Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX - Black - UK 8

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which provides reliable waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry in rain, puddles, and wet trail conditions.

While primarily designed for trails, the ReactX foam provides comfortable cushioning that can handle short stretches of road. However, the aggressive outsole pattern is optimized for off-road grip and may feel less efficient or wear faster on pavement compared to dedicated road running shoes.

The Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX has a heel-to-toe drop of 9.5mm.

After use, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.

ReactX foam is designed to deliver lightweight and responsive cushioning. This translates to a softer, more comfortable ride with excellent energy return, helping to reduce impact and propel you forward on trails.

Yes, the Nike Trail ATC (All-Terrain Compound) outsole is engineered to provide total traction on a wide variety of off-road surfaces, including loose dirt, gravel, rocks, and muddy paths. They are a versatile option for most trail environments.

Ensure the high ankle cuff is properly sealed and check for any external damage to the shoe. Water can also enter through the top if running through very deep puddles or if pants/gaiters are not overlapping the cuff correctly. Confirm socks are not absorbing sweat and making feet *feel* wet internally; use moisture-wicking socks.

While the Nike Trail ATC outsole provides excellent traction, no shoe offers perfect grip on all surfaces. Reduce speed and shorten your stride on extremely slick or icy surfaces. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear, which can reduce traction.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that extend above the ankle cuff. Try adjusting your lacing technique to alleviate pressure points. A short break-in period may also resolve initial stiffness. If discomfort persists, check if the shoe size is correct.

ReactX foam is designed to be lightweight, but any shoe will accumulate some weight from mud and water in wet conditions. Ensure thorough cleaning and drying after each run to restore their original weight and feel. Consider if your training load is appropriate for the distance.
