Just noticed Nike has released 2 new trail shoes, the Wildhorse and Terra Kiger, has anyone on Letsrun tried either shoe yet?

Ill give that another bump. I'm curious as well.
Had a chance to do some training runs in a pair of Terra Kiger's, both on trails and some roads. Sweet shoe. Flexible and light but with enough protection for most trails with a solid grip. Good amount of cushioning but not over done. Felt great on the roads as well. Responsive and smooth. Best part was the upper. Soft and comfortable and no need for socks. Great fit (but had to wear a half size smaller than usual to find the fit I like). Didn't get a chance to do any longish runs (over 15m) but I can see this shoe as being one of the best new trail shoes of 2013. Haven't gotten a pair of the Wildhorse yet but some ladies that tried them on said they didn't feel as comfortable as the Kiger's. The Terra Kiger is on a lower platform than the Wildhorse as well.
I can't believe Old Wildhorse named a shoe after himself. Nice work.
Cheers

Thanks for the response. The description mentions a "track spike" fit - does the shoe run a little narrower like a racing flat? Any chance you've run in the Lunaracer and could compare the fit between the 2 shoes?
One more bump... searching for Way Out West.
Just ordered the Kigers. Wil report back when I get them. Chris Derrick has tweeted a few times that they are great shoes. I like that they are making a light (8.5 oz) trail shoe.
Wild horse lake and Kiger gorge are two features on Steens mountain as well. But I'm sure his nickname being that played a big part.
