Full details
The Nike Pegasus 41 GORE-TEX trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a comfortable and responsive shoe for wet weather conditions.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the GORE-TEX upper provides a waterproof barrier to keep your feet dry in wet conditions. However, proper lacing is essential to prevent water from entering the top.
Can I wear these for everyday use, not just running?
Yes, their comfort and waterproof features make them suitable for casual wear in wet weather, though they are optimized for running performance.
How do I maintain the waterproofness of the GORE-TEX material?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and proper air drying will help maintain the material's integrity. Avoid heat sources that can degrade the membrane.
What is the main difference between this and a standard Pegasus 41?
The primary difference is the addition of the GORE-TEX waterproof upper on this model, making it ideal for wet weather, whereas the standard version may prioritize maximum breathability.
How durable is the ReactX foam midsole?
ReactX foam is engineered for durability and improved energy return, designed to withstand a significant amount of mileage while retaining its responsive qualities.
Are the reflective details effective in low light?
Yes, the reflective details are designed to enhance visibility when illuminated by light sources in low-light conditions, such as headlights.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blend socks are recommended to complement the waterproof nature of the shoe and keep your feet comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX.
Ensure the shoes are correctly sized and laces are tied snugly. Water may be entering from the top if not laced properly. Also, check if socks are absorbing moisture and transferring it.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.
The foam may need a break-in period. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect the midsole. Over time, cushioning naturally reduces; consider replacement after significant mileage.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While designed for wet conditions, extreme surfaces can still be slippery. Ensure the outsole is clean. For significantly slick conditions, exercise caution and consider running surfaces with better grip.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Try different sock thicknesses. Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your foot.
