Nike Wildhorse 10 Trail Shoes

The Author Taking Some Freshies on their Inaugural Miles

I grabbed these babies on sale at the end of last year. The Wildhorse 7s and 8s were such great winter runnners, that I kept the streak alive and picked up these 10s to supplement the Zegama 2s that I picked up last fall.

I was able to test them out on a pair of runs in snowy/icy conditions the week of New Years. Temps for both runs were in the low teens (my Camelbak hose froze up both times). My initial impression was that the midsole has gotten a bit stiffer in this iteration. In hindsight, that may have just been because of the low temps hampering elasticity. I was otherwise totally pleased with them. They breath well and I didn’t have any close calls on the ice, even on the inclines and declines. Hoping to get a lot of good miles out these during the colder months.

I have worn them on a number of trail runs in the Catskills this fall, starting with an 18 miler and a 10 miler in pretty quick sequence.Continue reading
