Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex sneakers:
- Cleaning:
- After runs, especially on muddy trails, gently brush off loose dirt and debris.
- Use a soft cloth or sponge with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents.
- For the Gore-Tex membrane, avoid using strong chemicals or bleach as they can damage the waterproof barrier.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Drying:
- Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, hairdryers, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives, including the Gore-Tex membrane.
- You can stuff the shoes with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage:
- Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid crushing them, which can alter their shape or damage the materials.
- Maintenance:
- Periodically check the laces for wear and replace them if necessary.
- Inspect the outsole for excessive wear to determine when replacement might be needed for optimal traction.
