ACG ペガサス トレイル GORE-TEX

As someone who hikes often, I always find myself coming back to the Pegasus Trail runners. Personally, I believe these are one of the best shoes you can get because you get comfortable, lightweight, and rugged sneakers (THAT DONT MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A GRANDPA… sorry grandpa). These have really been put through the test and have proved themselves. These have been my main shoes for hiking in more rugged conditions but I find myself leaving these home on more easy and hot hikes (due to GORE TEX). Since these are waterproof they will keep moisture out of your shoe but trap the moisture from sweat in your shoes. That’s why I always suggest having 2 different types of hiking shoes. Some that vent well, and some that’ll keep your feet dry from the rain or small water crossings. I have found that these don’t last very long due to frequent use (they begin to separate at the midsole to the uppers). With that said I still find myself coming back to these each time because of how good they are.

I mean, come on…These shoes are wildly comfortable! Although they are a bit chunky looking, the Acg Pegasus Trail Gtx shoes have amazing support, the foot bed makes it feel like you are running on a cloud, and they feel snug but lightweight. They fit as expected for my size, and just feel great. The thickness of the shoe does give it a sturdy and well-built feeling like you know that the shoe will last and that they can take a beating off-road. I particularly like the sock like elastic backing that stops small stones or dust from getting kicked up into the back of the shoe. The elasticity of the back sock portion with the double sized pull tab to get on the shoe are really nice and convenient features that I haven’t had in another shoe, and I am into them I a strong way. The treads are also fantastically grippy; I feel like I could run up a boulder sideways like Spider-Man. Not crazy about the black on black design, but I suppose there are people who are into that look and also design-wise, the heal feels a bit too thick looking, but it does perform well. But regardless of what they look like, I will wear these again and again; from trail running to hikes, these shoes feel like they are versatile enough to go from the forest to rocky terrain, and even on a water hike. My foot felt like it was pushed toward the front of the shoe, it felt somewhat back heavy, but not necessarily in a bad way.

Living in the Montana mountains, trail running and hiking are integral parts of my life. I’m always on the lookout for the most comfortable and durable all-around mountain recreation shoe. The Nike Acg Pegasus Trail sneaker strikes a great balance between comfort and stability. The shoe is designed with extra cushioning, which is evident when running on the rocky mountain terrain. While some cushioned sneakers can compromise stability, I found that these shoes maintained a good balance. I put them to the test over the weekend with a 10-mile hike and they performed exceptionally well. Even during a hail and rain storm that turned the trail into a muddy, slippery mess, the shoes felt stable and responsive with good traction. However, they did get a bit wet, so they’re not entirely waterproof. I particularly love the wider toe box in these sneakers, especially when running downhill. It prevents my toes from getting jammed against the front of the shoe, which is a significant improvement over my previous running sneaker. If you’re in search of a reliable trail running or hiking shoe, these shoes are a great choice.
