Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature Gore-Tex technology which provides a protective barrier against rain and wet conditions while remaining breathable.
Can I use these for road running?
Absolutely. While they are built for trails, the design is versatile enough for smooth transitions between road and off-road surfaces.
How should I clean my React Pegasus Trail 5s?
Use a soft brush and a damp cloth with mild detergent. Never submerge them fully or use a washing machine.
Is the React foam good for long distances?
Yes, the React foam is specifically designed for comfort and energy return, making it suitable for long-distance training runs.
Do these fit true to size?
They generally fit true to size, but the Gore-Tex lining makes the upper slightly more rigid than standard versions; consider this if you prefer a looser fit.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
They provide excellent protection for winter weather, though they are technically trail running shoes and may not offer the ankle support of a hiking boot.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing feels less effective over time
Dirt buildup can block breathability and performance; keep the upper clean to maintain the membrane's function.
Foot feels too tight
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to provide more room in the midfoot, or ensure you are using thin performance socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, wear your typical running sock thickness during your first try-on, as the Gore-Tex membrane can create a slightly more structured fit compared to mesh uppers. For maintenance, avoid machine washing to preserve the Gore-Tex layer; instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage or warping of the foam.
