Wildhorse 8

Verdict

The Nike Wildhorse 8 is a solid performer — a all-terrain trail scoring 84/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 288g, it is standard weight for a all-terrain trail. The 28mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a medium-firm ride at 36 HC, returning 56% of impact energy and feeling moderately responsive underfoot. Geometrically, the Wildhorse 8 runs on a mid 8mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 20mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 96mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper comes in a standard width. True to size. Good toe protection. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for all-terrain trails, mixed surface, beginner trail runners, daily trail running, and performs less well for technical scrambling or mud-specific.
