[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love whoever was bold enough to put out a white trail shoe, it wonāt stay that way for long! Iāve 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 Zigerās now. Also love the reflective elements.
[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 Iāve 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. Iāve 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 doesnāt feel limited to one environment. It goes from trail to pavement to lifestyle wear⦠what an āall conditionsā shoe should be! No breaking in, right out of the box ready to go! Super solid for daily miles, hiking, or long treks.
Improvements in nearly every way from the previous two versions. I took them on an 18-mile high-altitude run/hike and experienced greater width, better grip, superior impact protection, and improved stability. However, the tongue on these is too short, and the midfoot has an issue: the laces have to be tightened a very specific way for a good midfoot lockdown. This is complicated by the short tongue. I got around the problem by undoing the first loop, pulling straight toward my body, then re-lacing using the first top eyelet on the outside and the closer eyelet on the inside. Similar issue to the Pegasus Trail 3. Not ideal; would be a 5/5 if the midfoot construction were a tad more dialed in. Still a vast improvement over the previous two versions by merit of stability and forefoot fit alone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nike Acg Zegama Trail is a complete trail running shoe. The shoe is built to provide comfort for miles. The Vibram outsole provides great grip on any terrain. The ZoomX midsole provides energy return during runs. The material of the upper is lightweight and molds to your feet. The Nike Acg Zegama Trail offers a complete performance design. However, if I could change one thing about this shoe it would be the color. Running trails in a white shoe just doesnāt mix well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off WOW! The all conditions were definitely applied in these ACG Zegama. I got the white color way with the pop of orange, which I thought was a nice touch. I tried these bad boys on multiple hikes and I must admit, I was surprised. The cushioning helped in multiple ways, as I was able to walk through different types of conditions without feeling it on my soles and yet super lightweight. Which for me are important factors for trail shoes. I also like how it has a high ankle cuff to help keep the debris out. If thereās anything I would change about these, it would be to add a reflective touch somewhere throughout the shoe. As someone who does outdoor activities at night, having the reflective touch would help catch peopleās attention. Overall I am impressed by how lightweight and comfortable these are. I look forward to many more hikes with these ACG Zegama.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first received this order, I didnāt know how I felt about the design of the shoes in person. I started wearing them day 1, they were a bit tight at first and the bottoms seemed stiff. I wear a lot of road running shoes so the comfortability was a bit different to start. I walked for a few miles on a road trail, the shoes felt more comfortable as I got used to them. They really stood out on the dirt path. They were very comfortable. I walk a lot during the day, and once these are ābroken inā or youāre used to them, they can easily be an all day shoe. I did walk in them for probably 12 miles before I ran in them on the road trail, 3 miles. After that was the dirt trail. They seemed to loosen up about the 3rd wear. I got quite a few compliments each time Iāve worn them. The materials are premium and breathable. I could use these shoes anywhere. I would really enjoy more color options!!
Love acg shoes they are perfect for hiking
