Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex - Trainers - UK 5

The Gore-Tex provides waterproofing and some insulation, but these are primarily trail trainers. For extreme cold, consider insulated winter boots.

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

It is not recommended to machine wash Gore-Tex footwear, as this can damage the membrane and adhesives. Hand wash as per the care instructions.

The Gore-Tex is breathable, but waterproof shoes can be warmer than non-waterproof ones. They are generally comfortable, but if you run in very hot, dry conditions, alternatives might be considered.

The primary difference is the inclusion of Gore-Tex, making these models waterproof, whereas standard Pegasus Trail shoes are not.

When cared for properly, the Gore-Tex membrane is designed to be durable and maintain its waterproofness for the lifespan of the footwear.

Ensure socks are not saturated from the top opening and that the Gore-Tex membrane itself is not compromised. Check for debris around the ankle collar. Allow shoes to dry completely inside and out.

Clean the outsole treads thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be hindering grip. Ensure you are on a surface the shoe is designed for; extreme slickness may still challenge any tread pattern.

Allow for a break-in period of a few wearings. Ensure laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing thicker or thinner socks depending on your preference.
