Nike Pegasus Trail 5 - White - UK 8.5

These shoes are best suited for technical dirt roads, varied trail surfaces, and are also capable of handling short stretches of asphalt.

No, the engineered technical mesh upper is designed for breathability and moisture evaporation, rather than full waterproofing. This helps keep your feet cool and dry in most conditions, but water will eventually penetrate in very wet environments.

ReactX Foam is a proprietary Nike midsole cushioning technology that provides an ultra-responsive, soft, and energetic feel, delivering comfort and impact absorption during your runs.

The Nike Pegasus Trail 5 features a heel-to-toe drop of 9.5mm.

To clean, remove loose dirt by tapping the soles together. For the upper, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Air dry naturally away from direct heat.

While they can handle short stretches of asphalt, the Nike Pegasus Trail 5 is primarily designed and optimized for trail running. For extensive or dedicated long-distance road running, a shoe specifically designed for road performance might offer better comfort and efficiency.

Ensure the outsole treads are clear of compacted mud or debris, which can reduce traction. Adjust your stride to be shorter and more controlled on slippery terrain, engaging the full surface of the outsole.

Check your lacing to ensure it's secure but not too tight. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks designed to wick moisture and prevent friction. If issues persist, verify that the shoe size is correct for your foot, considering foot swelling during runs.

The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and moisture evaporation, not waterproofing. After wet runs, follow the drying instructions in the 'Care' section: air dry naturally, stuff with newspaper, and avoid direct heat sources to help them dry efficiently and maintain shape.
