Product Information
Full details
The Nike React Pegasus Trail 5 is designed for active adults who demand a versatile trainer capable of handling both paved roads and rugged trail surfaces with ease. Its primary benefit lies in the responsive cushioning and stable construction, which provides sustained energy return and foot security across varying terrains. A potential caveat for prospective buyers is that while it is highly capable on mixed terrain, those requiring specialized rock plates for highly technical mountain terrain may find it slightly less rigid than dedicated hiking footwear.

FAQs
Can I use these shoes for pure road running?
Yes, the React Pegasus Trail 5 is designed as a hybrid and performs excellently on pavement.
Are these shoes waterproof?
This specific model features standard performance mesh; for wet conditions, look for Gore-Tex variants within the Pegasus Trail series.
How long should these trainers last?
Typically, these should provide optimal performance for 300-500 miles, depending on the terrain and your running mechanics.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The Pegasus Trail 5 provides neutral support suitable for most runners; those with severe over-pronation may benefit from custom orthotics.
Can I wash these in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash or dry your shoes, as this can break down the adhesives and foam properties.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping on wet rock
While the tread is hybrid, reduce speed on non-porous wet surfaces as the shoe is optimized for soft trails and road surfaces.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the mid-foot to create a tighter seal; consider using trail gaiters for extremely dusty conditions.
Cushioning feeling compressed
Allow the React foam 24-48 hours to recover after long runs to ensure maximum energy return for your next session.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent versatility for road-to-trail transitions
- Highly responsive cushioning reduces fatigue
- Lightweight build promotes speed and agility
- Durable construction handles rugged outdoor elements well
- Stable platform reduces the risk of ankle rolls on uneven ground
Cons
- May lack the stiff rock protection of dedicated technical trail shoes
- Not intended for extreme mud or deep winter snow conditions
- Fit may vary slightly compared to pure racing flats
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure you have selected your correct UK size, as the Pegasus series is designed for a performance fit that cradles the foot. When fitting, ensure there is a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
Care Instructions:
- Remove excess dirt after each trail run using a soft-bristled brush.
- Clean the mesh upper using a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge in water.
- Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the foam.
- Replace the insoles if they lose their shape to maintain structural support.
