[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m shocked how much I love these shoes! At first unboxing I thought they looked huge/super cushiony, I did a side by side to my normal running shoe same size. When you put them on you sink into the sole, the 4mm heel to toe drop sits the foot perfectly for minimalist style shoes with the surprisingly lightweight foam. I really liked the touch of the ankle cuff, giving a snug fit at ankle and laces but keeping bugs and dirt out. Can’t go wrong with the vibram grip, no rolling or uneven planting of the foot on weird terrains! Size wise, go with your normal running shoe size! Don’t worry about the look of the shoe size, it fits just as you’d expect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I really enjoy this ACG trail running shoe. The moment I put the shoe on, I was amazed with how comfortable they were. The materials used in the shoe are well thought out the outsole is great for all conditions. The height of the shoe comes right above the ankle and gives a slight compression feel around the ankle, which is great for stability. The soul provides great traction and the rigid bottoms help with running on all different surfaces. The overall design is basic but in a good way, she provides all the comfort that you’ll need and the classic black-and-white color scheme make it easy to put on with any outfit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are amazing on slippery trails in the NC mountains (we’ve had a lot of rain lately). I was able to fully submerge them in a creek with my dog and they dried quickly and remained comfy for the duration of the hike. I usually wear socks with shoes but surprisingly these almost seem better without socks. The built in sock thing keeps dirt and gravel from getting lodged in the shoes when walking through water. The tread on these shoes is very thick and grippy. I would definitely recommend these shoes for trail activities. I might would size down a half size for a snug fit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ACG Zegama shoes do exactly what they say. Comfortable and stable for trail running. The wide toe box is excellent for maintaining stability on rough terrain. The mesh upper breathes really well. I haven’t tried it out in wet conditions/creeks but it feels like it would dry quickly. The ZoomX foam is my absolute favorite across Nike shoe lines. The ankle cuff prevents pebbles and dirt from causing irritation which is a great detail. The fit is true to size and their stylish/rugged appearance is a plus.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These might be one of the best shoes Nike has made!!! The build of these shoes is awesome- they have great ankle support and heel support. The extra foam padding support used makes it feel like you’re gliding while running, it’s gives you an extra boost when running so my feet feel like feathers. They have great tracks under the shoes to really grip onto whatever surface you’re running on- it does makes a grippy sound when you’re on concrete but nothing that bothers me. They are pretty light weight considering how much support they give, Nike really outdid themselves with these trail sneakers. They’re my new go to hiking and running shoes, love them!! True to size!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every time I have worn this shoe, I get compliments! Not only is it comfortable to wear, but it looks good too. I personally love how much it hugs around my ankle with the stretchy sock detail. The laces have texture and grip so the ties don’t come undone! I haven’t had the chance to run in them yet, per recovering from surgery, but these shoes are ready for running when I am!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike ACG Zegama were an exciting pair of sneakers to test. I am longtime fan of the ACG collection, mainly for it's forward and functional design. These trail sneakers embody both of those fully. I wore these on the trail routes near my home and they full adapted to the uneven and sometimes slippery terrain. I've worn them on dry runs and just after rainfall, and the footprint/sole of this sneaker felt like it grasped the earth well in both circumstances. The elastic ankle detail hugged my foot just enough for added stabilization. I could really feel the vibram sole and full cushioning which I prefer when trail running. I appreciated the non slip grip the laces had on the upper, they felt secure the duration of each run. But my main takeaway was the width of the sole at the ball of the foot. It really felt different compared to other sneakers I run on trail with. This felt like when my foot stuck the ground, it was fully connecting, giving me more confidence and security with each step. The shoe was comfortable and responsive all around.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been really impressed with the Women's Nike ACG Zegama, and it's fast become a shoe I reach for. First off, the look. It's mostly black with a clean strip of white near the base, and it reads as noticeably more stylish than your typical trail shoe. It's one I'd happily wear off the trail too. Underfoot there's far more cushion than I'd expect from a trail shoe, with a soft, well-padded feel that takes the sting out of harder ground. But the extra softness doesn't cost you stability. It stays planted and secure when the trail gets uneven, so I never felt unsure of my footing. The outsole is a highlight too, with deep, aggressive lugs that bite confidently on climbs and descents. I also love the roomy, comfortable toe box, which is something that matters more and more to me. It gives your toes space to splay on longer outings. My one slight concern is that white strip. On a wet, muddy trail I doubt it'll stay fresh for long, but on cleaner, drier trails keeping them sharp seems very doable. Overall: stylish, well-cushioned, grippy, and stable. I'd happily recommend it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not a hardcore hiker, but I definitely hike for fun often. I live in an area with lots of trails, ranging from well marked and maintained to "I'm going to fall in this creek, aren't I?" so good shoes with grip are a must. These shoes feel awkward on paved ground, but are EXCELLENT on dirt. I first wore them after a week of rain, but even in the mud I was able to walk with ease on big inclines. Plus, they're really comfortable and have tons of cushioning. These feel true to size, but I have narrow feet so they were a little roomy-- it wasn't bad, but I could have probably gone half a size down. The back sits high up on the ankle, which didn't bother me in long socks, but might cause issues with no-shows. I probably won't be turning heads with theses sneakers, but what they lack in style they make up for in function. Not sure about how I feel about the lightweight mesh on top, but it's definitely breathable and honestly, that's what matters most. Will I be wearing these to the gym or to run errands? Absolutely not-- but I WILL be bringing these out in the woods, for sure.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike ACGÂ Â Zegama offers incredible cushion, the fit size 7 was the perfect size and comfort for me. I was very impressed with the design feels like your walking on air I would definitely recommend.
