Nike React Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX Trainers - Purple/Pink - UK 8.5

While they can be used for short distances on roads, their design, particularly the ATC outsole, is optimized for trail and outdoor terrain. For exclusively road running, other models might be more suitable.

Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, and always air dry. Proper care helps maintain the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane.

ReactX foam is an evolution of Nike's cushioning technology, designed to provide enhanced responsiveness and energy return with a softer feel compared to previous iterations.

The breathable mesh upper combined with the GORE-TEX membrane offers a balance of breathability and waterproofing. While they are designed for all-weather use, in very high temperatures, the waterproofing layer might retain slightly more heat than a purely mesh shoe.

The key difference is the inclusion of the GORE-TEX membrane in the 'GORE-TEX' version, providing enhanced waterproof and windproof protection, making it ideal for wet and adverse conditions.

These trainers are available in various adult women's UK sizes. Please check the product listing for the most up-to-date size availability.

Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Minor dampness can sometimes occur from sweat evaporation; ensure the upper is not compromised.

Clean the outsole tread of mud or debris. The ATC outsole is designed for trails; performance on extremely slick man-made surfaces like polished concrete may be reduced.

Allow for a break-in period of a few runs. Ensure the lacing provides a secure but not constricting fit. Try different sock thicknesses.

This is normal for GORE-TEX and contributes to its durability and waterproofing. The material will soften slightly with wear and use.
