[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m shocked how much I love these shoes! At first unboxing I thought they looked huge/super cushiony, I did a side by side to my normal running shoe same size. When you put them on you sink into the sole, the 4mm heel to toe drop sits the foot perfectly for minimalist style shoes with the surprisingly lightweight foam. I really liked the touch of the ankle cuff, giving a snug fit at ankle and laces but keeping bugs and dirt out. Can’t go wrong with the vibram grip, no rolling or uneven planting of the foot on weird terrains! Size wise, go with your normal running shoe size! Don’t worry about the look of the shoe size, it fits just as you’d expect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love whoever was bold enough to put out a white trail shoe, it won’t stay that way for long! I’ve been running in the Nike Terra Kiger and was hoping for a bit more cushion on longer trail runs and these have been so comfortable. This is my first Nike trail shoe in the new ACG era and I think the rebrand is brilliant and Nike is coming to play. I never got to run in past versions of the Zegama but I already appreciate the aggressive vibram lugs and gentle wrap on the heel counter collar. Just a little something to give some bonus protection. I might be running in these more than the Ziger’s now. Also love the reflective elements.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I really enjoy this ACG trail running shoe. The moment I put the shoe on, I was amazed with how comfortable they were. The materials used in the shoe are well thought out the outsole is great for all conditions. The height of the shoe comes right above the ankle and gives a slight compression feel around the ankle, which is great for stability. The soul provides great traction and the rigid bottoms help with running on all different surfaces. The overall design is basic but in a good way, she provides all the comfort that you’ll need and the classic black-and-white color scheme make it easy to put on with any outfit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh my goodness. I have never experienced a shoe so light in weight, excellent in comfort, superior in breathability and traction. I love the technology provided in the ACG Zegama shoe whether on or off trail. Perfect for All Conditions. The outer mesh panel makes for superior breathability in any physical activity and also dries quickly if any moisture is detected. The extended mesh sock liner adds to the breathability and comfort allowing for multi directional motion of the ankle. I would recommend sizing up a half size for full comfortability and am overall impressed with the style and technology provided with this shoe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon recieving these shoes and after the first couple of wears I thought this shoe was very uncomfortable as it gave me this pain in the heel area of my foot. Once I wore them a couple more times, for a little longer runs, I feel like the shoes broke in a little more. Since then, it has been such a comfortable and supportive shoe that I have since started wearing them every day. I am even wearing them to work now since I am on my feet in a shop and in the parking lot the majority of the time. Whether you grab these for style, comfort, performance, or any other reason...these shoes will not let you down!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes feel like they are designed to keep the feet as comfortable as possible for every type of outdoor terrain. The ankle support in particular felt very secure with plenty of cushion on the heel to help with potential planting of the feet during activities like hiking. The softer fabric, specifically around the ankle, feels unlike any other outdoor style shoe I’ve worn. It does not feel rough or jagged and emphasizes a smooth-to-the-touch approach. My favorite part about the shoe is the support around the heel area. As an avid outdoor walker, this is very important as it does allow for a much more comfortable style for longer miles put into multiple terrain during walks.
Nike really improved the Zegama with this version. The ZoomX foam feels smooth, responsive, and surprisingly durable across all types of terrain. I’ve used them on dirt trails, rocky sections, and even road miles between trailheads, and they handled everything well without feeling unstable. The grip feels more confident, thanks Vibram! What I like most is that this shoe doesn’t feel limited to one environment. It goes from trail to pavement to lifestyle wear… what an “all conditions” shoe should be! No breaking in, right out of the box ready to go! Super solid for daily miles, hiking, or long treks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are amazing on slippery trails in the NC mountains (we’ve had a lot of rain lately). I was able to fully submerge them in a creek with my dog and they dried quickly and remained comfy for the duration of the hike. I usually wear socks with shoes but surprisingly these almost seem better without socks. The built in sock thing keeps dirt and gravel from getting lodged in the shoes when walking through water. The tread on these shoes is very thick and grippy. I would definitely recommend these shoes for trail activities. I might would size down a half size for a snug fit.
So I have a wide foot more so in the forefoot (bunion) area, and most Nikes that I’ve tried don’t accommodate for that very well. I went a .5 size up in these and let me tell you, these are insanely comfortable. I haven’t ran in them yet but I stand for work 7 hours a day and they’ve felt amazing 3 days straight. They’re so dope looking too. The little Achilles elastic situation feels amazing too. I’m very impressed by these sneakers! The cushion is on the softer side. I weigh around 180 and you get some squish but nothing insane.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ACG Zegama shoes do exactly what they say. Comfortable and stable for trail running. The wide toe box is excellent for maintaining stability on rough terrain. The mesh upper breathes really well. I haven’t tried it out in wet conditions/creeks but it feels like it would dry quickly. The ZoomX foam is my absolute favorite across Nike shoe lines. The ankle cuff prevents pebbles and dirt from causing irritation which is a great detail. The fit is true to size and their stylish/rugged appearance is a plus.
