Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex - Black - UK 12

Yes, the integrated Gore-Tex membrane makes these shoes highly waterproof, effectively keeping your feet dry in rain, puddles, and wet terrain. However, water can enter if the shoe is fully submerged above the collar.

While they can handle short stretches of road, the Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex is optimized for trail conditions. Running extensively on pavement may wear down the specialized trail outsole faster and might not offer the same comfort or responsiveness as dedicated road running shoes.

Remove loose dirt with a soft brush, then hand wash using lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage the Gore-Tex membrane. Air dry naturally away from direct heat.

These shoes excel on varied natural terrains, including dirt paths, gravel trails, rocky singletracks, and muddy conditions. Their robust construction and aggressive traction are designed for the challenges of off-road environments.

Like most new running shoes, it's advisable to wear them for a few shorter runs before tackling longer distances. This allows the shoes to adapt to your foot shape and ensures maximum comfort.

The sizing generally follows standard Nike running shoe sizes. For the most accurate fit, we recommend referring to Nike's official size chart and considering your typical running shoe size. This specific variant is a UK 12.

Ensure pants or gaiters cover the top of the shoe to prevent water from entering over the collar. Also, prolonged submersion in deep water will eventually allow water ingress. Check for any physical damage to the Gore-Tex membrane.

While providing excellent traction, no shoe offers absolute grip on all surfaces (e.g., extremely wet, slick rocks or ice). Adapt your running stride and reduce speed in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of embedded debris.

Check your lacing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If new, allow for a brief break-in period. If discomfort persists, reassess your sizing or consider trying different insoles.
