"will last you forever as they are absolute tanks"
"amazed how the quality resembles logitech g pro 1"
"The VXE R1 PRO has the Huano Blue Shell Pink Dot switches that are truly legendary and has no problems in the long run whatsoever in terms of double clicking or becoming mushy or anything really."

"I didn’t slip once. The new soles on these shoes had an awesome grip on the mountain. I felt very secure."
"the shoes felt great, had no slippage whatsoever, were cushioned, responsive, and comfortable. I ran up and down the mountain without much concern about where my feet were placed... the shoes handled it wonderfully."
"Got me through a week with everything Utah can throw at you - snow, mud, dirt, gravel, sand, slickrock, slot-canyon scooting, and the occasional stream crossing - and I never felt unsure of my footing."

"Best shoes for the pnw! What I use as well"
"They got me through an entire bandon dunes trip where it rained for 3 days straight."
"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."

"PT 5 US size 10.5 is still not enough for me ... while size 11 is okay but with heel slip."
"Don't get the 6 if you have wide feet. ... They are MUCH narrower than the 5. ... And will leave your feet in pain quickly."
"When I 1st got them they felt very tight round top of foot. ... They have given a bit but not too much. ... I wouldn’t try and wear thicker socks with them, just trainer/running socks as they are very snug."

"The outsole is unbelievably slippery on wet rocks on both models, which is a bigger issue for the GTX version (at least for my intended use)."
"I have these in V3 and find the grip terrible- I slip on a wet pavement let alone wet rocks."

"I wouldn't rate them for mountain trails. ... I did my first lakes 50k in them, my feet were just trashed at the end and I fell a lot."
"The tread was meh for steep/tech trails. ... The lugs are pointed like skinny arrows, rather than the massive mud-tire tread of the Mafate Speed. ... And super rocky technical trails might eat this shoe alive."

"a pair of Salomon's that I didn't realize were Gore-Tex until it was too late and I abandoned in Leon."
"Too warm ... One big alert for Norda: the ventilation is bad. ... If you run in hot conditions, they will soak your feet within 30-45 minutes, so better beware."
"One thing that stood out as a massive negative was they didn't breathe at all. My feet were very hot."

"my right toe sole tore up so bad they are unusable."
You’re gonna just have to try some and find those that *you* like that perform and last the way *you* want. I like Terrex Swift waterproof grip (Continental sole). Great support. Have had three pair. Adidas replaced one for free because the sole separated. But, in general, they didn’t last very long. I like Salomon Speedcross 5. Not great for wide feet though. Lasted longer than Terrex and lighter. If you toe drag, you’ll easily wear a hole. I may buy another pair if hit a sale. Nike Pegasus Gore-Tex Trail. Super light, great waterproof. Lasted well, especially for the super light feel. Not as much lateral support as some others. Toe tread eventually separated. Extended life via shoe-goo. Would definitely buy on sale.
r/discgolf • Shoes shoes shoes! ->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.
r/discgolf • Disc golf shoes? ->I have both. The 5s looks super sleek/sexy to me. I have the ones in the above picture colorway and they are super handsome, doesn't look like a trail shoe at all! Function wise they're much more cushy at the step in + they're much more narrower than the 4s.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-tex vs Nike Pegasus 41 Gore-tex. Which would you choose or prefer? Why? ->Look for a “light” trail shoe or “road-to-trail” shoe. Meaning a “trail” shoe that doesn’t have super aggressive tread or a rock plate. Something like the Nike Pegasus Trail would be perfect—they are pretty stylish too so would work for more casual situations. ASICS Novablast TR or Hoka Challenger are more. I think Brooks Divide is another example. Depending on the trails you’re talking about, a regular road running shoe would probably work also.
r/trailrunning • Recommendations for multi use shoes ->I've used Adidas Terrex, Vans, and now Nike Pegasus Trail. The Nike's have been my favorite thus far in terms of comfort and keeping my feet dry.
r/discgolf • Best Disc Golf Shoes?? ->Anyone have experience to share with the Salomon S/Lab Genesis? Thinking of getting these for my first 50k later this year since I do better with the 6-8mm drop range Currently have all of Salomon Thundercross and Ultra Glide, Nike Pegasus Trail 5, Altra Lone Peak 8, and Nike Pegasus Trail 4 GTX (my go to during this snowy training period)
r/trailrunning • What shoes are you rocking at the moment? ->Merrell Moab shoes were definitely comfortable and durable. But heavy and bulky for me. I just bought Nike Pegasus to try out after the Moabs heels died on me.
r/discgolf • Disc golf shoes? ->Though I don't run in my Peg Trail 5s, I wear them everyday as my "everyday shoe" as I love how comfortable the ReactX foam is. I've been wearing Peg Trail shoes as everyday shoes for 3-4 years now with no issues. I wear Speedboat 5s for running trails.
r/trailrunning • Using trail running shoes as daily shoes? ->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.
