I hike, run and play golf in these bad boys, reall good

i dig these, nice work Nike

I had ran in the previous versions of Kigers , but I kept gravitating back to the Altra Superiors when it came time to grab shoes to hit the trails. A few runs in and I'm already excited for these shoes, they're a significant upgrade over previous versions. The shoe is lightweight, responsive, and solid traction (in damp conditions). The fit is also a nice surprise for me, while not as wide as the Altra toe box there is ample room for natural splay, especially with Injinji toe socks. Overall, a plus all around shoe that Nike got right.

I am just getting into trail running, I'm not a huge Nike fan in the past, after reading some reviews I pulled the trigger. The Nike Terra Kiger 5 is a light and protective, soft and sturdy shoe that is a blast to put on and run nearly all year long. It had a wider toe box that I'm sure wont disappoint many, and fit a bit small, I went a 1/2 size up and feels great. Where it lacks in mud performance, it more than makes up in dry and technical terrain. Solid well wounded shoe that you can tell Nike has put some work into.

Very satisfied with these 5’s. Tread is exactly what I was looking for. DO NOT HESITATE!

While I was skeptical of Nike in the trail scene, the shape and look of the Kiger 5 got me interested as to try it. I am pleasantly surprised by the fit, look, responsiveness, comfort, and overall feel of the kiger 5. So surprised that I ordered the wildhorse 5 to try them out as well!

Ive been running trail mostly with solomon and merrel, but when i tried the past terra kiger version 4 i did liked them but they were missing in some areas, still was a promising shoe, when i saw that the Terra Kiger 5 was released i had to try them, and oh man ... this is such a different shoe!
For me the key is how to make a shoe that is soft enough but at the same time responsive and also gives you a great ground feeling which i think is key in trail running, shoes like hoka are great at cushioning but you lose ground feeling which end up on certain stability issues on your feet.
Im glad to say that this Nike is the best of both worlds, soft shoes, responsive and they provide great ground feedback, im really glad Nike really did the proper R&D on these shoes, and it shows.
The salomon sense trail 2 for example provide great ground feeling but they get super rough after 20km, still a great shoe, but these Terra Kigers are soft and forviging even after 30km or more. Longest run on them so far is 45KM.
All in all .. i had to write a review, i dont usually write them, but i felt compelled to give Nike some kudos on the R&D behind the Terra Kiger 5.
Oh ... and they have great traction!

Color wins, but have to admit the fit is still Nike.
If Nike works for you, these are awesome! If NIke doesn't, well, then don't expect any changes. The toe cap is "short" vertically, so my toe nails rub, and the pre-curvature is nice to run in, but can add some strain to my foot as I am usually in Salomon shoes. So these are sick for NIke lovers, and those whose feet fit NIke well, I wish my feet fit these better, as I love how they look. I wear 9.5 dress shoes and Vans, 10 for trail and road shoes, and these fit as expected in length for a 10.
