New year, new Zegamas!
The first version of the Nike Zoomx Zegama shoes have been one of my favorite trail shoes ever since they came out. They had a good fit with a bouncy Zoomx midsole, making them a fun trail shoe for the mountains. The only issue I had with them was the slippery outsole on wet terrain.
When I heard that the Zegama 2 would get a Vibram outsole, I knew I had to get them and try them out!
Not only the outsole has been updated since the last version, but also other changes have been made! Check out my video to see what the new version is all about!
And let me know, what you think of them! Would you get them?

I was given a pair for review here at UTMB 2024. Just noticed your review. Ha, we see eye to eye (but didn’t have any heel slippage with my lacing method)! This is the review I posted on Strava: Nike gave me the Zagama v2’s to test on this run: The great; 1) Good lockdown with the laces and well cushioned tongue. 2) The built in gaitors worked well and kept out all debris. 3) Great ride, excellent suspension/cushioning! 4) I went up .5 of a size. Toe box was wide and high enough for ultra distance. 5) Grip was fine, not one slip on technical trails. However there were no wet zones on the trail. 6) Stack height is perfect for me. Facilitates great cushioning but still solid ground feel. Any higher I would be concerned about stability and increased risk of ankle roll. Slight negatives; 1) Weight, not the lightest trail shoe but to be fair didn’t notice extra weight probably because of the excellent cushioning. 2) Did one hard rock stub and the rock guard protection was solid. The front of the shoe could do with a little more protection ie widen the rock guard. This would give me more confidence executing side to side running down narrow gullies and in other situations when the probability of striking rocks with the front sides of the shoes is increased.

It does everything great. But i just don’t like the shoe. ( now after a few months in the rotation) Idk why but you know the feeling when you grab your favorite shoes before the run. With this shoe I have the opposite feeling. I liked the first Zegama shoes a lot more. Glad you liked them though!

Had them for two weeks and already clocked 100 k in it,love it.ive got a wide foot and it accommodates well…it will be my choice for next week giant causeway ultra…

@ozhunter6708 4 месяца назад

I returned them. Too expensive for the issues out of the box. Heel slippage, no toe bumper, short laces, tight on top of foot. Just going to hold out and get Saucony Xodus ultra 3

@JohnM-xr6ch 4 месяца назад

Same, the heel slip is crazy, made worse by tiny laces making it almost impossible to tie a runners loop, and overall but a big heavy clunky mess.

@ozhunter6708 4 месяца назад

@JohnM-xr6ch and 20 bucks more than any other comparable shoe. The grip was good and the midsole is soft but those should be a given on high stack trail shoes. I tried but I stopped liking Nike along time ago and this was a harsh reminder.

@grahmdoughty 4 месяца назад

yeah I think I'm going to return mine. They feel heavy and hot and no toe bumper sucks

EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. Foot Fits. Gait. ETC. Glad you found what works for YOU. Cheers!!

@ozhunter6708 4 месяца назад

@jt.8144 yes of course or Nike would be out of business. Someone enjoys them.

@Jannerjaunts 3 месяца назад

You say about heel slippage but you haven’t laced them with the runners loop which stops this

@chris.schmied 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the advice !

@Kaisersozze 4 месяца назад

I hear the toebox is even less accommodating then V1.

@chris.schmied 4 месяца назад

I’m afraid it is. Not by much.

@oc9357 4 месяца назад

You should try The "Columbia escape thrive endure" 👍

@chris.schmied 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the advice :) I will check them out!

Thoughts on these as a trail hiker for 5-12 mile rocky and rooty mountain treks? Intrigued by level of cushion and new grip. Know theres no toe protection but still curious your thoughts

@chris.schmied 4 месяца назад

I wouldn’t recommend them. As a trail hiker I would get the Salomon Genesis, if the trails are technical. If the trails are easier then maybe the Hoka Speedgoat.

@RobertVRuggiero 4 месяца назад

@@chris.schmiedThank you, yup really like the Genesis!

@superp0tato 2 месяца назад

i bought them for hiking .....for me way too soft and cushy . on tech trails they are a nightmare for me . vibram outsole the only positive for me .

@1111italia1111 3 месяца назад

hi buddy, i m wondering if i should for this or hoka mafate any idea ? Im coming from saucony xodus ultra i like them, but i want to change brand just to try something new ! :)

@chris.schmied 3 месяца назад

Do you want to do faster runs or long trails? I would go w the Mafate. They are a bit better for long distances. ( in my opinion )
