Nike - Pegasus Trail 4 GTX

Yes they are awesome shoes. But I’m a toe dragger and my right toe sole tore up so bad they are unusable. They are so comfortable though. I switched to adidas terrex hiking shoes (they have a gore-Tex version.) they are a little better imo. A little wider toe box and the ankle support is great for rocky paths.

I swear by Nike Pegasus for trail shoes. I have the Nathan Pinnacle vest and love it, but it’s >$100

These are the best combo of most comfortable, lightest, and water resistant out there IMO. Several pros on tour wear these, and there’s a reason. You can usually find them on sale somewhere. I’ve had 3 pairs. I’ve tried Merrell, Adidas Terrex, Vivo, and a few others. You will not find a more versatile shoe that you can wear in both hot and cold weather (not super cold, I still have some fully waterproof boots for snow/freezing rounds)

This is the best disc golf shoe I’ve ever worn. Ive had 6 pairs over the last 5 years and they’re still kicking. I usually keep 2 pairs Going at a time in case I want to switch to a fresh pair between tournament rounds

I have Nike trail runners, I love them-they have support in the toes for when you smash your foot in a root. I cramp badly if I eat as well-so following for the rest. ??

For a trail running shoe the atc rubber outsole on the Nike peg trail is particularly un “luggy“. In fact that is the biggest complaint I hear against it in the store I work.

Consider the Nike Pegadus Trail for a good road-to-trail shoe. They've been great for me! And yes, do recommend rotating through pairs if you are running regularly!

I had the Goretex ones before, but switched to the non-goretex this year. They’re more breathable but IMO aesthetically they look cheaper. The goretex material has a kind of matte finish that looks nicer. But you can’t completely customise the colours of the goretex shoes which sucks because the default colour schemes are a bit meh

Truth be told I don’t see anything on there that’s worth getting Agro or heavy lugged. I think some Pegasus Trail or even Salomon sense ride would be just fine. Due to the fact that this thing can probably be a little bit muddy. I get something with a little bit of grip and something that will be able to shed a bit of water and or mud. I think something lugged here is going to pick up mud really bad. My vote here is for the Pegasus. If it had been a gravel or had much rock at all, I may suggest something else, but this looks pretty vanilla.

I use trail running shoes for trail hiking and for golf… I have two pairs of HOKA trail running shoes that I have moved to every day shoes because I also wasn’t able to get them in Gore Tex. I alternate two pairs of Nike Pegasus with Gore Tex and love the water proof and thus will not buy another trail runner that isn’t water PROOF!

Merrell Moab shoes were definitely comfortable and durable. But heavy and bulky for me. I just bought Nike Pegasus to try out after the Moabs heels died on me.

I adore my Hoka speedgoats - have worn them for many years, but prefer to travel with an all-in-one shoe that's a bit lighter unless I'm running in actual mountains with tougher terrain. I just got a pair of the Nike pegasus trail and liking them so far!

I love my Genesis but find if the trail has paved bits, it kills my heel. I hate that one part so much I just got Pegasus trails for mixed situations.

\+1! had them in black, and in blue. Great shoes for hiking also. heck, even for running I like them better than the regular Pegasus.

I really liked the Nike Pegasus Trail 4 as a road-to-trail shoe. Have 350+ miles on mine, haven’t tried the 5’s. I mostly wear either trails shoes for majority-trail runs or road shoes for majority-road runs these days, though.

I like my Nike pegasus trails, but I usually just use them on not so technical trails and in the winter on roads when there's snow everywhere. For really technical terrain maybe a shoe with a harder sole would suit you better, but I like the shoe for beginner friendly trails!

The Pegasus Trail is great for non-technical trails

I used the all black Xero Mesa Trail II for this purpose, and also as my daily. Was quite satisfied with them but for the fact that the cleats-like sole tread tended to cause calf pain when running with them on pavement for more than a half hour and not staying very mindful about short strikes. I recently wore this pair out (got maybe 2 years out of them), and they were sold out of my size. Tried and returned the all black Xero Scrambler Low EV, as they weren’t as narrow and low profile as I liked with the Mesa Traill II. Ultimately opted to switch to the all black Xero HFS II, and I’ve been very happy with them. I’ve thus far been preferring them > the Mesa Trail II for the lone shoe I wear traveling, as they have been better for my mix of road running (no pain) + light hiking and trail running (the less extreme tread has seemed fine) + daily. When I’m not traveling, I use the all black Altra Escalante 4 for road running; olive Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex for heavier duty hiking/trail running, rain, and snow running; and the HFS II for daily duty.

Peg trails and the wild horses are my favorites right now. Terra Kigers are good too but I’ve just gone through 3-4 pairs of those.

Great options! Pegasus Trail for road to trail and back.

I would go for the Pegasus Trail. They're comfortable enough for walking around all day plus they are decent to run in. I ran a half marathon in the Pegasus Trail 4 GTX on a mixed surface course and they were ideal.

Nike Pegasus Trail it almost the perfect use case it kind of that hybrid road/trail shoe.

I just bought the Nike Pegasus Trail GTX in black for a similar situation. Was considering the Novablast 5 TR, but hated the colorway. Also its upper is goretex, so more rainproof.

I’ve got a pair of nike pegasus trail running shoes that i wear for all but the most strenuous of hikes and they’re genius. Obviously multi purpose too. They’re goretex ones so shower/small puddle proof. Can’t recommend something like that enough as your ‘core’ shoe. 

This is just my opinion but I wear Mammut hiking boots and various Nike Trail runners. The Mammut boots are extremely comfortable, durable and waterproof. Offers great ankle support and are still very light boots. Nikes are just personally my favourite shoe to wear. I have a few of their trail runners. Gortex and non goetex types. Pegasus and Wildhorse. I really like the Pegasus versions. For what I put them through each pair last me about a year. But I do find them very comfortable and appreciate the weatherproofing for certain conditions. Some people may disagree as some are not fans of Nike, but this is just for my personal experience. Like many others have said it’s all about preference and the shape of your foot. One one shoe may fit great for one person, but may not fit great for somebody else. I’d suggest finding some outdoor store that has a good selection and trying on different brands to see what suits you.

The Nike Pegasus may work, depends on your fitness and the terrain. They are my backup on long trips if my feet need a break. They are light and have a good grip. I prefer higher tops, but when I get to 15 miles or so my feet often need a change. They work great for that. You know your feet better than any of us.

Nike Pegasus trail shoes are good. The cushion is pretty solid.

Nike Pegasus Trail shoes are awesome- they have a Gore Tex option that are waterproof. You can find good deals on them online

Also if you’re like me and you got big feet, you can usually find older colors in the clearance section of the Nike Outlet. I don’t think I’ve ever paid over $100 for a GTX pair

I've been having good luck with the Nike Pegasus Trail 4, with the caveat that at 240# they felt too mushy/squishy in stock form. I dug out my Superfeet insoles and put them in, and that combo is working well. I've also had good luck with Topo Athletic trail shoes in stock form, but they're typically lower drop than I'm looking for these days. My shoes do tend to poop out around 250 miles, but whatcha gonna do.

hey i’m also running this race, i’ve been running in NB Hierro and the nike pegasus trail but the nikes aren’t feeling super comfortable. I’ll probably bring both pairs just in case. I have so many questions about the race tho, like do i really have to carry 2L of water with me? and would love to know if there’s a thread on here or a forum anywhere online where i can chat w ppl who have ran it

I found Pegasus' barely used on Facebook, picked them up for cheap, and I had two issues. My knee was getting ripped up from the lack of clean pivot they gave me on grass, and the mesh tore to the left of my big toe pretty quickly.

Surprisingly the Nike peg trail fits great. Nike has the best foam too imo

There's no problem with her wearing the same model almost exclusively, especially for a daily trainer like the Pegasus and Peg Trail. As versions of models can change significantly, and often not for the better, she may want to buy several pairs as they go on sale, before they disappear. I previously had five pairs of the Nike Alphafly 1 that I used for racing road marathons and half marathons. The later versions of that shoe didn't have the same magic for me.

Honestly, for so cal hiking, as many mentioned, trail runners suffice. I have a pair of Nike Pegasus trails that I got on sale that do just fine. However, I do like having gtx/waterproof sneaker/boot hybrids when I’m actually backpacking, esp in the sierra. My previous go tos were salomon x mid ultras. I recently switched to hoka gtx boots

I’ve been running in the Pegasus Trail 4GTX (cause it’s been rainy as hell this season) and I’m absolutely loving them on the road and on the trails. 

I wore the trail 4 for the ingles and loved them. Will wear them again for the Portuguese in October :) light and comfy

It's now at the 5 and has gone through a few improvements
