Nike - Pegasus Trail Series

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.

You�re gonna just have to try some and find those that *you* like that perform and last the way *you* want. I like Terrex Swift waterproof grip (Continental sole). Great support. Have had three pair. Adidas replaced one for free because the sole separated. But, in general, they didn�t last very long. I like Salomon Speedcross 5. Not great for wide feet though. Lasted longer than Terrex and lighter. If you toe drag, you�ll easily wear a hole. I may buy another pair if hit a sale. Nike Pegasus Gore-Tex Trail. Super light, great waterproof. Lasted well, especially for the super light feel. Not as much lateral support as some others. Toe tread eventually separated. Extended life via shoe-goo. Would definitely buy on sale.

Trail 5 as well.

For dirt roads I picked up some Nike Ultrafly. Retired a pair at 615 miles and am about 400 miles into a second pair. Tried a pair of Nike peg trail 4�s in between, but they were a let down after the ultraflys. Most of my real running is on steep, rocky trails in the mountains, though, where I switch between Arcteryx Norvan SL3 for really fast efforts and VJ Maxx2 as my all arounder. Love both of these shoes. Edit: rocky trails in the mountains, not �Rocky Mountain� trails.

I have no experience with the peg5, but I did grab some peg4 trails after putting over 600mi into a pair of ultraflys. Took only a few runs (~40mi) to decide I much preferred another pair of ultraflys. Got them for less than $100 at that point. I have about 500mi on them now and hoping to see what/when the ultrafly2 will be. The peg4�s felt kind of stiff and boring by comparison. And I�m a person that typically runs in very low stack shoes on actual trails. Ultraflys and peg4 were for paved, dirt, and gravel roads. Hate the ultraflys on actual east coast trails.

Yeah. Couple factors in that mileage. For one, you are a lot heavier than me, so that would likely accelerate the wear rate. A second factor is that the running I really like to do is technical trails and mountain running where i use very minimally cushioned shoes. So even after pounding on the ultraflys for 500+ miles they still offer significantly more cushion than my typical shoe. Note that I avoid using the ultraflys on technical terrain at almost all costs ?? In my case I retired them because I had completely worn through the tread and into the midsole in the heels. This is because I use them almost exclusively for runs up and down a local mountain on fire roads and a paved auto road to the top. So they saw a lot of heel striking when descending steep pavement. This is pretty abusive for a trail shoe. Contrast this with my typical technical trail shoes where I wear out the tread under the forefoot long before the heel. Anyway, I�m just starting to wear through the tread into the midsole on my current pair. I can feel the foam being a little dead, squishy, and unresponsive back there now, but still plenty of cushion for me. I will add that I tried out a pair of Nike Pegasus Trail 4 shoes between the two pairs of ultraflys, and they really felt like a letdown compared to the ultraflys. They just felt kinda dead by comparison. Ultraflys really do soak up gravel nicely. And they�re a nice wide and stable shoe which has been awesome for recovery runs and such on milder terrain.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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!

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 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. ??

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

Have just bought a pair of Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex for the same application. Size up half a size. Otherwise I like them. Did a test run today in 10 degrees Celsius, my feet were fine.

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.

I do a lot of hybrid runs and have never really found a hybrid shoe that I love (I liked the Altra outroads a lot but their durability was pretty bad, although to be fair, I haven't tried the newer model) but the Pegasus trails hit the sweet spot for me. They are definitely sufficient for moderate trails and can be pushed if you're just a little careful to handle some relativity technical stuff and handle Road well enough. They really excel on gravel.

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 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 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!

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

The cushioning of the trail 5 would be better because the air zoom units in the 41 feel like pebbles and only add to responsiveness not cushioning�

Nike Pegasus trail 5 GTX is amazing

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

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

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.

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

Though I don't run in my Peg Trail 5s, I wear them everyday as my "everyday shoe" as I love how comfortable the ReactX foam is. I've been wearing Peg Trail shoes as everyday shoes for 3-4 years now with no issues. I wear Speedboat 5s for running trails.

I have these in V3 and find the grip terrible- I slip on a wet pavement let alone wet rocks. I don�t have a better recommendation but cant recommend these unless they improved them

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

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�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

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.

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 ??.

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.

The Pegasus Trail is great for non-technical trails

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.�

+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'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.

I was wearing Pegasus trail 3 goretex but just started wearing these Morrell�s https://preview.redd.it/56l6d6fvjpzf1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b5b200ef02752853af5b3bb567c73632b39ee4b If anyone is interested in Pegasus trail 3 I have a black/grey pair in size 10 brand new�I�d sell well under retail

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