Product Information
Full details
The Nike Running ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 trainers are designed for female adult runners seeking a versatile shoe for both trail running and hiking, offering a smooth transition from road to trail with neutral support. A key benefit is the advanced ReactX foam midsole for responsive cushioning and the durable outsole for superior traction on varied terrain. However, the specialized nature of the trail-focused outsole may provide less optimal grip on very smooth, wet surfaces compared to road-specific shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While they offer excellent cushioning for long distances, their trail-specific design and outsole are optimized for varied terrain rather than the consistent pounding of road marathons. For pure road marathons, a dedicated road running shoe might be more suitable.
Can I wear these for everyday walking?
Yes, the comfortable ReactX foam and supportive design make them a great choice for everyday walking and casual wear, offering good comfort and stability.
How does the ReactX foam differ from Nike's other foams?
ReactX foam is designed to provide greater energy return and improved cushioning compared to previous React foam, while also aiming for a reduced environmental footprint in its production.
What is the intended terrain for the Pegasus Trail 5?
These shoes are designed for a mix of surfaces, including roads, gravel paths, dirt trails, and light hiking routes. The outsole provides enhanced grip for varied and uneven terrain.
How do I know if I have the right fit?
A proper fit means there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without excessive slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably cradled by the laces and Flywire technology.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and quick drainage, which is beneficial in wet trail conditions, but they will not keep your feet dry in heavy rain or when submerged.
How durable is the outsole?
The Nike Trail All-Terrain Composite rubber outsole is engineered for increased abrasion resistance, making it durable for trail use. However, extreme wear on rough surfaces can still occur over time.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is free of mud and debris. For very slick surfaces, consider that these are trail-focused and may have limitations compared to specialized road or grip shoes.
Laces feel insecure or loosen during activity.
Re-tie the laces, ensuring they are pulled snug through the Flywire eyelets. Consider double-knotting if the issue persists.
Discomfort or hot spots during runs.
Adjust the lacing to alleviate pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Break in the shoes gradually before undertaking long distances.
Reflective details appear worn.
Reflective elements are subject to wear over time with regular use and cleaning. This is cosmetic and does not affect the shoe's performance or safety features.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to use right out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them securely, adjusting the tension across the midfoot for optimal comfort and support. The Flywire system works best when the laces are tied firmly.
Compatibility: Designed for female adult foot sizes (UK 8 listed), they are compatible with standard athletic socks. They perform best on mixed terrain, including roads, gravel paths, dirt trails, and light hiking routes.
Care: To maintain performance and extend the life of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt and mud with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
