Nike React Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex - Black - Trainers - UK 12

While designed for running, their comfort and waterproof features make them suitable for casual wear in wet conditions.

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Ensure the heel cup is snug and there's no excessive slipping.

Gore-Tex is breathable, but it is also waterproof. Some users may experience more warmth than in non-waterproof shoes, especially in very hot weather. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can help manage this.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's construction and affect the waterproof membrane. Hand wash with mild soap and water only.

The Gore-Tex membrane is durable and designed to last the lifetime of the shoe when properly cared for. Regular cleaning helps maintain its performance.

Nike React cushioning provides a balance of softness and responsiveness, offering consistent energy return and shock absorption for a comfortable ride over long distances and varied terrain.

Yes, the robust outsole and waterproof features make them a good option for light to moderate hiking, especially in wet or varied terrain where grip and dryness are important.

Ensure the laces are tied snugly and the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water entry from the top. Check for any damage to the Gore-Tex material or seams.

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove embedded mud or debris. The tread pattern is designed for grip, but build-up can reduce its effectiveness.

While Gore-Tex offers waterproofing, it can reduce overall breathability. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks and running during cooler parts of the day. Ensure the laces are not tied excessively tight, which can restrict airflow.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs. Experiment with different sock types and lacing techniques.
