Full details
The Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX Running Shoes are designed for avid trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable performance in challenging, wet conditions. Their primary benefit lies in combining responsive cushioning with waterproof protection, allowing for comfortable and dry exploration across varied terrains. Be mindful that while the GORE-TEX membrane offers excellent waterproofing, it might slightly reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof trail shoes in extremely hot and dry environments.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, thanks to the integrated GORE-TEX membrane, these shoes are designed to be fully waterproof, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions like rain, puddles, and wet trails. However, water can still enter over the top of the shoe if submerged above the ankle.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While primarily designed for trails, the ReactX foam midsole offers comfortable cushioning that can handle short stretches of road. However, for exclusive road running, a shoe specifically designed for asphalt might offer better optimization for that surface and potentially lighter weight.
How do I clean my Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX shoes?
Gently rinse off loose dirt with cool water. Use a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap for stubborn areas. Remove insoles and air dry them thoroughly at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
We recommend wearing technical running socks made from moisture-wicking synthetic materials (like polyester or nylon) or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks, as they absorb sweat and can lead to discomfort and blisters in wet conditions.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Like many trail running shoes, a short break-in period of a few short runs or walks is recommended. This allows the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort and performance on longer distances.
What is the weight of these shoes?
> Info needed: Specific weight in grams/ounces for UK 11. Generally, GORE-TEX trail shoes are slightly heavier than non-waterproof road shoes due to added protection and robust outsoles.
Troubleshooting
My feet still feel wet, even with GORE-TEX.
Check if water is entering from the top (e.g., splashing over the collar, or running down your legs). Also, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks, as sweat can accumulate if socks are not breathable. The GORE-TEX membrane stops external water but doesn't prevent sweat.
I'm experiencing discomfort or blisters on longer runs.
First, ensure the shoe size and fit are correct; too loose or too tight can cause issues. Experiment with different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points. Wear appropriate, broken-in running socks made of synthetic or wool materials. If new, allow a break-in period for the shoes to adapt to your feet.
The traction feels less effective on certain surfaces.
While the ATC outsole provides excellent multi-directional grip, no shoe is infallible on all surfaces. Adjust your stride and pace on extremely muddy, icy, or very wet rock sections. Regularly clean the outsole lugs to ensure maximum bite, as packed dirt can reduce effectiveness.
The shoes are retaining odors.
Ensure shoes are fully air-dried after each use. Remove the insoles to allow them to dry separately. You can use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to neutralize smells. Avoid storing them in damp, enclosed spaces.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- All-Weather Protection: GORE-TEX technology keeps feet dry in rain, puddles, and muddy conditions.
- Superior Cushioning: ReactX foam offers excellent comfort and energy return for extended trail runs.
- Reliable Traction: The ATC outsole provides confident grip on diverse and challenging surfaces.
- Durable Construction: Built to endure tough trail environments and frequent use.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor exploration.
Cons
- Reduced Breathability in Heat: GORE-TEX, while breathable, can feel warmer than non-waterproof shoes in very hot, dry climates.
- Weight: May be slightly heavier than minimalist or road-specific running shoes due to its robust construction and waterproofing.
- Initial Stiffness: Like many durable trail shoes, they might require a short break-in period to achieve optimal flexibility and comfort.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied to provide a snug, comfortable fit without being overly tight, which can restrict blood flow or cause pressure points. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what works best for your foot shape and activity.
- Socks: Pair these shoes with appropriate running socks, ideally synthetic blends or wool, which wick moisture away from your skin. Avoid cotton socks, especially in wet conditions, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters.
Compatibility
- Terrain: Excellently suited for diverse trail conditions including dirt paths, gravel, rocky terrains, light mud, and wet surfaces.
- Weather: Designed for all-weather use, excelling in wet, damp, and cool conditions. While breathable, for extreme heat, consider a non-GORE-TEX option if waterproofing isn't critical.
- Activities: Perfect for trail running, hiking, fast-packing, and general outdoor walking.
Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and performance of your GORE-TEX shoes:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially if muddy, remove excess dirt by gently rinsing them under cool running water. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to scrub away stubborn dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap or a specialized footwear cleaner with cool water.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Remove insoles and loosen laces to promote airflow. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces, direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Reproofing: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the outer fabric may wear off. You can restore this by applying a GORE-TEX-approved DWR spray or wash-in treatment to maintain optimal water repellency.
