Product Information
Full details
The Nike Running ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a versatile shoe for trail running. Their key benefit is a smooth transition from road to trail with all-direction traction and neutral support. A potential consideration is that GORE-TEX waterproofing may slightly reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof models. These trainers feature a secure lace-up fastening, Flywire technology for midfoot lockdown, reflective details for visibility, ultra-responsive ReactX foam for cushioning, and a durable rubber outsole for enhanced grip.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very muddy trails?
The all-direction traction provides good grip, but extremely deep mud may challenge any shoe. The GORE-TEX will help keep your feet dry if they get submerged. Regular cleaning of the outsole is recommended.
How does the ReactX foam differ from standard React foam?
ReactX foam offers increased energy return and reduced environmental impact compared to previous React foams, providing a more responsive and sustainable cushioning experience.
Can I wear these for long-distance road running?
Yes, they are designed for versatility and can handle long distances on roads. However, for purely road-focused running, dedicated road shoes might offer marginal benefits in terms of weight or specific cushioning.
How do I know if I have a neutral foot strike?
Neutral runners typically strike the ground on the outside of their heel and roll slightly inward to absorb shock. If your wear pattern on old shoes is relatively even on the heel and forefoot, you likely have a neutral strike. Consulting a running specialist can provide a definitive assessment.
What is the advantage of GORE-TEX in running shoes?
GORE-TEX is a waterproof yet breathable membrane that protects your feet from external moisture, like rain and puddles, while allowing sweat vapor to escape, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions.
How often should I replace these trainers?
For optimal performance and injury prevention, it's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km), or when you notice significant wear on the outsole, midsole cushioning, or upper.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage despite GORE-TEX
Check for damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Ensure laces are tied securely. If damage is found, consider replacement. Clean regularly to maintain membrane integrity.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove accumulated dirt and debris. The rubber compound is designed for grip, but debris can impede performance. Inspect outsole for excessive wear.
Discomfort or hot spots during runs
Adjust the lacing system, paying attention to the Flywire lockdown. Ensure the correct size is being worn. Consider using different socks for varying conditions.
Foam feels less responsive over time
This is a natural process with all foam cushioning. Continue regular cleaning and allow the shoes to rest between runs. If performance significantly degrades, it may be time to consider replacement.
