Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX

I love the look and comfort but the toe box is bigger than my normal 10.5 Nike shoes run.

I started running 3 months ago at the age of 67, having never really been in to running all my life. I bought a pair of these as I wanted something that would work for me on the trail aswell as the road and would protect my heels in particular as I have had issues with heel pain after medium length walks. They have been simply outstanding for both running and walking and on routes up to 10 miles. I have now covered over 200km and suffered no pain in my legs or feet and they give me confidence on all sorts of mixed terrain. I have got my 5k time down to sub 30min on the road and around 32 min on the trail. I bought half a size bigger than normal and they fit perfectly. I'm so impressed that I've already bought a second pair ready for when these wear out.

The quality of my shoes is so disappointing. I’ve owned the same pair in a couple of different colors and have been wearing them for years. So when I got these in black, I expected the same quality that I’d grown to love. That is sadly not the case. They look and feel like a cheap knockoff of the Nike Pegasus Trail I own. I even did comparisons of the ones I own now. The sock is warped and loose instead of fitted to keep pebbles out. The shoe has no stability and feels like a foam replica of the versions I own.
