I’ve done several muddy Parkruns and wet towpath runs with the Pegasus GTX. Never had an issue with ingress, and they’ve been great, albeit heavy. They’re neutral, but I think there may be a support variant.

I use gore tex pegs and have no issues. I need to use gore tex as I live in West Scotland

Nike Pegasus Shield. I’ve done nearly 600km in them and I genuinely think there’s another 200km in them. Such a shame I can’t find another pair the same anywhere!

The 41 GTX is amazing! You already own a basic pair of Nikes, so you can get it in the same US sizing and it’ll be fine. What was the size of your old pair vs the 41 GTX?

I think it’s great. I have Pegasus 41 GTX and Pegasus 5 Trail GTX.

Holy trinity is hard- EVO SL's - two pairs. Daily trainers with enough a break between runs to let them puff up and decompress. On my third pair in this rotation and they are amazing. Speed shoe is the Nike Vaporfly 4. Light weight speed shoe. But I have to sneak three in for real world. Nike Ultrafly for trail running. I try to run trails when I can and having a good trail shoe makes a huge difference. Nike Peg GTX- get a pair of goretex shoes- they will last you forever since you will only run in them a handful of days when it raining or snowing. Finally Puma Mag Max- sometimes you need a marshmellow to just fall into after wearing out your legs all week.

I tried the gor-tex pegasus two years ago and had this issue too. I don't like running in them, but I do think they're great winter shoes to run errands and other stuff when I don't need full winter boots.
