PositiveExceptional fit and comfort for long, daily miles on varied terrain, with minimal instability. A great affordable companion for slow, difficult trails or a first trail shoe. A little heavy.

PositiveAfter 150 km of gravel runs and a rainy coastal backpacking trip, this long-time Wildhorse wearer finds the Wildhorse 8 finally has good wet grip and fits a wide forefoot, though it's heavy.
