FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While the cushioning is suitable for some road running, the outsole is specifically designed for trail traction. For dedicated road running, a road-specific shoe would generally perform better.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with cool water and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
How long does the Gore-Tex waterproofing last?
The Gore-Tex membrane is designed for durability. With proper care and regular cleaning, the waterproofing should remain effective for the lifespan of the shoe.
Are these trainers good for hiking?
Yes, the durable construction, comfortable cushioning, and reliable traction make these trainers a good option for hiking, especially on trails where wet conditions are expected.
What is the main advantage of the Gore-Tex material?
The primary advantage is that it keeps your feet dry by preventing water from entering the shoe, while still allowing some moisture vapor (sweat) to escape.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite Gore-Tex
Ensure laces are tied correctly to maintain a snug fit, preventing water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the Gore-Tex membrane. If water is coming from sweat, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Traction is poor on a specific surface
Trail conditions can vary. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris that could impede grip. For extremely slick surfaces, extra caution may be needed regardless of shoe traction.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or tight
The Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks or runs initially. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly for a secure but not overly tight fit.
Reduced breathability
Gore-Tex offers a balance of waterproofing and breathability. For very warm conditions, non-waterproof trail shoes might offer better ventilation. Ensure you're wearing moisture-wicking socks to help manage internal moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Designed for adult female foot sizes (UK 8 specified in this guide, but available in other sizes). Suitable for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor activities.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, gently brush off loose dirt and debris. For heavier cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Never use direct heat (like radiators or hairdryers) to dry the shoes, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The Gore-Tex membrane is durable, but avoid excessive exposure to oils or solvents. Regular cleaning helps maintain its performance.
