Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX shoes come ready to wear. Simply adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit around your foot and ankle. The high ankle cuff is designed to sit snugly to prevent debris entry; ensure it doesn't cause any discomfort. We recommend a short break-in period on less challenging terrain to allow the shoe to mold to your foot.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for multi-terrain use, performing optimally on a blend of natural trails (muddy paths, gravel, dirt) and urban pavements. Their GORE-TEX construction makes them ideal for wet and damp conditions, providing reliable waterproof protection. They are suitable for daily training runs, moderate-distance trail excursions, and mixed-surface adventures.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your shoes:
- Cleaning: After muddy runs, gently brush off loose dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Do not submerge the entire shoe or use harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- GORE-TEX Care: The GORE-TEX membrane requires no special treatment beyond regular cleaning. Avoid using waterproofing sprays unless specifically recommended for GORE-TEX products, as they can sometimes impede breathability.
