FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the GORE-TEX material provides a waterproof barrier, protecting your feet from rain and puddles.
Can I use these shoes for running in hot weather?
While waterproof, GORE-TEX can be less breathable than standard materials. They are optimized for wet and cooler conditions. For very hot weather, a non-waterproof version might be more comfortable.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX upper?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, which can damage the membrane's integrity.
What is the main benefit of ReactX foam?
ReactX foam provides improved energy return and reduces the environmental impact compared to previous foam technologies, offering a lighter and more responsive feel.
Are these suitable for trails?
The durable outsole offers good traction, making them suitable for light trails and mixed terrain, especially in wet conditions. For technical or very muddy trails, specialized trail shoes might offer superior grip.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for durability. However, like all materials, it can degrade over extended periods of heavy use and exposure. Proper care will help maintain its performance.
What is the difference between this and the standard Air Zoom Pegasus 41?
The primary difference is the GORE-TEX waterproof upper, making this version ideal for wet weather. The standard version prioritizes maximum breathability.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX material
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not damaged. Water may seep in if there are small tears or holes. Also, check if sweat is causing dampness, as GORE-TEX is waterproof but not always fully breathable against intense sweat.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If wear is significant, consider replacement as the tread pattern is crucial for grip.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs. Check sock compatibility and ensure they are properly fitted to avoid friction points.
Reflective details fading
Reflective elements can degrade over time with repeated washing and wear. This is a natural process. Avoid harsh cleaning methods that can accelerate fading.

Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the GORE-TEX material and other components.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet inside, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
