Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 Shield - Trainers - Green/Orange - UK 12.5

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 Shield features water-repellent Shield technology, which is designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions and light rain. They are not fully waterproof and may not prevent water from entering during prolonged submersion.

The Shield technology helps to repel water, keeping your feet dry and comfortable during runs in wet weather. It also offers some protection against wind chill.

The visible Zoom Air unit in the forefoot provides responsive cushioning, offering a springy feel and helping to propel you forward with each stride.

These trainers are best suited for road running and light trails, especially in wet conditions. The grippy outsole provides optimal traction on wet surfaces.

Clean using a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents and do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow them to air dry naturally.

The primary difference is the 'Shield' aspect, which incorporates water-repellent materials and enhanced traction for adverse weather conditions, making them more suitable for rain and cold.

While water-repellent, the Shield technology is not fully waterproof. Prolonged submersion or heavy downpours may eventually lead to moisture ingress. Ensure laces are tied snugly to maximize protection.

The outsole is optimized for wet, non-muddy surfaces. For extremely muddy conditions, consider a trail-specific shoe with deeper lugs. Clean the outsole after use to maintain optimal grip.

The Zoom Air unit provides responsive cushioning which may feel firmer than maximalist shoes. Break-in the shoes with a few shorter runs to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure you are using the correct size; an ill-fitting shoe can impact the feel of the cushioning.
