Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex - Black - Size UK 15 - FQ0908-007

Yes, the integrated Gore-Tex membrane provides durable waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry in rain, puddles, and wet conditions. However, water can still enter if it goes over the top collar of the shoe.

While technically possible, these shoes are specifically designed for trail running. Their aggressive outsole tread is optimized for off-road traction and may feel less comfortable or wear faster on pavement. We recommend them primarily for trails and outdoor adventures.

Remove loose dirt with a brush. Hand wash with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing. Air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources, which can damage the Gore-Tex membrane.

They are ideal for varied off-road terrains including dirt paths, rocky trails, muddy sections, and uneven surfaces. The traction and cushioning are designed to handle the unpredictable nature of trails.

The Gore-Tex membrane itself is permanently waterproof. However, the outer fabric has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating that may diminish over time. If water stops beading up on the surface, you can apply a DWR spray designed for technical footwear to refresh it.

The Pegasus cushioning offers a responsive and comfortable feel, absorbing impact from rocks and roots while providing a springy sensation. This helps reduce fatigue and enhance energy return, especially on longer trail runs.

Yes, Gore-Tex is designed to be both waterproof and breathable. While they might not be as airy as a non-waterproof mesh shoe, the Gore-Tex membrane allows sweat vapor to escape, helping to keep your feet comfortable and prevent overheating.

Ensure water isn't entering over the top of the shoe (e.g., from deep puddles or splashes). Check the Gore-Tex membrane for any small tears or punctures that might compromise waterproofing. Proper lacing can also help prevent water ingress around the ankle.

Regularly clean the outsole to prevent mud and debris from clogging the lugs, which can reduce traction. Inspect the tread for excessive wear; worn-down lugs will offer less grip. Adjust your stride and foot placement on extremely slick surfaces.

Ensure you have the correct size and fit, considering foot swelling during longer runs. Experiment with different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points. Try different socks (e.g., thicker or thinner, different materials) to optimize comfort and prevent friction.
