Full details

Its key benefit is the combination of waterproof protection with a responsive, eco-friendly midsole that enhances energy return. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit, which is recommended to be tried before purchase. These trainers feature a full GORETEX upper, a new ReactX midsole for improved performance and reduced carbon footprint, and a durable, all-terrain outsole with a generative traction pattern.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance trail running?

Yes, the ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 GORETEX is designed for comfort and performance on long runs, offering good cushioning and support for varied trail conditions.

How does the ReactX foam differ from standard React foam?

ReactX foam offers a 13% increase in energy return and a 43% reduction in the carbon footprint of the midsoles compared to standard React foam, providing a more responsive and sustainable ride.

Can I wear these shoes in heavy rain on the road?

Absolutely. The GORETEX upper provides full waterproofing, making them ideal for running in heavy rain on both trails and roads.

What is the benefit of the high ankle cuff?

The high ankle cuff helps to prevent smaller debris, like pebbles, dirt, and twigs, from entering the shoe while you are running on trails, keeping your feet cleaner and more comfortable.

How durable is the outsole?

The Nike Trail ATC outsole is made with an all-terrain compound designed for durability and optimal grip across various surfaces in both wet and dry weather conditions.

What is the environmental impact of the ReactX midsole?

ReactX foam has a 43% lower carbon footprint compared to previous Nike running midsoles, achieved through a more sustainable manufacturing process.

What UK size is this specific guide for?

This guide specifically references the Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORETEX Trainers in Black, UK size 8.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORETEX upper

Ensure the shoe is properly laced and the tongue is positioned correctly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the GORETEX membrane. It is possible for moisture to build up from sweat, which is normal for waterproof footwear.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Check the outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean the sole with water and a brush. The generative traction pattern is designed for a wide range of conditions, but extreme mud or ice may still pose challenges.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Try adjusting the lacing system. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances. If discomfort persists, consult with a footwear specialist.

Midsole feels less responsive over time

While ReactX foam is designed for durability, prolonged heavy use will naturally lead to some reduction in cushioning and responsiveness. Follow care instructions to maintain material integrity. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for optimal comfort and performance. We recommend trying them on with your usual running socks before your first run.

Compatibility: Designed for adult female runners. Suitable for road running, trail running, and mixed-terrain use. Compatible with most standard athletic socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, especially on muddy trails, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odors and material degradation.
