Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit, allowing enough room in the toe box for natural foot splay during runs. Lace them to your preferred snugness, ensuring heel lockdown without causing discomfort.
Compatibility: The Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex is designed primarily for trail running. While they can be used on paved surfaces for short distances, their grip and cushioning are optimized for off-road terrain. They are compatible with most types of moisture-wicking running socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After a run, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Never dry shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuff them loosely with newspaper or a towel to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The Gore-Tex membrane is durable, but avoid excessive abrasion. If the outer fabric seems to be losing its water repellency, a gentle wash may help restore it. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
