgeous and super comfortable I’m buying another pair . Perfect for workout and healthcare workers

Bring Back The 8’s

I bought these to replace my wildhorse 8’s. I am obsessed with the 8’s! They have been the best trail shoe I’ve ever worn so far. I was really hopeful I would love the 10’s too. Overall I think the 10’s are similar to the 8’s and most people would probably really like them. However, they caused pain on the outside of my left foot right around the midsole. It was to the point that my foot was sore for a few days after. I tried wearing them for a few more trail runs hoping I just needed to break them in, but the pain did not improve. I ended up returning them and searching the internet for the 8’s.

Perfect All Around Shoe

I’ve had these shoes for several months now and I’ve put many miles on them already. These are the best running shoes I have ran in in several years. I struggled for a long time trying to find a shoe with a high heel to toe drop, good tread, and enough cushion to prevent knee pain no matter what type of surface I was running on. The heel to toe drop on this shoe is perfect, the cushion is excellent, and the tread is amazing. I wear these running on trails, roads, and to work. I even wear them on light hikes. They are the all around prefect shoe. Nike please don’t change anything but the color options in the future.

Great Traction A Little Wobbly

I purchased these for hiking and to play recreational softball in. These are first pair of shoes I've owned with a thicker sole and it feels a little unstable on uneven ground, but I've started to get used to them in that sense. Other than that, the traction due to the nubby sole is amazing. Haven't slipped on dry dusty inclines or declines or while changing direction. I think I'd purchase again.

I love this shoe, the cut the colors and the comfortability design of the fit of the shoe. Need more women colors.

Huge Update.

Completely different from prior version of Wildhorse. More forefoot space but the thicker material of upper give a little less volume. Not horrible, I'll just wear thinner socks. Feel great on trails, very springy.
