Jeffrey Hammond's review
Love the cush in the shoe with stability. This shoe saved my backside 100 miles into Cocodona. I needed a big change in the feet and this was it. I actually had my crew start looking at local running stores to buy me another pair while on course.

3 experts recommend the Nike Men's Zegama 2 Trail-Running Shoes Brown 9.
The first time I ran in these I felt like I was flying. My go-to gravel/two-track and light single track shoe. Slightly bigger size makes them comfortable for me, but I'm a little hesitant to take them on more technical trails.

I've tried several trail shoes (Nike, Brooks, Salomon, etc.) and these shoes give my legs and feet the support they need for long hard efforts! Definitely my preferred choice for trail days.
