Runner’s World Review
The Wildhorse’s Gore-Tex layer makes it excellent for both muddy trails and snowy streets. It is the most rugged of Nike’s trail models, with a puncture-resistant rock plate in the forefoot and Zoom Air cushioning in the heel. The upper is a bit bulkier, but testers said it provided a supple wrap. An obvious upturn in the toe rolls your stride forward.

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
