![]() ![]() There is hardly a nick or scuff that could develop into a hole with these overlays. More often than not, the extra looseness in the heel and ankle allows bothersome small stones, pine needles, and other trail detritus to sneak in.Īcross the forefoot, there are very strong overlays that lend the upper an air of infallibility. This also makes the integrated ankle gaiter, which aims to keep out debris, a little less effective for me. This adds volume everywhere except in the heel area. I eked out a little more room by removing the insoles. ![]() This is meant to help with foot swelling over the longer distances and harder terrain for which it was designed. As with many Nikes and due to my wide feet, the fit is narrow - although the ZoomX Zegama is in fact a little wider than other Nike shoes. The strong engineered mesh provides excellent stability, but it has also provided extraordinary durability. The Nike ZoomX Zegama is not light - it has an actual weight of 10.2 ounces (290 grams) for a men’s size 9 - and much of that weight is attributed to its very durable upper.

There are a few legacy Nike trail running shoes at this point: the Pegasus Trail, the Wildhorse, and the Terra Kiger. It’s a testament to the overall brilliance of this new addition to the Nike lineup, which continues a legacy of class-leading foam response, looks, and performance on any style of terrain. Before that, the default was the Hoka Tecton X, another excellent shoe and the one I ran probably 90% of my runs in over the summer - see our in-depth Hoka Tecton X review. This fall, the Nike ZoomX Zegama ($160) has taken over as my default shoe. While I rotate a lot, inevitably one standout shoe will get worn so many consecutive days that I’ll change it to my default, so that Strava will automatically assign it to my run. For each run, the shoe I wear gets assigned in order to track mileage and keep notes. As a tester and general shoe geek, I have a long list of shoes in my Strava gear list. ![]()
