#19 Best Men's Trail Running Shoes for 2024 VERY minimal wear. Worn for approx 1-2 hikes, totaling 10 miles. The Nike Zoom Wildhorse features "just right" lugs—neither too aggressive nor too subtle. The forefoot's rectangular lugs offer firm grip on both climbs and descents without risking ankle strain on uneven terrain. Reverse-oriented lugs in the heel help with traction during descents, and the low-profile tread on the edges prevents ankle twisting. With shallow lugs overall, it feels good on roads too. A 4mm drop and close-to-ground design make the shoe nimble on technical trails, and the midsole provides soft yet stable cushioning. The shoe uses Nike Free's foot shape mold, offering a snug fit without sliding or hotspots. The gusseted tongue blocks debris, and the rip-stop mesh upper is lightweight, breathable, durable, and debris-resistant. The tongue is short enough to avoid catching gravel. The wide toe box provides comfort, while the durable toe guard offers protection without being bulky. Incredibly comfortable, good cushioning, high stability.
