Nike Zegama 2

Extremely comfortable shoes and love the grip on the trails.

Purchased for longer train runs, half to full marathon. Fit true to size and comfortable right out of the box. The sole is plush enough for longer runs and harder surfaces, but still offers a good connection to the trail. Outsole traction was even better than expected after testing in very muddy, slippery conditions. The shoes give a feeling of confidence that they will deal with whatever terrain you face, and look after your feet at the same time. Only negative so far; the laces are too short to use a runner's loop and double knot, which would improve heel lock and give more security to the lacing.

Big feet beware. This model is too small, too tight, too narrow, too low, rubs Achilles when walking. My husband couldn't even tie them. Going half/one size up is not an option because they will be too long.
