Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE TEX - White - UK 9

These shoes are best suited for runners who need a versatile option for mixed terrain, including paved roads, gravel paths, and light to moderate trails. Their waterproof design makes them ideal for all-weather conditions.

Yes, the GORE-TEX upper provides durable waterproof protection, designed to keep your feet dry in rain, puddles, and wet trail conditions, while still allowing for breathability.

To clean, gently brush off loose dirt. For more stubborn grime, use a soft cloth or sponge with a small amount of mild soap and cold water. Air dry them naturally away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

ReactX foam is a new midsole technology developed by Nike. It offers improved responsiveness with a 13% increase in energy return compared to standard React foam, and also boasts a 43% reduction in its carbon footprint, making it more environmentally friendly.

While primarily designed for running, their comfortable cushioning, versatile grip, and stylish design make them a suitable option for casual everyday wear, especially in variable weather conditions where waterproof protection is beneficial.

With proper care, the GORE-TEX membrane is designed to last the lifetime of the shoe. However, extreme wear, punctures, or improper cleaning can compromise its integrity over time. Regular cleaning helps maintain its performance.

While GORE-TEX provides breathability, it inherently offers less ventilation than non-waterproof materials. In very hot and dry conditions, you might find them warmer than a non-GORE-TEX running shoe. They excel in cool, wet, or mild conditions.

Check if water is entering over the top of the ankle cuff or through the lacing system. Ensure your socks are not wicking water into the shoe from above. In very heavy rain or deep puddles, gaiters may be necessary for additional protection. Also, inspect the GORE-TEX membrane for any signs of damage.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of excessive mud or debris, which can reduce traction. While the generative traction is excellent, no shoe offers universal grip on all surfaces. Adjust your stride and pace according to the terrain. If conditions are extremely slick (e.g., icy), exercise extra caution.

A short break-in period is often needed for new running shoes. Wear them for shorter runs on familiar, less technical terrain to allow them to conform to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks that prevent rubbing. If discomfort persists, check your lacing tension.
