Nike ACG Zegama Trail Reviews

Really enjoys the ACG Zegama: very cozy and their feet feel fantastic, though the rock plate can run hot.

A former Zegama 2 owner finds the Zegama 3 super comfy with amazing grip and midsole, but the balls of their feet got very sore over an 80 km ultra.

Two testers logged 62 and 98 miles, from easy dirt and steep climbs to uphill tempo work and hikes with a loaded pack. They found the upper very comfortable and roomier in the forefoot, though wide feet may struggle and the midfoot needed tight lacing. The foam felt firm out of the box and only eased a little after about 30 miles. Stable underfoot, with light outsole scuffing after 100 miles; a comfort-first all-rounder for long days.

After 70 miles of trail running and hiking: true-to-size fit with a good toe box, but the tall soft ZoomX stack feels insecure on wet roots and rocks and durability disappoints.

Easy 6 and 14.5 trail runs: felt great, lighter than advertised, stable, roomy without being baggy.

On a first run, a runner liked the ACG Zegama more than the Zegama 2: more stable, a bit stiffer, with amazing ankle lockdown and a happy forefoot.

Almost 50 miles on roads, hardpack and rocky singletrack, including the PCT and Colorado trails. The upper has a roomy forefoot, a locked-in midfoot and kept debris out, with no comfort issues. Heel slip showed up until they laced through the top eyelets. It is heavy at 11.9 oz (men's 10) and has limited rubber coverage, but grip and durability held up and they rate it very highly.

9.5/10 'Super Fun': exceptional stability and excellent grip in all weather; no shoe has given him more confidence on descents. Comfortable, with a roomy toe box. Among the heaviest trail shoes, and the laces must be cinched very tight.

'The best version yet… by lightyears'. The improved fit makes the biggest difference, even with some added weight, and the ride is versatile, comfortable, confident and fun for going the distance. Wear taller socks with the bootie.

A dependable, comfortable, breathable trail shoe with grippy, durable Vibram that she trusts on greasy descents, plus a cupped, secure fit. A touch heavier, but she barely noticed. A split in the heel lug pattern is felt on steep downhills.
