The Nike ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 running shoes are engineered for adventurers who demand performance across varied landscapes. They offer a versatile design perfect for transitioning seamlessly between road runs and light to moderate trail expeditions. While excelling in cushioning and secure fit for diverse terrains, users should note their primary strength lies in less extreme off-road conditions rather than highly technical, aggressive trails.
ReactX Foam Midsole: Provides exceptionally responsive cushioning with 13% more energy return compared to previous versions, contributing to a smoother ride and reduced carbon footprint.
Flywire Technology: Integrated with the lacing system, Flywire cables secure the midfoot for a locked-in, stable, and confident fit on uneven ground.
Engineered Mesh Upper: Features open holes for enhanced breathability where needed most, alongside a tighter weave in high-wear zones for improved durability and protection.
Trail All Terrain Compound (ATC) Rubber Outsole: Designed with a generative traction pattern that delivers reliable grip and durability specifically for light to moderate trails, including rocky paths, gravel, and muddy stretches.
Versatile Performance: Built to perform equally well on pavement as it does on trails, making it an ideal choice for runners whose routes combine both surfaces.
Neutral Arch Support: Accommodates a wide range of foot shapes and pronation types, suitable for most recreational and serious runners.
Exceptional Cushioning: ReactX foam delivers a plush, responsive feel and superior energy return.
Secure, Stable Fit: Flywire technology ensures your foot stays locked in, crucial for trail running.
Versatile Traction: Outsole provides reliable grip on both road and light to moderate trails.
Breathable & Durable Upper: Engineered mesh balances comfort with protection in key areas.
Lower Carbon Footprint: ReactX foam is produced with a manufacturing process that results in a lower carbon footprint.
Smooth Transitions: Designed for seamless movement from pavement to dirt trails.
Moderate Trail Focus: While versatile, the outsole traction is optimized for light to moderate trails and may not suffice for extremely technical or aggressive off-road conditions.
Info needed: [Specific weight comparison if available]: May feel slightly heavier than dedicated road-only shoes due to trail features.

The Nike ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 is a true hybrid, excelling in scenarios where your run takes you from urban streets to natural paths. Its ReactX foam midsole provides a noticeable spring underfoot, making long road miles comfortable, while instantly adapting to absorb impact on uneven trail surfaces. For trail running, the Trail ATC rubber outsole grips reliably on gravel roads, packed dirt, and even light mud, allowing confident strides over rocky paths and varied terrain. The Flywire lacing system is particularly effective when navigating switchbacks or descending hills, keeping your foot firmly in place and preventing slippage within the shoe. The engineered mesh upper ensures your feet remain cool during warmer runs or extended efforts, resisting abrasion in high-contact areas. This shoe is your go-to for daily training runs that involve mixed terrain, weekend adventures on well-maintained trails, or any run where you appreciate a balance of cushioning, grip, and protection without the bulk of a heavy-duty trail shoe.
Your Nike Pegasus Trail 5 shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up, adjusting the Flywire technology by pulling the laces to achieve a snug, secure fit around your midfoot. Ensure a comfortable, non-restrictive feel before heading out.
These shoes are designed with neutral arch support, making them suitable for runners with various foot types, including those with normal arches. They accommodate a range of foot shapes, offering a comfortable experience for most adult runners (Male, UK 8).
To maintain the longevity and performance of your Nike Pegasus Trail 5 shoes:
Cleaning: Refer to the product label for specific care instructions. Generally, clean dirt and debris from the upper and outsole using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
