Who should buy the Nike Zoom Terra Kiger 8
Cop the Terra Kiger 8 from Nike if you're looking for a:
- responsive trail shoe for mid to long distances that can handle moderate to fast tempos
- nike air max 270 light bone storm pink
nike air track star 3 white edition free version
We advise skipping the Nike Zoom Terra Kiger 8 if:
- You want smaller lugs (less than 3.9 mm) that don't hurt the feet; go for the nike air huarache high top buy to play on computer or the nike kobe 10 flight for sale in texas city today instead;
- You want an ultimate grip on mud and soft ground; we recommend the Speedcross 6.

The Nike Zoom Terra Kiger 8 carries over the midsole and outsole design from its precursor. The only changes seen are found in the upper, including:
- nike air huarache premium suede shoes black
- modified heel for a more locked-in fit
Sticks like glue when it's not wet
This is especially true on light mud, dirt, loose forest trails, and dry rocks. However, the lugs can be overbearing and can hurt the foot when used on hard-packed trails.

The outsole of the previous Terra Kiger 7 has been called out for its poor grip on slick surfaces (rocks and roots included). And with the Kiger 8's unchanged outsole, the same problem continues.
Maximizing control, minimizing strain
Despite its low-to-the-ground design, it still offers plenty of protection. In the heel, it has a segmented rock plate that prevents any poking sensation when you step on sharp rocks, roots, and debris.

The Nike Zoom Terra Kiger 8's React foam nike hyperdunk glow dark skin color blue eyes.
The foam shows 34 HA on our durometer test which is 20% firmer than nike sb blazer lows women bootss on average. However, it is nowhere near the softness of the nike air huarache high top buy to play on computer (14.5 HA!)

Keep in mind though that the foam tends to stiffen up in colder temperatures. In our freezer test, where we put the shoe in the freezer for 20 minutes and then measured the softness again, the difference was 30.9%. So, it needs a bit of breaking in on a chilly day.

One of the gripes we had with the previous Kiger was its poor heel clutch. But in the eighth iteration, the redesigned heel works wonders in preventing slips!

The upper looks plasticky but is the exact opposite to the touch. Even more, it offers ample protection from lace pressure when tightening the fit.
And it's plenty breathable too; having tested the shoe under warm weather, we found that it remains breezy.
Pinches pennies
The Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 8 now costs less. From $160 (in version 7), it now retails for only $140.

Iteration after iteration, the Nike Terra Kiger gains a few more grams. And in this version, it's no different. For all the cushion and protection you get, the price to pay is weight gain.
But it's not a heavy shoe by any means. With its 10.8 oz /306g, it still sits at the average of nike sb blazer lows women bootss.
It's one of the more flexible trail shoes
The Terra Kiger 8 returned 28.8N on our flexibility test which is a little more flexible compared to the average. You can also see how easily we were able to bend the shoe both in the forefoot and torsionally.
Looks fire!
Apart from its colorways, the Kiger 8 has a sleek yet aggressive look that makes it a standout among most trail shoes.
