Trail shoes occupy a unique niche in the footwear pantheon: They’re lighter and (often) more comfortable than burly hiking boots, but they’re also more durable and grippier than running shoes. The Nike Wildhorse 8 is a premier do-it-all trail shoe—I own a pair and I love them—and now’s the perfect time to get them in your closet.
Right now you can score the Wildhorse 8 for just $80 (just make sure to use the code SPORT25 for an extra 25% off), which is a massive 43% off the regular price. Two colorways — White/Alabaster/University Gold/Black and Light Iron Ore/Lilac Bloom/Medium Olive/Anthracite — have that full 43% discount, but the other colorways are on sale as well.
The Wildhorse 8 is a dependable, durable trail shoe with a multitude of uses—I use my pair for trail running, hiking, and even mountain biking. The mesh upper breathes well, so your feet don’t overheat while running, and overlays around the toes boost its durability. They have a super comfy feel and an accommodating fit (the toe box is relatively wide, especially for a Nike shoe).
And I’m not the only one singing their praises. One shopper called the Wildhorse 8 “super comfortable” and loved its “excellent traction on rock and trail.”
“This has to be one of [the] most comfortable pairs of sneakers I own,” said another shopper. “It provides comfort and stability when hiking up the mountain plus they look good on foot.”
Another shopper put the Wildhorse to the test during a 50K ultramarathon, and this “unicorn” shoe was a standout for its comfortable feel and grip. “This was probably the first ultra I've done where my feet didn't hurt at all,” they said, adding that the Wildhorse has “the best Nike trail shoe tread I've experienced so far.”
Nike shoes are sought after for a reason: They’re built for elite performance. The Nike Wildhorse 8 is no exception, and with its massive 43% markdown, this is a golden opportunity to try out one of the brand’s best trail shoes. Just don’t wait around: Nike doesn’t offer discounts like this very often.
