Nike - Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX

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’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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

+1 for Pegasus trail Gore-tex. Great for those of us with non-narrow feet who need a little more room in the toe box (but not ridiculous width). Comfortable, plenty of cushioning for road use, grip is fine, no complaints at all. Some people love to crap on gore tex trail shoes and prefer to soak their feet through in freezing cold water the second they go outside. Personally, if you live somewhere muddy I very much subscribe to Gore-tex trail shoes being better in the muddier months.  Invisible fit gore-tex means they’re just like normal trail shoes, they don’t have a sock liner like older variants, and they feel great. They do still run warmer so I’ve stopped using them in the summer to avoid sweaty feet though. Bear in mind though that the Gore-tex Pegasus Trail has stickier rubber for better grip, and some people say the grip on the non-GTX isn’t that great. For non gore-tex summer use I’ve been loving the Nike Zegama 2.

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. ??

I've bought several goretex shoes from Nike (Winflo, infinity run, and a couple pairs of goretex pegasus trail) I like all of them quite a bit. I think that for streets, the soles of the winflo and infinity runs have better wet pavement traction than the pegasus, but for off-pavement, the pegasus has a much better sole. the other thing I noticed is that the added bulk on these shoes, especially in the toe box has caused some brusing on my big toe. The material above the toes is stiffer, I'm guessing it's teh additional layer of goretex. Only happens when walking, haven't experienced the discomfort when running. Maybe I need to work on my walking form. The pegasus handles this a lot better and is a more comfortable overall shoe. It's also got some (very light) built in collar around the ankle to keep out some minimal splashing and gravel. Of these three, I would recommend the pegasus trail shoes, although I like them all.

lol I definitely had some pain with the right shoe. Seemed like something was sown right on the top left of the shoe so I made some incisions. Feels fine now but wtf ??.

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

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

\+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.

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.
