Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX

I am a long-time Nike Pegasus fan and have been running in various Pegasus models for years, currently I run on the Street, Shield, and Trail version. I bought this Pegasus Trail Gore-Tex for wet and winter conditions. It performs very well in forests, dunes, and on the beach. A big plus is that it keeps fine sand out and prevents it from collecting between layers—something the other trail versions struggle with. The Gore-Tex upper also keeps my feet warmer and drier than the ventilated trail version. After 145 km, the shoes still look great and the outsole performs well. However, for my foot shape the shoe is very tight across the instep, even after trying different lacing techniques, which causes discomfort on longer runs. I hoped it would stretch over time. In addition, on uneven terrain the overall foot lockdown feels limited. My foot tends to move inside the shoe, and at times it feels like running in sandals than in a supportive trail shoe. I really like the concept of this shoe and would love to continue running in the Pegasus line. I’d be interested to hear whether Nike recommends a different Pegasus or trail model that offers more instep room and better midfoot support for similar season conditions.

The cushioning on this shoe is unreal and the fit from heel to toe is excellent. The problem is the toebox is extremely narrow and restrictive, it seems like some sort of design defect but because the restriction defeats the object of the shoe. This is going to sound crazy but I actually took some scissors and carefully cut down the sides tongue until i reached the white fabric and continued cutting for about 1cm effectively opening up the toebox. The shoe feels 10/10 now but i cant give 5 stars because i had to modify the shoe to make it work.

Zapatillas compradas en el corte ingles. Este modelo tiene defecto de horma. Es muy estrecha y apreta mucho, haciendo daño. He comprado mi talla normal y las he tenido que descambiar por una talla mayor, me sigue apretando la horma mucho y ademas ahora me sobra mas de un dedo de largo. Nun habia tenido este problema con NIKE
