Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex - White - UK 14

Yes, the Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex features a Gore-Tex membrane, which is engineered to be waterproof and breathable, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.

While they can be used on roads, they are optimized for trail surfaces. The aggressive tread may wear faster on pavement, and the cushioning and support are tailored for uneven terrain.

Brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. If needed, use a damp cloth with cool water. Avoid soaps or detergents that could compromise the Gore-Tex membrane. Always air dry.

The primary advantage is its ability to keep your feet completely dry from external moisture (rain, puddles) while allowing some moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, maintaining comfort.

It's a standard lacing system designed to provide a secure and adjustable fit. You can tighten or loosen it across different parts of the foot to achieve personalized comfort and support.

Refer to Nike's sizing guide. Trail running shoes often benefit from a snug but comfortable fit, with enough room in the toe box for swelling during long runs. This specific model is available in UK size 14.

The Gore-Tex membrane is durable. With proper care and maintenance, the waterproofing should last for the expected lifespan of the shoe. Avoid abrasive cleaning or damage to the membrane.

Ensure the Gore-Tex membrane is intact and that water is not entering through the ankle collar. Check if laces are tied tightly enough to prevent water ingress. If the shoe itself is saturated, ensure proper drying methods are used.

Trail conditions vary greatly. Ensure the outsole is clear of mud or debris. For very smooth, wet rock, grip may be reduced as with any footwear. Consider alternative routes or adjust your stride.

Adjust the lacing system for a more secure or relaxed fit in specific areas. Ensure you are wearing appropriate trail running socks. Break-in the shoes on shorter runs before undertaking long distances.
