 and welcome back to the studio alright today's blog it's just the full review of the Nike wild horse 5 a lot of times I'll do some outside filming but today it's Saturday just keeping it simple you know spending time with the family just trying to relax you know what I mean it's like it's good on the weekends to just disconnect a little bit so that is what I'm doing today but before we dive in just got to clear the air a little bit well first of all it's amazing we're doing the first full review and I think three months of a shoe I've done a lot of first impressions of the lot over the last two weeks let's say but because of my foot injury I haven't been able to take a running shoe past 50 miles until yesterday in the Nike Wild Horse 5 but there's a lot of new subscribers welcome and so there's a little confusion yesterday on I noticed in the comments under the Salming Trail 5 first impression that was five days ago I believe basically what I do just so you know if you're new I do two videos for every single running shoe that I test a first impression video and that's just after my first run okay just out of the box taking it out on the first steps like I did with the Nike next percent gosh three days ago now and then after 50 miles and just putting it out there if you're watching other youtubers review running shoes I'd recommend to make sure that the people that are doing running shoe reviews for you that they tell you how many miles or kilometers they're putting into the shoe because if they're just taking it out for one run of six miles or two runs of 13 miles in my opinion that's just not quite enough for a full review okay now I do first impressions and then I wait for that 50 mile mark for the full review and then if I really love the shoe like the Speedcross 5 I'm looking at most likely the Hoka Rincon what else there's a lot of shoes that I can tell I'm gonna like a lot and therefore if I take it to 100 miles or 200 miles then I start doing testing like time trial testing and speed test and eventually running shoe battles okay so just wanted to clear the air there because there was a little confusion yesterday in the comments all right I love you guys here we are let's rock and roll Nike Wild Horse 5 full review after 50 miles first of all let's jump into those specs the drop on the shoe unbelievable 8 millimeters that's what I'm talking about that is the sweet spot for me we're looking at a 28 millimeter stack height in the heel and 20 millimeter in the forefoot all right so that's a nice perfect slope inside a shoe at least for a trainer for racing that's a different story for me but for our trainer I love that six to eight millimeter range for weight we're looking at just under nine ounces in my size or 254 grams for size nine in men's we're looking at 10.1 ounces or 286 grams so pretty I would say actually well it's pretty par for the course for trail running shoes maybe slightly on the light side which is a good thing but most trail shoes in my size fall in that I would say 10 and a half to 11 and a half ounce range for weight and so the upper on this Wild Horse 5 has this multi-layer fabric with quite a bit of overlay action going on especially through this toe box that's the blue anywhere there's blue on this upper that is a synthetic really really thin rubber to help with with water resistance but everybody I didn't have a lot of great success yesterday keeping my feet dry so I'm thinking like compared to okay I'm just going to say it compared to the Salming Trail 5 which is right here this Salming Trail 5 kept my feet much much more dry much drier compared to the Wild Horse 5 which is which is fine because I'm going to tell you how I'm going to use this shoe moving forward here in a minute so I'm not expecting my feet to be completely dry after running up a snowy 14,000 foot mountain but just putting it out there it wasn't as water resistant as I might have expected given how much overlay is happening through the toe box and even even toward the back here through the midfoot and let's talk real quick about the midsole okay it's this Phylon EVA midsole foam here that's white here on the shoe and then yes there's a rock plate inside this forefoot okay so that is good nice work Nike I didn't have any sharp rocks poke the bottom of my foot yesterday and I was going over some pretty intense terrain like it was not a buffed out trail by any means so nice work on the rock plate I'd love to see what the rock plate actually looks like inside the shoe and then a zoom air unit in the heel okay and I'm going to come back to that in a minute but a nice zoom air unit here in the heel for a little more cushion through your gate cycle and for the outsole the bottom of the shoe really critical for trail running shoes of course I love what Nike is doing here with the lug pattern so you know lug depth is important so how how deep are the lugs on the bottom of the shoe how much do they protrude out of the bottom but I also now I need to do a little more thinking and testing but I also think how the lugs are actually laid out on the shoe is also critically important and I just like what Nike is doing here with this lug pattern and in fact I like how they the lugs kind of flare out here on the back near the heel because if you're traversing a trail that has a gradient to it a slope to it this is going to help it's hard to show you but it's basically these lugs kind of wrap around the edge of the I guess I should say okay the beveled edge of which is not really beveled at all it's rounded off and it allows those lugs to kind of wrap around which I like I like it a lot so good work there Nike once again on the outsole and as far as the positive and the negative or the drawback for the wild horse five how the padding inside the shoe it's not too much but not too little it kind of it ties into the tongue what I just mentioned I'm not sure what they did exactly as far as how they sewed the upper together and the amount of padding they chose to put into it but it's just spot on as far as the comfort of the upper it just it hugs the foot so well and okay I won't mention the terra cagra five quite yet I'll bring that up in a minute but anyway it is spot on and the drawback okay I'm getting reports from the field that some folks are going to be running a hundred miles hundred mile trail races in the wild horse five that's amazing nice work I'm not sure I would I don't think I would wear the wild horse five for a hundred mile race but if your feet and your legs can handle that kudos to you like that is good work for me after 15 miles and yesterday 17 miles my legs were starting to feel it a little bit I was yearning for a little more cushion through that midsole specifically in the heel even though it has the zoom air unit in there instead of 28 millimeter stack height I'm wondering Nike if we could bump that up to 30 or 31 or 30 maybe not 32 30 to 31 just to provide a little more push through the gate cycle all right so anyway that's my only drawback really of the entire shoe is that I was desiring a little more cushion in the heel specifically the forefoot was good but in the heel specifically and how will I use the Nike wild horse five moving forward you ready for this not on steep mountains that is for sure it didn't do great okay here's the deal if you live near Balboa park in San Diego Van Cortland park in New York City the two forest parks in St. Louis and Portland so I've been able to run in all four of those parks across the United States sorry for everyone outside the US but those are parks that are very tame but they have hills but they're tame parks nice buffed out trails this shoe is going to be perfect for running in parks that okay here we go commuter commuter is the keyword because this shoe would be perfect to commute to the trails so here in Denver we have a lot of trails that are close to the city and to the foot so we live right next to the foothills and if you need to travel from your house or your apartment if you need to travel let's say two miles or three miles on pavement and concrete in order to get to the trails this will be perfect so you can commute to the trails so let's say it's 20 to the trails 80 trail run and then 20 back oh no that's over and let's say it's 10 to the trails guys 80 on the trails and then 10 back so that's a hundred percent of your run this shoe is going to be perfect for commuting to the dirt on pavement or concrete it's just uh I'm really feeling that way and not so much strictly on the dirt all right and for that score for the Nike Wild Horse 5 I was struggling a little bit with this but we're going to go with seven out of ten all right seven out of ten and the price point a hundred and ten dollars I like it I like it a lot and yes it's available down below from running warehouse if it was 120 I wouldn't be nearly as excited but 110 I think is spot-on for the Nike Wild Horse 5 all right question of the day here we go one second we got the peg 36 trail we got the terra ciger 5 and we got the wild horse 5 all right what are you did I say peg 36 trail yeah the peg 36 trail here which of these three are you most likely to pick up if you're going to pick up any of them and I know there's folks out there that are not Nike fans and that is just fine but if you are which of these three would you most likely be interested in picking up and that's part one part two would you like me to compare all three of these shoes next week all right how does that sound because I'm feeling close I need one more run in both of these before I feel confident enough to give you the right information to compare these three all right thanks for being here everybody I love you thanks for watching thanks for tuning in and yeah it's just a it's just a beautiful weekend I hope your long run a lot of people do their long runs on on the weekend I hope
