Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex - Silver - UK 12

The Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex is excellent for most moderate trails, including dirt paths, gravel, and light mud. For extremely technical, rocky, or heavily overgrown trails, you might find shoes specifically designed for those conditions offer more protection and aggressive grip.

Yes, their versatile design makes them suitable for daily road running, especially if you encounter wet conditions or prefer a shoe with extra protection and robust construction.

Brush off loose dirt, then use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap to clean the upper and outsole. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.

Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable fabric membrane integrated into the shoe's construction. It prevents water from entering the shoe from the outside while allowing moisture vapor (sweat) from your feet to escape, helping to keep your feet dry and comfortable.

Nike Pegasus Trail models generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on or consulting a size guide. If you often wear thick running socks, you might consider a half-size up.

With proper care, the Gore-Tex membrane is designed to maintain its waterproofing and breathability for the functional life of the shoe. Regular cleaning and air drying, avoiding harsh chemicals, will help preserve its integrity.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the Gore-Tex membrane, adhesives, and other materials, potentially compromising the shoe's structure and waterproofing. Always hand wash as per the care instructions.

Ensure your laces are properly tightened to prevent water ingress from the ankle opening. Check if your socks are wicking moisture effectively; cotton socks can retain water. Also, inspect the shoe for any visible damage or punctures that might compromise the Gore-Tex membrane. If the shoe is old, the Gore-Tex may have lost some effectiveness.

Clean the outsole thoroughly, as accumulated mud or debris can reduce traction. Assess the type of terrain you're running on; while versatile, these shoes might not offer maximum grip on extremely technical or icy trails. Consider your running form, as poor foot placement can also impact grip.

This is a common characteristic of Gore-Tex footwear due to its waterproof membrane. Try wearing thin, synthetic running socks designed for moisture-wicking to improve comfort. For very hot and humid conditions, you might consider non-Gore-Tex shoes if waterproof protection isn't critical.

Adjust your lacing pattern; sometimes skipping an eyelet or using a different lacing technique can alleviate pressure. Ensure you have the correct size and width. If discomfort persists, consider using different insoles for better arch support or cushioning specific to your foot shape.
