I use them as everyday shoes, but they are not really made for everyday shoes imho. Id say the bottom profile is starting to lose after 6 months. I literally have to buy every year a new pair of trail runners. I just wear them 6 months longer just to not feel like i i just buy them for half a year. Also it loses its performance really fast, the bouncing effect is much weaker after a couple of hundreds kms. I still like them, but its not made for lots of kms and OP is looking for shoes for several years. I had the GTX 3,4 and 5. I wish they would make one with better sole, that lasts longer. Running shoes in general have very short lifespan though. They are made for performance not for longevity.

I have these in V3 and find the grip terrible- I slip on a wet pavement let alone wet rocks. I don’t have a better recommendation but cant recommend these unless they improved them

Road—Peg 39 at like 350 miles so getting old, Novablast 5 that I just got and have under 20 miles. Trail- Peg Trail 3 at 250 ish miles and ASICS Trabuco Max 2 at 100 miles I’ve been injured a lot the last 2 years so my shoes are older and don’t have many miles lol

I just got these [Air Pegasus Trail 3s](https://a.co/d/fnNa56G). They're light and comfortable and, after three or four rounds in wet weather, very waterproof.

I second this. I was a Moab 2 guy for the last few years, but I just got Pegasus Trail 3s and they're life-changing. Light, springy, comfy, and waterproof.

I just bought the Nike Pegasus Trail GTX in black for a similar situation. Was considering the Novablast 5 TR, but hated the colorway. Also its upper is goretex, so more rainproof.

The Peg GTX is my favorite trail running shoe for transition season here in Canada. There are about 6 weeks where the ground is wet from snow, ice, slush, or just puddles and it is between 20-40f most days, and that shoe shines there. I have put 180 miles on my pair with about 60 of those being road and they are very comfortable on all surfaces. That being said I do think my feet would get hot running in them on any day over 50 degrees and dry.

I just wore my 001s last weekend for the first time for two back to back trail long runs in Quebec. My initial reaction was “wow, these are worth every penny”. Incredibly comfortable from the first wear, although many people say they need a break in period. The outsole was so grippy I had tons of confidence on technical downhills and they fit my foot perfectly at a half size up. I do about 70-80mpw and just recently transitioned to about 50% of those being trail miles, so my only other trail shoe experience is Hoka Speedgoat 5 and Nike Peg Trail. However, I have about 15 pairs of road running shoes and I prefer these over all of them. Again, YMMV, but I absolutely love them after ~40 miles and I hear they get 500+ miles of use for most people. Also you have to get a .5 size up. 12.5 fit me perfectly and I’m a 12 in every other shoe. Lmk if you have more specific questions but I think the consensus on 001 is that if you have the money and want to spend it on a nice trail shoe, they are worth it!

I’ve been using Pegasus Trail 3/4 and just got some 5 and they’ve been great for disc golf. Hold up well to concrete tee pads, but I don’t drag my toes or anything. If you go to a disc golf pro tour event, I would say close to 40% of the pros are wearing Nike. adidas Terrex used to be the clear choice, but is the minority now. Vessi might be the second most common.
