These shoes require no special setup beyond proper lacing for a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to optimize comfort and to help seal out water from the upper opening. The Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX is highly compatible with a wide range of running activities, from daily training on mixed terrains to longer trail runs in challenging weather. For care, regularly remove excess mud and dirt by brushing it off or rinsing with cold water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane and foam. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Info needed: specific care instructions beyond general cleaning.
