AM: Nice LR w. Nick, Adam and Rivers on trails- Buffalo Park to Oldham, Rocky Ridge, up Shultz Creek and back down. A little flat from yesterday but that's to be expected. Felt like I could have kept going but wanted to be respectful of how much load I was putting on my healing tendon. Got home and somehow enticed to go on an hour hike then only had an hour or so before it was time to head up the mountain. Wowzers! Lot's of time on my feet today! Wore my new Nike Wildhorse trail shoes out of the box and they were awesome! Perfect fit and function.

PM: hard skin up the mountain w. J. Wolfe and E. Bohn.

Sounds like another fun day.

I was wondering if Nike had any trail shoes. I haven't noticed any in the running store up here. Maybe they don't carry the Nike brand.

NIke does have trail shoes. In my opinion the two best options are the Zoom Wildhorse and the Zoom Terra Kiger. Compared to other trail shoes that I've tried they feel incredible- not clunky or too rigid…just a smooth ride that still allow you to 'feel' the trail without banging your foot on rocks or losing footing. I really can't speak highly enough about them!

Here is a review of the Wildhorse which is a little more aggressive of the two.

And the Kiger:

Alicia, thanks for the links. Both were very informative. I think I would like the Kiger. I'm a big fan of the Nike Free. About three or four years ago I bought two pairs at the same time. They're so lightweight and durable. I wore the first pair for longer than two years as my everyday shoe and the only reason I retired them is because the soles were worn smooth. I'm about a year into the second pair.

I'm going to check out those shoes!
