Nike Juniper Trail 3

Nike Juniper Trail 3 review: what runners say

Fit

Runs small: sizing up half a size from street shoe size is recommended. The toe box is wide but low; the padded collar makes entry difficult.

Feel

Comfy Ride foam cushioning: firm feel, no bounce. The 10 mm drop favors heel striking; runners seeking responsiveness will find the energy return lacking.

Durability

Nearly full-coverage ATC rubber outsole; solid construction for moderate use. No specific mileage data available from sources.

Best for

Entry-level shoe for light trail, forest paths, and mixed dry terrain up to 20 km. Not suited for mud, wet rock, or demanding long distances.

Weak points

Comfy Ride foam judged too firm compared to the previous version; insufficient grip on wet or highly technical terrain due to shallow lugs (2.6 mm).
