Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex - Black - Size UK 11 - FQ0908-007

The integrated Gore-tex technology provides excellent waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry in rain, puddles, and wet trail conditions. It's also breathable, allowing sweat vapor to escape.

While primarily designed for trails, the responsive cushioning makes them comfortable enough for road running. However, the aggressive tread might wear faster on asphalt compared to road-specific shoes, and they may feel slightly heavier.

Brush off loose dirt, then clean with lukewarm water and a mild soap using a soft cloth or brush. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

The Gore-tex membrane provides waterproofing but can reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes. While breathable for a waterproof shoe, they might feel warmer in very hot, humid conditions.

They excel on a variety of rugged terrains including dirt trails, gravel paths, muddy sections, and rocky environments, thanks to their durable construction and multi-directional traction outsole.

Lace them up snugly, ensuring your heel feels secure without sliding and your toes have enough room to move slightly. Consider trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for running or hiking.

Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly. Check that water isn't entering over the top of the shoe (e.g., from deep puddles). Verify the integrity of the Gore-tex by checking for visible tears or punctures. Ensure socks are appropriate for moisture-wicking.

Like many durable trail shoes, a short break-in period may be necessary. Wear them for shorter periods or walks before attempting long runs. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Inspect the outsole for excessive wear on the lugs. Different surfaces (e.g., wet roots vs. dry rock) require different traction strategies, and no single sole is perfect for everything. Ensure the sole is clean of mud or debris that could impede grip.

Ensure shoes are fully dried after each use. Remove insoles occasionally to air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Wash insoles if removable and machine-washable.
