FAQs
Can I use these for marathon running?

Are these waterproof?

How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your terrain and your running gait.
Are they true to size?
Yes, the Nike React Pegasus Trail 5 generally fits true to size for most adult runners.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
They are suitable for cardio machines and light gym work, but may lack the flat, rigid sole required for heavy weightlifting.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Check the lacing tension; it may be too tight over the bridge of the foot. Try a different lacing pattern to relieve pressure.
Excessive slipping on wet leaves or mud
While the tread is hybrid, it is not specialized for extreme slick surfaces; reduce your pace when navigating high-risk terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to prevent blisters.
- Cleaning: After a muddy run, allow the mud to dry before brushing it off with a soft-bristle brush. Avoid putting these in the washing machine as it can damage the structural integrity of the foam.
- Drying: If the shoes get soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with newspaper to absorb moisture. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this may warp the material.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating between two pairs to allow the React foam to decompress fully between uses.
