Nike Pegasus Trail 5 - Black - UK 12

These shoes are primarily designed for technical dirt roads, gravel paths, and light to moderate trails. They also perform well on short stretches of asphalt, making them versatile for mixed-surface runs.

The engineered technical mesh upper provides excellent breathability and some water resistance for light splashes, but they are not fully waterproof. For extremely wet conditions, a dedicated waterproof trail shoe would be more suitable.

Allow mud and dirt to dry, then brush it off. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse lightly and air dry completely away from direct heat.

Running shoe lifespan varies based on mileage, terrain, and individual running style, but generally, trail shoes last between 300-500 miles. Pay attention to outsole wear and cushioning feel for signs it's time for a new pair.

While they can handle short asphalt sections, the multi-directional cleated outsole is optimized for trail grip and might feel less smooth or wear faster if used exclusively for road running. Dedicated road running shoes are recommended for purely road-based training.

Nike running shoes generally run true to size, but fit can vary by individual. It's recommended to try them on or consult a sizing guide. This specific variant is a UK 12 for adult males.

Ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. Check your lacing technique; sometimes adjusting tightness in specific areas can alleviate pressure points. Allow for a proper break-in period with shorter runs.

Inspect the outsole for mud, dirt, or small stones lodged in the cleats. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the cleats appear significantly worn down, it might be time to consider replacing the shoes.

Always allow shoes to air dry completely after each run. Remove insoles to dry separately. Consider using shoe deodorizers or stuffing shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Avoid storing them in damp, enclosed spaces.
