Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX

This shoe is amazing and is a must buy! I bought this shoe in early October 2025, and since then it has been amazing the reactX foam is perfect for trails as it’s very soft while giving you great stability which is crucial for trails. The only bad thing about this is that the GORE-TEX isn’t that good and lets some water through. Overall very good would recommend!

I have run trails for several years in the Pegasus models, but the Pegasus 5 has fit issues that I've not experienced before. The heel hold in the 5 is insufficient and does not match the earlier models. The lacing system does not offer fit flexibility thus eliminating the ability to micro adjust when needed. Bring back the Pegasus 3 platform and last - then work from there.

Got a pair of these at the same time as the standard Pegasus 41 GTX. In both cases you need to go up half a size because of the tight fit. Both are comfortable. The standard Pegasus 41 GTX is better in the wet / mud for grip, water resistance and importantly, has a better "lockdown" to keep your foot stable in the shoe. With regard to performance, i am running around 1 min quicker every 30 mins in the 41 GTX compared to the Trail 5 GTX. Hope this helps :)
