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.

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’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.

I’m a rotation between Nike Trail Peg 3/4s, Mount to Coast T1, Salomon S/lab Genesis.
