Product Information
Full details
The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41 GORE-TEX is designed for adult male runners seeking reliable performance in wet weather conditions. Its key benefit is the waterproof GORE-TEX upper combined with responsive cushioning, allowing for comfortable runs regardless of the elements. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, the upper's breathability might be reduced in very warm, dry conditions compared to non-waterproof versions. This shoe features Air Zoom units and ReactX foam for lightness and energy return, a waterproof upper, reflective details, and ample comfort for winter runs.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41 features a GORE-TEX upper, which is a highly effective waterproof and breathable membrane designed to keep your feet dry from external moisture.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
While the GORE-TEX material is breathable, these shoes are optimized for wet and cooler conditions. In very hot weather, you might find them warmer than non-waterproof running shoes.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX upper?
Use a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with cool water and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the main difference between this and the standard Pegasus 41?
The primary difference is the GORE-TEX waterproof upper on this model, making it ideal for wet weather, while the standard Pegasus 41 typically focuses on maximum breathability.
How much cushioning does this shoe offer?
It offers responsive cushioning thanks to the Air Zoom units and ReactX foam midsole, providing a balance of softness and energy return for comfortable runs.
Are the reflective details effective?
Yes, the reflective details are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, improving safety for runners during dawn, dusk, or nighttime.
What type of running is this shoe best suited for?
This shoe is best suited for road running and light trail running, particularly in wet, rainy, or cold conditions where waterproofing is essential.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite waterproof claim
Ensure laces are tied securely and the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If the issue persists, consider that sweat can also contribute to dampness; moisture-wicking socks can help manage this.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The foam and Air Zoom units may naturally compress with significant mileage. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, depending on usage and terrain.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size and width are selected. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs. Experiment with different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points.
Smell due to frequent use in wet conditions
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry completely between uses. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
