Nike ACG Ultrafly Trail

Fabulous trail running shoe. I run 5-10k trail runs three times per week, so a fairly amateur runner. I have been using the Pegasus Trail 5 and Peg 4 GTX mainly this year which are both great shoes. I wanted to try these due to the full ZoomX, carbon plate and Vibram sole. I was hesitant because a lot of the reviews online (incorrectly) paint this as a focussed race shoe only. It’s not. It’s a comfortable, well cushioned everyday trail trainer as well as something you can push for a pb in. The carbon plate is not intrusive and with faster/longer strides really returns something extra. Cut a minute from my 10k pb two weeks into using them. Construction is solid, comfort is excellent. Super stable, grippy on grit and loose surfaces. I take a size 9 in regular shoes but always order half a size up in running shoes and that’s perfect for these too. My road running shoes are Vomero Plus and they too have full ZoomX but feel nothing like these at all, these are way more stable and less marshmallowy in their cushioning.

The turquoise is beautiful. I wish there were more athletic shoes in this more monochromatic color style. I removed a star due to what I consider a quite wide toe box, yet relatively narrow vamp - and due to this, sizing down wouldn't be an option. I also prefer a cloth material as opposed to this thin whatever-type material, (I realize this will propel water more) but that's just a personal preference. The cushioning is superb. I have a tender nerve on the ball of my foot, and I walk/jog 3 miles a day. The cushioning in these shoes has kept me able to do that, whereas other shoes I have - even those with a good amount of cushion - aren't comfortable right now. I'm of normal weight and not a long-distance runner, but I'm enjoying them so far.

Sprang 64 km teknisk terräng i helgen( nästan direkt ur boxen). Skon passade både terräng och mina fötter bra. Mjuka och sköna samt lite bredare tåbox.
