Nike - Pegasus Trail 5

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!

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

I recently got a pair and love them. I ran a 14 mile trail race in them two weeks ago and they performed great. However the race wasn’t technical it was mainly on single track that’s mainly used for mountain biking. The race also had a few sections of road before getting on the trail and I feel like the Pegasus preforms well as a road to trail shoe. They are way lighter than the brooks cascadias i used to run in and more cushioned. It did take about 15-20 miles to break in. Before they were broke in I noticed a little heel slip but they may have just been my foot. I used the runners loop to lock them down and was good to go.

\+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.

You might have a high instep like I do. Their website says they run small and consider sizing up. Could help if you didn’t try that.

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

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

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

Depending on how much moisture you’re talking about you could try the Nike Pegasus Trail 5. There is a Goretex version if you’re getting significantly wet on a regular basis. Definitely a light duty road to trail shoe. I’m also training for a half and this is my main shoe. Running on 90% pavement. Lugs aren’t super aggressive. Extremely comfortable. Good cushion but not so much that you can’t feel the road/terrain. Wide toe box if you need it. Great lock down. I haven’t had any traction issues with them.

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

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

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 second (or third or fourth) Nike Peg Trail 5, but this is a comment worth sitting with. Running shoes are very light and easy to pack in a suitcase. If you’re really using shoes everyday for 8 months and can pick up something suitable on your trip, I’d highly recommend a 2 shoe mix. A walk around shoe plus a running shoe. Then, the decision is do you use one shoe for all hiking/running, or a hiking/trail running/walking crossover plus a dedicated road shoe.

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.

Nike Pegasus Trail. Excellent light trail to road shoes.

I’m going on the Camino in 4 weeks and planning to wear Pegasus Trail 5s. I have the gore tex ones atm and I’m wondering whether to get the normal ones, in case my feet overheat. ?? They are comfortable and work for me on 5 mile hikes, so hopefully should be fine for the 10-15 mile days on the Camino

Nike peg trail had a surprisingly wide toe box. I had a massive bunion that required cutting open many of my running shoes and had surgery last year.

Will be interested in the weight different from the regular EVO SL. These look great as an all-rounder travel shoe. Gravel, dirt paths, moderate trails, plenty of road, possible treadmill use even. I run a toe path in regular road shoes, but often wish I had just a little more grip. But about 4 miles of getting there is on regular roads. Same for travel. I try to get to trails, but often need to get some miles in on roads or park paths. An Evo SL with a bit of extra grip and upper support ticks the boxes. Otherwise I'd take my Peg Trail 5s, which are way worse on the road.

Nike pegasus trail 5 check them out! I used them for walks,hikes ,running ,trail running and they pretty durable too.Not for heavy backpacks though.

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

Depart from Nike and look for some of the dedicated trail brands. North Face Enduris 4 was on sale for $112 earlier this year. Probably a BF deal coming up. It's an awesome shoe. Like the Zegama 2, but better imo. La Sportiva Prodigio Pro is on sale for 25% off at REI if you can find your size. It's on virtually everyone's top 3 (if not top 1) trail shoe of the year. To your Q: never tried Wildhorse. I'd prefer Zoomx over ReactX foam. I have the Peg Trail 5. It's a great travel shoe that can do road, trail, airport, etc. but it's dull compared to all these other shoes.

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

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.

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)

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.

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.

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!

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

Controversial take, but I really like the Nike peg trails. Big toe box, great foam, stable, decent traction

I love the Nike peg trail for running and agree they are some of the best looking trail shoes available. However I hate walking in them. Far too soft.

Just ran a 50K this weekend in these and they were great. I have what is called a "high volume" foot (i.e. fat foot) and these fit well. Surprising for a Nike. Foam is comfortable. Traction is fine but trail was mostly dry. If only my quads felt as good as my feet.

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.

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.
