Great video, James. Always good stuff! Would love to see you review some of the newer Garmin tech, namely something like the Epix gen 2 Pro. Would love to get your opinion, but just a suggestion!
I have both and I like them both. For sure I'll buy the Zegama 2 but last week Nike had the Zegama with 40 % off on their website and gave an extra 25 % off if you bought 2 items so I got me another pair of Zegamas. The Ultrafly is a really great shoe but its way too expensive.
I bought the ultrafly in a similar sale. £137. Seems like a good deal for a carbon plated wide shoe. Obviously hate the colours. Shoes should never be white kr off white. No chance they will ever lool half nice again.
Have to admit for my long narrow feet both were pretty awful for me - heavy (close to 400g in a UK 13) & rather wide. That said have to admit I am only an occassional trail runner but running in either for say an hour or so off road was never particularly enjoyable. Of the Nike trail ones, my first choice would have to be the Peg Trail 4 GORE-TEX which is also a decent road-trail option.
400g is getting close to an extra kilo on the end of your legs … I can seem why you might find them a little too cumbersome - especially as a road runner ! Cheers Tim for the feedback
New to trail running, how much toe space between longest toe and end of shoe? Same ‘thumbs width’ rule as normal running shoes - or do you need more with trail shoes..? Thanks!
Hi. Yes, for me a thumbs width is good … no need to get much more - a good test is how the feel going down hill as this is were they can scrunch up slightly . Which shoe are looking at ? Annoyingly all brands differ slightly
@@movemorenowjames hi James, thanks for reply! I am trying to get into Altra - I tried the timp on in store but it felt overall too voluminous in the shoe itself - not the length, but the space within/ around bridge of foot and ankle - thinking on the Outroad which I read is a little narrower but still more organic feeling (if that makes sense) 😎 Thanks Again! Gary
Sorry to hear that … I guess they clearly aren’t for everyone- I used them for my last ultra - they felt ok 👌 (that said, I have gone completely different direction over the last months - more minimal)
I'm liking the look with the 2 different shoes on your feet James, you might start a new trend 👌
A new trend full of imbalances!
Interesting comparison James. Thanks for putting this out there mate. I am sure loads of people will find it useful. 😎🤘
Cheers Ben 👍
A non radical review is always aprecciated! Keep up the good work.
Thanks .. will do Luis 👍
This has been so helpful I’m trying to figure out the best shoe for my first 50km ultra race 🙌🏼 toying with the zegamas mostly
Thanks Amelia … glad it helped . Good luck with your first ultra - which one is it?
Informative. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thx
Very thorough cheers
Thanks

Thanks .. I am really only using the Apple Watch Ultra - and still loving it - don’t know much about the epix gen 2 pro.

Sounds like a wise move… 👍

Thanks for looking like a plonker for us, James 😅👍🏻
The things I do for YT 👍🤣
The Kiger 9 has noticeably better grip than the Zegama in my experience, very nice Nimble feeling shoe.
Interesting… I do like the kiger but heard bad things about the grip - so, quite good to hear that you think it’s pretty good 👍
@@movemorenowjames it seems to me that grip is a bit more subjective than I knew.
Zegama 2 should solve the grip issues since it’s using vibram
Tengo las dos ,
Voy a correr 20k terreno en sierra pero fácil , por cual irías? Peso 67
If it’s very rocky then the zegama but if fairly smooth then ultra !
Take the insoles out and compare them and we want to see the shape?
Good idea … will make a TH-cam short
@@movemorenowjames perfect champ! Maybe compare with Altra Lone Peak and Mont Blanc?
@@DevelopingNL 👍
zegama insoles are glued in.
@@graevanhooser7348 Shame on Nike!

Similar? These are completely different shoes and not even remotely similar.
You’re actually right .. apart from stack and zoom x they feel they aren’t that similar. Good feedback
I ran 100km race in Nike ultraflys and ruined my feet. Put them in the bin
Sorry to hear that … I guess they clearly aren’t for everyone- I used them for my last ultra - they felt ok 👌 (that said, I have gone completely different direction over the last months - more minimal)
