FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for technical mountain climbing?
No, these are trail trainers designed for running and light hiking, not for high-altitude technical climbing or scrambling.
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, they are highly capable on road surfaces, though the lugs are specifically designed for trail durability.
How should I clean my trainers?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and wipe with a cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap.
Are these shoes waterproof?
This specific model features standard upper materials; for wet conditions, consider versions featuring Gore-Tex technology.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
They generally follow standard Nike sizing, but it is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the toe for downhill comfort.
What is the primary terrain for these shoes?
They are best suited for mixed-terrain, including fire roads, packed dirt trails, and light gravel.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through the midfoot eyelets and consider using the runner's loop knot for a more secure heel lock.
Accumulation of trail debris inside
Check that the tongue is centered and use a gaiter if running in extremely loose or rocky conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike React Pegasus Trail 5 trainers, proper care is essential. Always loosen the laces completely before putting on or taking off the shoes to prevent heel counter damage. If the shoes become muddy after a trail run, allow them to air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area—avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the foam and adhesives. Clean them with a soft brush and mild detergent, avoiding the washing machine, which can strip the materials of their structural integrity.
