Trail Shoe Battle: Nike Wildhorse 5 versus Wildhorse 6 | BIG Updates

[@ryankiewiet5862]

Currently running in the Nike Wildhorse 6. Tried the Altra Timp 2 also but the Wildhorse fits the heel so well! The rock plate is huge for the very rocky trails here in Phoenix. Wildhorse 6 is definitely worth a look!

[@landyncb8751]

We love those double uploads!!

[@cyrusseEr_Ly]

You have a great personality. I feel very impressed with your personality.

[@kmgates]

Seth! Love the split frames with you and b-roll. You are always great inspiration for running and video production.

[@joshcontreras8821]

Qd: i have 2. The speedgoat 3 because i liked the cushion and the topo ultraventure because feels good

[@petermuller6903]

Out of new trail running shoes I bought the La Sportiva Jackal which came out this spring, La sportiva's first ultra trail shoe. Incredible!!! Greetings from Salzburg/Austria!!!

[@fuzzyduckize]

QD: Saucony Peregrine ISO

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

man you all are fast! 7th

[@hankmancil178]

Seth James DeMoor now if I could only get as fast as you on the roads and trails.😂💪🏃🏻‍♂️

[@DanRuns]

Haha

[@sammacneil7790]

Great video Seth

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

THANKS Sam for tuning in

[@sammacneil7790]

@@SethJamesDeMoor have to say since coming back to running your videos have been a huge motivation for me and has changed my mind set about 🏃

[@steevie76]

Two uploads in one day?! Double! 🏃🏃

[@patrickcarroll334]

I have the wildHorse 5 and totally agree with you. A great road to trail shoe. One of the few that have accomplished this tricky combo i feel.

[@ricodelavega4511]

QD: brooks cascadia 13. It's the only legitimate trail running shoe I own. I got it for $49 from running wareh******, plus a running group discount brought it down to $42

[@phillipoyer3407]

I’m rotating the Hoka Torrent, Hoka Speedgoat 3 and the new Adidas Terrex Two Boa. My plan for this year was the Torrent and Speedgoat, but when I saw the updates on the Terrex Two I had to try them. It is super wide and stable with a ton of Lightstrike cushioning. Plus I really like the Boa lacing system on them.

[@doom4067]

It looks like they designed the Wildhorse 6 more for mud. The fewer lugs should help to not pick up as much mud, and the extra foam around the ankle would help with stability.

[@amuzamentsepulcral4042]

It would be interesting to see a cheap/relatively cheap shoe battle. Downshifter 9 vs adizero rc2(adidas sl20) vs under armour charged impulse vs saucony type a9. Abebe Bikila won a marathon barefoot. Kipchoge used to wear the zoom streak and he did very well in these. If things go on like this, in 5 years, running shoes could go for over 500usd, which is absolutely insane.

[@mattz5162]

Asics Venture...It was on sale at Shoe Carnival.

[@dinkthinks3958]

Running long trail in the Speedgoat 3 and shorter stuff in the Wildhorse 5! Great review! This 6 seems like it’s a middle ground between what I’m currently alternating. Might be my new “go to” when I’m due!

[@sahacking]

Those smaller, closely spaced lugs on the Wildhorse 5 are mud collectors here on the trails in Thailand. I have some Adidas trail shoes that have larger, more widely spaced lugs that actually look very much like those on that new Wildhorse 6, and they are so much better on muddy trails. But as Seth said, if you have to run a few miles on pavement before and after your trail run, and your trails are not too muddy or technical, the smaller, more closely spaced lugs would be good.

[@ntom5]

2 VIDEOS IN ONE DAY? What did we do to deserve this??!! BEST DAY !!!

[@hankmancil178]

Natalie Tom This not uncommon for him to do. Great work ethic!

[@eddiecruz9139]

Ordered mine can’t wait thanks for the reviews.

[@Martha-fluterunner]

Brooks Pure Grit, works as a “commuter shoe”

[@marianoamicarelli1965]

QD: I’m switching between Peregrine ISO, Pegasus 36 Trail, and Terra Kiger 6. Can’t wait for more trail shoe reviews!! Keep it up Seth!!

[@daniellynch2682]

QD: Walsh PB Ultra. Lightweight old fashioned tech. No bells or whistles. Handmade to this day in Northern England

[@alvaropacheco5891]

Congratulations, your videos are fantastic !!! I am now using the Brooks Divide and they have been a discovery. Cushioned, stable, very comfortable (somewhat wide upper not valid for very narrow feet). A question: I have seen many videos where the stability of Wildhorse 6 was criticized, because instead you say that they are very stable? Thanks and congratulations on the work you do!

[@Paddle_dude]

Very informative, not a huge fan of Nike shoes. But maybe I'll give these a shot. Right now I'm running in Altra Superiors and Topo Hydro entire 2. Love them both.

[@Jasonhimstedt1979]

My second pair of Wildhorse 5. I love them so much I have several on ice!

[@PeteBoraso]

ooops

[@julienb.4309]

QOD: I used recently my Vomero 14 as a commuter, and I really enjoyed them more in forest or light trail as they feel less stiff than on concrete. My Hoka speed instinct 2 are my "Go to" shoes on more technical trails... And I use once a year my old Salomon speedcross 3 in muddy conditions.

[@melleketting5669]

Running the Wildhorse5 after you recommended it last year. Switching it up with a Hoka Clifton6 and Hoka Atr5

[@spacemanstanly]

QD: Brooks Cascadia 14’s are my go to trail runners right now. Picked them up back in late 2019 when they first came out because they’re built like a tank in terms of durability, they updated the outsole of the shoe to something very similar to a lot of Solomon shoes, and the shoe lost over an ounce from the previous year!

[@deanphanpraphou9639]

Hey Seth I love watching your vids and reviews with different brands of running shoes and keeping the vibe upbeat. Can you do a review for the Nike Pegasus 37 in the future and compare it to the Asics Novablast to see which one is better?

[@petetracey4023]

Morning Seth - Brooks Cascadia 14 vs Caldera 4 please. Cascadia has been around forever and now its younger brother is kicking up the dirt. Would Love your opinion... Last season I ran in the Caldera 2. Thx!

[@patrickcarroll334]

La Sportiva Kaptiva and Helious. Have you tried any La Sportiva shoes? Would be very interested to see and hear what you think.

[@benjaminbrushaber5220]

Do you think the Wildhorse 6 would be a good option for ultras like a 50k or 50 miler?

[@skyliner35202]

Just waiting for your Pegasus 37 review💪💪💪

[@htmonaro1969]

You talk about the Wildhorse 5 being a commuter shoes, I love the Pegasus 36 Trail, how does this compare to either Wildhorse as a commuter shoes?

[@richardhkirkando]

QD: Did 14 miles with a lot of elevation gain and every surface type imaginable in my Hoka Speedgoat 3s yesterday. Can't complain. I typically use these when trying a new trail where I don't know what to expect, because they do everything pretty well. Last week I ran the Inov-8 Trailroc 285s on some fairly technical mountain bike trails. They performed amazing, but the not quite the comfort of the Hokas - don't like taking these much past 7 or 8 miles.

[@jimduyck]

QoD - I picked up the Terra Kiger 5 last year for trail race day. Still love it, and with only 50 miles in them, lots of life left for 2020. At the opposite end of the spectrum, I did just pick up the HOKA Speedgoat 3 on clearance today. Excited to bomb with that this summer...still hoping to hit up Quandary Peak this summer if our vacation plans hold. 🙏

[@cameronames64]

Seth have you ran in the Nike Terra Kiger 6 yet?

[@Morfeusm]

QD: Speadgoat 4W and AT5 GTX. I also still own ATR4s but it has holes (after 300 miles!) in them lol so maybe two last runs... SG are for racing, those quick nimble feet. ATRs I use as daily trainer also on runs with mixed surfaces but oh boy those goratex shoes are heavy!

[@aaronroman3423]

Seth I think the back is for support no? It does look good lol, you the best great video

[@johanpettersson-evers5367]

QD; Hoka EVO Speedgoat. Simply the best trail shoe I've ever owned. Reached 400 miles recently and even though it has lost some energy its still a nice ride. Super psyched for a version 2 during 2020 but haven't heard anything about that.

[@arronpalmer2773]

Hey seth! Brilliant video.. really want to get the wildhorse 6. I know you said the 5 were more of a commute shoe.. but could I also run pavement with the 6?

[@dylannowak3226]

QD : - Salomon S/Lab Wings 8 SG ( Wet times / muddy ground ) - Salomon S/Lab Wings 8 ( dry ground )

[@chloetaylor6040]

do you think the wild horse 6 could also be used as a commuter shoe? i really like the shoe and would like to try it but am worried about wasting money if you don’t think it could work as a commuter shoe compared to the wild horse 5. thanks!

[@jp3202]

I have been running in the 5s for about 9 months and my only complain is wet traction. I ordered the new version 6 and really was excited but I just couldn’t get the same level of midfoot lockdown as in the 5s. My foot is very low volume though for perspective. I did run some wet muddy trails with one shoe on each and was surprised that the traction of the 6s were really the same for the most part despite the drastic change in lug design and layout. I was expecting a big improvement which I didn’t feel. The gator was awesome and the cushioning was definitely nicer than in the 5s. For me the 5s just fit better after they had broken in. Picked up another pair for 60 bucks!

[@josimar73]

Is the sizing the same between WH 5 and 6? Nike Wildhorse 5 (45), Hoka Speedgoat 3 (44 2/3), Adidas Terrex two boa gtx (44 2/3). Love them all.

[@miler2237]

QOD: I have the Wildhorse 5, Altra Superior & Pegasus 36 Trail. I fell in love with the Wildhorse 4, ran my first 50 miler and other trail races, loved the weigh, cushion and comfort, but cannot get now, so I bought the 5. Altra is light, fast and grips great, just faster races. Pegasus Trail, well something new to try, falls between both the others.

[@ericwhite80five]

QD: Hoka Speedgoat 4 GTX. My wife got them for me for Xmas because the winters in the northeast are rough. Came in handy on the snow covered ground and slushy wet conditions. Feet stay dry and warm👍🏻

[@RIHTZ]

QD: Wildhorse 6 baby!! favorite shoes I've run in in quite a while.

[@daved4753]

QOD: just ordered a pair of Peg 36 trails, good discounts on those at the moment and the “hybrid” setup of them suits what I’m doing at the moment.

[@alexp8931]

Hey seth could you compare the asics novablast and Nike pegasus turbo

[@frre9302]

Innov8 TrialTalon 275 and I hate it! :D It felt good in the shop, but out there it's way too stiff for me. But as I go just a little offroad, as I miss big mountains here, there was no need for replacing them yet...

[@RowOfMushyTiT]

I have 2 pairs of Kiger 5's with 900 and 500 km on them. Still rotating both.

[@mikowhy9608]

QD: Speedcross 5 did a great job in winter races. Now having a well deserved shoe holidays ;) a trail Pegasus have taken over. I like them a lot with dry conditions, road sections and no steep hills on the way. It's so good I got a second pair - a Gyakusou Pegasus. Too bad it traded a toe comfort for style 🤨 I stil look for a long distance comfort shoe - maybe a limo from Hoka...? 😎

[@runningwithaj]

QD I've got a pair of Salomon XA Elevate. Got them last year on special and haven't tried any others. Just bought a mate a pair of sense ride 2s for his birthday and they look awesome!

[@NSFL1]

Do you have a Recommendation for a trailshoe for wide feet? I get blisters from every trailshoe I try... I am considering a Topo trailshoe..

[@XrngpkX]

QOTD: Currently using the Terra Kiger 5! I like it but after running a good bit on gravel roads the soft outsole is really wearing down pretty quick. Saving it for softer terrain which it does great on.

[@addisonfarmer2515]

Would the Wildhorse 6 be good for hiking?

[@alexlee5617]

QD: Hoka One One Speedgoat 3, great trail shoe, I love it!

[@oriel29]

now rotating between Hoka Evo Mafate and Salomon Sense Ride 3

[@genysmenrunner1677]

Do you like this better than the saucony mad river or hoka speedgoat 4?

[@philippegagne268]

QD: picked up the Salomon Sense ride 2 gtx for a good test in the muddy trails today and did fantastic! My other go to trail shoe is the Hoka challenger atr. Good cushion for the pushin as Jami would say!!

[@stefanwagner1841]

QOD: Altra Lone Peak 3.5. Need a new shoe soon!

[@papapern9]

Big fan of your channel man!!! QD: Currently running on Lone Peak right now, most of thr runners here in the Philippines are big fan of either Altra and Hoka. Im just sad Seth doesnt have any reviews of Hoka SG4 coz im planning to get one after this lockdown. Im torn getting SG3 which they say better than the updated version SG4.

[@aaronroman3423]

Hoka clifton 7 looks good to run in review?

[@joshcontreras8821]

Same as the 6

[@blinkhornklinkhammer999]

Does it come in color scheme that isn’t hideous???

[@isagrax953]

QD: Inov8 X-Talon 190 for the faster workouts and X-Talon 212 when I want more stability.

[@cuddlespooh]

QOD: I only have 1 trail shoe by Merrell at the moment. I don't remember the model but I went on a number of hikes in the shoes and works well for me. My footing is better and I can gain better speed. The only down side is once it hits 20km, the front of my foot started to ache. The toe box is a little narrow for long distances. But will still use it to death before I explore a new trail shoe. I was previously on the Brooks Cascadia which I really didn't like it at all. It was heavy, the lugs are not deep enough, I sprained my ankles a couple of times in it. Shoes in Malaysia (upon conversion) is relatively expensive and I couldn't afford to buy more shoes. So once I dropped the Cascadia, the lugs died off, I got the Merrell.

[@jamespratt8637]

QD: Nike Kiger 5. The tongue is an incredible feature. I am looking to add another trail shoe into my rotation, something with a little more cushion. Might try the wild horse 6.

[@ethanromer8675]

QD: I currently run in the speedgoats 3, but am transitioning to the Salomon ultra 2. You should review the ultra 2!

[@Andy.Dr.Walton]

Just bought my first pair of trail running shoes Saucony Peregrine ISO on clearance, love a bargain

[@marcthespark82]

would you class the sense ride 3 as a commuter shoe aswell? I'm looking for a trail shoe that can stand a bit of road back and forth to the trail instead of wearing out my evo speedgoats.

[@tsubakichan]

QD: Topo Runventure 2. Picked it up as my first trail shoe period. Why that one? Also wanted to try a 0-drop shoe. And people have said Topo lasts longer than Altra.

[@adamtyson1257]

Salomon XA elevate, rotating with the Hoka SG 3 and Nike Wildhorse 5

[@davidmartini2757]

QD. Have not invested in a pair of trail specific purpose shoes. While I have been running for 20+ years I have mostly run track and XC with focus post HS and college on road running and specifically the marathon. Running XC has meant I have run on all terrains as part of the XC race calendar including trails however I have used Asic DS Trainer, Pegasus 35/36 and XC spikes for most races. As a relative novice in the finer points of trail running footwear I would like to ask the DGR family their advice on how the Nike Terra Kiger 6 and Nike Wildhorse 6 differ (other than obvious aesthetic construction) and how these differences may in your opinion mean different applications of each shoe being one may be more suited to a certain application while the other may lend itself better to certain trails or conditions? Ultimately I would assume with trail running just like on the road you would be looking for shoe rotation so how would the Terra Kiger 6 and the Wildhorse 6 fit into a trail running shoe rotation? Thanks for your advice to this seasoned runner yet trail running novice.

[@michaelctlee]

What is that shoe at the lower left corner?

[@shameernisa4165]

Can you review the inov8 roclite 275 vs 290. Great reviews 👍🏽👌🏾

[@Peto02]

QD: MIzuno Wave Hayate 5 for heavy trail, Mizuno Wave RIder TT for fast light trail, Mizuno Wave Rider GTX and Icebug Anima 5 BUGrip (studded/microspikes) for winter.

[@DavidBrown-wp5fc]

I’m in the speedgoat 3, chose over the 4. I also use the terrex 256 and Solomon speedcross 4 by my “go to” is the speedgoat👌🏻 really interested in the Pegasus 36 trail though... 😬

[@ronbiggs5912]

WH5 for easy trails and Salomon Speedcross for technical trails.

[@DanRuns]

Nice! I'll check out your channel

[@DustinBenton]

QOD: Salomon S Lab Sense 7- first ever Salomon shoe purchase for me. Love the gusseted tongue. Overall ok shoe. Pretty responsive ride. Got it on sale

[@pbnotj1]

Just tried this shoe and like it . I have zero fit in toe box is good for me and o have a wider foot (not insanely wide but I have a narrow heel and wider forefoot and was fine . , Issues; it is a little bit heavy for a runner and a bit warm for any hot days . Just took it out on rainy trails and it did well. Upper holds water enough that it is pretty heavy after rain running otherwise fine. The midsole is great. Love the foam; just right in terms of protection and response . If you heel strike on this shoe it feels unstable if you stay off the heel and stay midfoot to forefoot , then feels perfect. Another fit issue for me is if I lace it down hard enough to have zero heel slip I get numb toes so having some issue there but that is something common for my foot shape....

[@greganthony9769]

Just purchase wh6, great shoes in the trail track 5⭐️ for performance and look.

[@BreezyBoyBoy]

@Seth James DeMoor this is an unrelated question but I’m thinking of getting a pair of Nike vaporfly next percent. I’m not a pro racer, just a causal runner but would you recommend them for every running shoes and how miles I can put in them before they start falling apart?

[@loganharder6144]

BreezyBoyBoy they are definitely not made as an everyday shoe. They are definitely a racing shoe. The “pop” of the shoe usually lasts from 80-150ish miles. But after that it can easily be used as a workout shoe. You can do workouts in them but it definitely decreases the lifespan quickly. There are way cheaper options for daily trainers

[@BreezyBoyBoy]

Logan Harder thanks, buddy. I appreciate the input and you just save me $250 lol!!

[@Average_Joel_Runs]

Qod: Nike Pegasus 36 Trail as the main shoe. Just a great great shoe. I also have the Inov8 Xtalon 212 but struggle with the fit.

I have the speedgoat 2’s at the moment. Really like them. However, they have now done over 630k. I have ordered the Evo Speedgoats. I’ve heard good things about them. But I could go another pair abs I really like the look and sound of these Wildhorse 6’s. Now just need to convince the wife. Lol
