FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Wildhorse 7 features breathable mesh and is not explicitly waterproof; they will get wet in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Can I use these for road running?
While they are comfortable enough for brief road transitions, the aggressive lug pattern will wear down prematurely on asphalt.
How do I determine my size?
Nike generally follows standard sizing, but since trail running often involves foot swelling, many runners prefer a half-size larger than their everyday casual shoes.
Are these suitable for hiking?
Yes, many users find the stability and grip of the Wildhorse 7 sufficient for light-to-moderate hiking on well-marked trails.
How often should I replace them?
For most trail runners, it is recommended to replace these shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of use and the harshness of the terrain.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to increase heel lockdown and prevent forward movement.
Feeling debris inside the shoe on dusty trails
Consider using dedicated trail gaiters to seal the collar area against dirt and small stones.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Wildhorse 7, prioritize a proper fit; ensure there is a thumb's width of space at the front to prevent toe rubbing on steep descents. If your shoes get muddy, avoid using a washing machine. Instead, remove the insole and laces, then clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap. Air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can damage the cushioning foams and adhesives. Regularly check the outsole lugs for embedded pebbles to maintain optimal grip.
