FAQs
What is the main upgrade in the Wildhorse 10 compared to previous versions?
The primary upgrade is the introduction of the ReactX foam midsole, which offers 13% more responsiveness than previous Reactx incarnations.
How does the outsole provide grip?
The Nike Trail All-Terrain Compound (ATC) rubber outsole features a specific tread pattern designed for enhanced grip on steep inclines, loose surfaces, and wet conditions.
Can I use these trainers for road running?
While the ATC outsole provides a smooth ride on the road, these trainers are optimized for trail running. For dedicated road running, a road-specific shoe might be more suitable.
How do I clean my Wildhorse 10 trainers?
Clean gently with a soft brush for dry dirt, and a damp cloth with mild soap for tougher dirt. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of this shoe?
The heel-to-toe drop is 9.5mm.
Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?
The ATC outsole offers enhanced grip in wet weather, and the breathable upper helps with ventilation. However, they are not waterproof and may not be ideal for heavy rain or snow without additional protection.
What does the 'ATC' in the outsole stand for?
ATC stands for Nike Trail All-Terrain Compound, referring to the specialized rubber compound and tread design for trail use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them for a more customized fit. If still uncomfortable, consider alternative sizes or models.
Reduced grip on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly. The ATC outsole is designed for varied terrain; performance may vary on extremely smooth or polished surfaces.
Discomfort after long runs
Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs. Ensure the lacing is appropriate for your foot's needs. The 9.5mm drop may require an adjustment period if you're used to lower-drop shoes.
Debris entering around the ankle collar
Ensure the ankle collar is positioned correctly against your sock. Tighten laces slightly higher up to secure the collar better. The collar is designed to minimize, but complete exclusion of all debris may depend on terrain and fit.
