FAQs
What is the main difference between ReactX foam and previous React foam?
ReactX foam offers 13% more energy return than previous React foam and a significantly lower carbon footprint, while maintaining plush cushioning.
Can I use these shoes for marathon running?
Yes, the ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 provides excellent cushioning and energy return suitable for marathon distances, both on roads and well-maintained trails.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They offer water resistance to a degree but are not designed for submersion or heavy rain.
What kind of arch support do they offer?
The Nike ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 offers neutral arch support, making them suitable for runners who do not require significant pronation control.
How durable is the outsole?
The Trail ATC rubber compound is engineered for durability on light to moderate trails, with a generative traction pattern and strategic wrapping to enhance grip and wear resistance.
Can I wear these if I have wide feet?
The shoe is designed to accommodate a range of foot shapes, but it is not specifically a wide-fit shoe. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or consider sizing up if you typically require a wider fit.
What terrain is the traction pattern best suited for?
The traction pattern is optimized for light to moderate trails, including surfaces like packed dirt, gravel, roots, and light mud. It also performs well on pavement.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit initially
The engineered mesh and Flywire system may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter runs initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
Reduced traction on very wet or muddy surfaces
The Trail ATC rubber outsole is designed for light to moderate trails. For extremely slick conditions, consider using shoes with more aggressive tread patterns or specialized trail grip.
Shoe feels less cushioned after extended use
Foam cushioning naturally compresses over time. Ensure the shoes are properly cared for and avoid excessive exposure to heat. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes to extend the life of the cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 comes ready to wear. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them snugly using the integrated Flywire system. Adjust the tightness to your preference for optimal midfoot security and comfort.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male runners with a neutral gait. They are suitable for a wide range of foot shapes. While engineered for light to moderate trails and roads, they are not intended for extreme mountaineering or highly technical, rocky terrain.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your shoes:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes 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 shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
