Nike - Air Pegasus Trail 3 GTX

I was wearing Pegasus trail 3 goretex but just started wearing these Morrell’s https://preview.redd.it/56l6d6fvjpzf1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b5b200ef02752853af5b3bb567c73632b39ee4b If anyone is interested in Pegasus trail 3 I have a black/grey pair in size 10 brand new…I’d sell well under retail

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

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 got a pair of nike pegasus trail running shoes that i wear for all but the most strenuous of hikes and they’re genius. Obviously multi purpose too. They’re goretex ones so shower/small puddle proof. Can’t recommend something like that enough as your ‘core’ shoe. 

I've bought several goretex shoes from Nike (Winflo, infinity run, and a couple pairs of goretex pegasus trail) I like all of them quite a bit. I think that for streets, the soles of the winflo and infinity runs have better wet pavement traction than the pegasus, but for off-pavement, the pegasus has a much better sole. the other thing I noticed is that the added bulk on these shoes, especially in the toe box has caused some brusing on my big toe. The material above the toes is stiffer, I'm guessing it's teh additional layer of goretex. Only happens when walking, haven't experienced the discomfort when running. Maybe I need to work on my walking form. The pegasus handles this a lot better and is a more comfortable overall shoe. It's also got some (very light) built in collar around the ankle to keep out some minimal splashing and gravel. Of these three, I would recommend the pegasus trail shoes, although I like them all.

I had the Goretex ones before, but switched to the non-goretex this year. They’re more breathable but IMO aesthetically they look cheaper. The goretex material has a kind of matte finish that looks nicer. But you can’t completely customise the colours of the goretex shoes which sucks because the default colour schemes are a bit meh

I use trail running shoes for trail hiking and for golf… I have two pairs of HOKA trail running shoes that I have moved to every day shoes because I also wasn’t able to get them in Gore Tex. I alternate two pairs of Nike Pegasus with Gore Tex and love the water proof and thus will not buy another trail runner that isn’t water PROOF!

When it’s not a frozen tundra, but there’s snow out, I like wearing my gore-Tex Pegasus trails with thick socks. They’re warm and water resistant.

Nike Pegasus Trail (Goretex) is the best there is. Good for walking in the city or just a regular hike. It is super light as well! Last year, I took it to hike Mount Fuji for two days and 8 days in Tokyo and Kyoto averaging 25K steps a day. It was a rainy season but Goretex kept it dry at all times.

How wide are we talking? I know it sounds crazy because of the brand but I love my nike pegasus trails. (But I also focus much more on wide toe box than actual width)

I have Gore Tex Nike Pegasus trail runners, and the are awesome for wet grass and rain. I find they dry out fine being exposed to those conditions. I have never waded in them or had my feet thoroughly soaked on the inside of the shoe.

If Nikes work for your feet the Pegasus trails are a nice option, they have a goretex model that is my favorite.

Been using the gore tex versions for almost 2 years now and have been loving them!

Best shoes for the pnw! What I use as well

Motiva is designed for walking; Pegasus/Trail are general purpose entry level runners; Zegama are for low-drop (avoid if you are a heel striker) and ZoomX foam (more responsive); Juniper are brick-hard trail "runner" (makes for good walking/hiking shoes though, Juniper 2 Gore-Tex is my go-to wet weather walker); dunno much about Winflo GTX, but it is a budget shoes, so worse foam, but it looks very well insulated, so probably great for cold weather. All and all, sounds like Peg/Trail GTX are your best bet, which to choose depends on you needing the lugs or not, also which feels more comfortable for you (Trail 5's sizing is a bit odd, extremely narrow midfoot, it's the first Pegasus I couldn't wear TTS for). Unless you don't intend to run with them, in which case Juniper Trail 2 GTX will be very good value for money, they are heavily discounted in outlets these day.

I’ve got two pairs of trail runners 1 merrell and 1 Nike Pegasus gtx. Both 9.5ik size. The merrell are roomier but have a slightly harder sole. The Nike have a softer sole but are tight across the width of the foot. So as others have said try and get to a running shop and try them on with different types of socks.

I have a couple of pairs of trail runners . Nike Pegasus gtx. Normally use them for road running and a bit of trail. When I 1st got them they felt very tight round top of foot. They have given a bit but not too much. I’m normally a size 9 but have them in 9.5. I wouldn’t try and wear thicker socks with them, just trainer/running socks as they are very snug. I also have a pair of Merrel agility peak 5’s. These are better on actual trails again they are in 9.5 but can wear a slightly thicker socks if in colder weather. As with all shoes try them on in a shop if you can.

2nd the Pegasus Trail. Have both the regular & GTX version. Versatile shoe.

I wear Nike Trail Goretex runners all seasons. In the PNW there's usually a chance we find some kind of moisture all year, and my game is thrown off of I make big shoe adjustments between games.

altras suck. the tread got destroyed in like 2 months and the only time i've felt more like i can slide off of shit is when i wore xero's 360's with literally flat soles. to boot, the tread started separating from the foam lowers within a month because my form sucked at the time and i was rotating over the outside front of my foot. anyway, the shoe shouldn't have failed when it cost so much. horrible. the nike goretex trail runners were wayyyyyyyyy better than altras. but the zero drop was really comfortable so i bought the xeros after the altras, but those were only good for PERFECT conditions because they lacked tread. for winter, i got the insulated van hiking boots (MTE sk8-hi) that are waterproof for winter and those were sick, but really too heavy to play with during anything but the shittiest of new england weather. shoes never got wet from water, but def got wet from sweat because they're thinsulate lined. for this season, i just got a pair of vivo magna forest esc and its like the best of all of it. the michelin soles are fucking INCREDIBLE, i feel like a mountain goat but still have the xero feel i liked. the only downside is now that i actually have grippy bois is that they actually transport moist soil back into the house. this is normal for good shoes that give traction, so i leave a thick bristle brush by the door and clean em out before i walk inside. long story short, if you think altras are durable, you're probably noodle arming and not committing, and then walking around a grass course. i've heard the OG varients were good, but the pair i bought, the pair my boss bought, and the pair the other dude in my league bought are all dogshit and they're from the last year and a half.

I've tried Under Armour, Terrex, and Nike trail running shoes. All with Goretex. I find they rip by the end of the reason and lose the water proof factor. Then it's just how long I can stick with them before wanting fully dry feet again.

Well, they’re meant for trail running. Not spinning on concrete. I’ve had two different pairs I’ve put around 400 miles on trail running and they’ve held up extremely well. I will agree with you on the Nike goretex trail runners. They were awesome to play disc golf in, but terrible for running.

Nike gore Tex trail runners. Extremely comfortable, and traction for wet days. They got me through an entire bandon dunes trip where it rained for 3 days straight.

I wear nike goretex trails. Typically get them for around £45 in the Nike outlets.

I’m all I’m all for the Nike goretex trail runners, they’re really good, nice wide toe box

For years I’ve used Nike goretex trail running shoes. Extremely light, and have great traction.

Yeah I have been playing in these for years. Liked them so much I have a pair for regular stuff outside and a pair for disc golfing

Great options! Pegasus Trail for road to trail and back.

Truth be told I don’t see anything on there that’s worth getting Agro or heavy lugged. I think some Pegasus Trail or even Salomon sense ride would be just fine. Due to the fact that this thing can probably be a little bit muddy. I get something with a little bit of grip and something that will be able to shed a bit of water and or mud. I think something lugged here is going to pick up mud really bad. My vote here is for the Pegasus. If it had been a gravel or had much rock at all, I may suggest something else, but this looks pretty vanilla.

Consider the Nike Pegadus Trail for a good road-to-trail shoe. They've been great for me! And yes, do recommend rotating through pairs if you are running regularly!

Surprisingly the Nike peg trail fits great. Nike has the best foam too imo

Controversial take, but I really like the Nike peg trails. Big toe box, great foam, stable, decent traction

I actually love my nike trail shoes! I have a normal nike Pegasus running sneaker, and a trail pegasus sneaker. I can hardly tell the difference except maybe the fabric, and how it's stiffer and more water resistant and wind resistant than my normal running shoes.

Nike peg trail had a surprisingly wide toe box. I had a massive bunion that required cutting open many of my running shoes and had surgery last year.

I love the Nike peg trail for running and agree they are some of the best looking trail shoes available. However I hate walking in them. Far too soft.

There's a third option which is hybrid aka "road to trail" shoes. The Nike Pegasus Trail series is one example. It's good on both road and trail. If the trails aren't technical at all you can also buy TR versions of road shoes like the Novablast 4 TR which are the same shoe but with an outsole that is slightly more geared towards trails.

Neutral shoes are fine because the terrain is so varied when trail running. Stability shoes on trails are a recipe for rolled ankles (have flat feet, run in Nike Peg Trails, Nike Terra Kigers, and Saucony Peregrines just fine)

I like the Pegasus Trail series.

Local trails. Have ran the 50k. Minimal climbs and lots of sand. You can wear road shoes if you want. But if the construction is thin, it might tear up quicker than normal from sharp rocks. Grip will be no issue as it’s fairly flat. Highly recommended gaiters as you will fill your shoes with sand etc. My usual shoe of choice, Nike peg trail (recent - Nnormal Kerajg).

I have a a number of miles on the lights trails with a fewer versions of the Pegasus. Worked out well for me.

I just got the new H1 from Mount to Coast, and it's great so far. The peg trail is another shoe that performs well on roads and light trails.

Happy to see I own three shoes featured on this list. \- Nike Peg Trail: A perfect door to trail shoe. Light, snappy, and can easily log long miles. Advised only for light trail terrain, think California carpet. \- HOKA Mafate Speed: Will just eat any type of terrain. Ran a 50k and never once bothered my feet. \- Nike Zegama 2: Have a pair stashed in the closet, ready for use.

The earlier range of Nike Trail shoes were not good. I had a pair of Nike Peg Trail 36s and while light and snappy, were brutal on technical terrain. I've got three different models of Nike's now, and IMO are some of the most underrated trail lines currently out there. \- Peg Trails - Are the best Door-to-Trail shoe out there. Somehow light and snappy enough for road while being rugged enough for trail terrain. \- Wildhorse 8s - When it gets muddy here in the PNW, I switch to these. Chunky lugs, and great grip for wet days on the trail. They're pretty damn heavy, but are very comfortable. \- Zegama 2s: I've heard them compared to the HOKA Mafate's and I tend to agree. All day trail eaters. \*Big caveat being that I have a very narrow foot and tend to like more aggressive trail running shoes.

I like the Peg Trail for soaking up junk miles, but the prospect of doing a 100 in them makes me feel queasy. (I did do a 50 miler in them once, but wouldn't rush to repeat the experience)

I use a pair of Trail Pegs for daily use, and commuting. I still have other pairs reserved for running but I’ve been able to get 8 months to a year out of each pair. They’re on sale a lot on Nike’s website for <100$ too!

Any recent Pegasus has a decent outsole that works on trails, as do a lot of Puma shoes with the PumaGrip outsole, namely the Deviate and the Velocity. Craft’s road shoes are all trail capable and I’ve been a fan of the CTM Ultra lineup as a trail-capable road shoe.

I love this shoe too, but it's limited by the high 10 mm drop and soft heel on more technical terrain. A 4 mm drop version of this shoe would be so awesome since they ruined the Kiger 10.

true pegasus was good for 3mos and 100 miles. plenty of friends also only rock boost too.

I have Nike trail runners, I love them-they have support in the toes for when you smash your foot in a root. I cramp badly if I eat as well-so following for the rest. 😊

>... false sense of security so you roll/sprain your ankle worse. This was very true for me :) In my country the "old hiking rule" was that you always need high boots for mountains because they would protect your ankles. But it turns out that with high boots I had a false sense of security and was thus less careful when descending and consequently often twisted my ankle. The high shoe maybe helped a bit and prevented a harder sprain but it still hurt. I then switched to trail runners and I can see that I now walk way more carefully and have a way more precise foot placement than before. Consequently I haven't twisted my ankle ever since the switch. However it must be said that not all trail runners are equal in terms of stability and ground feel... La Sportiva Bushido which I have now are awesome but some Nike trail runners I had in the past were very bad and unstable.

I got nike trail runners and they work great. If theres a nike outlet store you can find them on sale.. I make sure I get just the right size and not too loose so they're not sloppy. Personally I put in the spenco runner gel insoles to reduce impact because I play on turf half the time. I also rock the mcdavid level 3 ankle braces om both feet s. This helps make sure I never roll my ankle. Hope this helps
