Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX

Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX review: what runners say

Fit

True to size for most runners. The GTX model with Gore-Tex Invisible Fit upper can feel restrictive across the top of the foot in some pairs; try on in store before buying.

Feel

React X delivers a cushioned, responsive ride balanced between protection and energy return. The GTX fits more precisely to the foot than the standard version.

Durability

Outsole in Nike All-Terrain Compound with 3.2 mm lugs. Adequate for mixed surfaces and light trail; not suited to technical terrain or deep mud. Expected mileage not quantified by sources.

Best for

Non-technical trail, fire road, moderate singletrack, and mixed asphalt. Strong option for runners new to trail or looking for a single pair that handles winter and wet conditions.

Weak points

Lugs too shallow for deep mud or wet rock, no rock plate. Some runners report excessive pressure across the top of the foot in the GTX upper, potentially tied to manufacturing defects.
