"extremely durable ... You can log hundreds of kilometers without any noticeable wear."
"This is the best disc golf shoe I’ve ever worn. ... Ive had 6 pairs over the last 5 years and they’re still kicking."
"I wear them everyday as my "everyday shoe" ... I've been wearing Peg Trail shoes as everyday shoes for 3-4 years now with no issues."

"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."

Granted, it wasn’t very technical terrain, mostly dirt roads, but some sections were pretty steep, and the shoes handled it wonderfully."

"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)."

"a waterproof shoe will keep all your sweat in and will not breathe (and heaven help you if you step in a puddle) and thus I personally prefer non-waterproof shoes."
"Only downside is I feel like the gore tex kind of traps in some sweat and makes it harder to breathe."
"I think GTC would be too hot for multi season use."

"my right toe sole tore up so bad they are unusable."
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? ->+1 for Pegasus trail Gore-tex. Great for those of us with non-narrow feet who need a little more room in the toe box (but not ridiculous width). Comfortable, plenty of cushioning for road use, grip is fine, no complaints at all. Some people love to crap on gore tex trail shoes and prefer to soak their feet through in freezing cold water the second they go outside. Personally, if you live somewhere muddy I very much subscribe to Gore-tex trail shoes being better in the muddier months. Invisible fit gore-tex means they’re just like normal trail shoes, they don’t have a sock liner like older variants, and they feel great. They do still run warmer so I’ve stopped using them in the summer to avoid sweaty feet though. Bear in mind though that the Gore-tex Pegasus Trail has stickier rubber for better grip, and some people say the grip on the non-GTX isn’t that great. For non gore-tex summer use I’ve been loving the Nike Zegama 2.
r/UKRunners • Good trail running shoes? ->I do a lot of hybrid runs and have never really found a hybrid shoe that I love (I liked the Altra outroads a lot but their durability was pretty bad, although to be fair, I haven't tried the newer model) but the Pegasus trails hit the sweet spot for me. They are definitely sufficient for moderate trails and can be pushed if you're just a little careful to handle some relativity technical stuff and handle Road well enough. They really excel on gravel.
r/trailrunning • Best road and trail running shoe ->I got the Peg Trail 5 GTX for travel and it has the added bonus of being a good option for really sloppy winter days in New England. Nice looking shoe.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Trail Shoes that Look Street Stylish ->Have just bought a pair of Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex for the same application. Size up half a size. Otherwise I like them. Did a test run today in 10 degrees Celsius, my feet were fine.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Winter running shoes ->The cushioning of the trail 5 would be better because the air zoom units in the 41 feel like pebbles and only add to responsiveness not cushioning
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-tex vs Nike Pegasus 41 Gore-tex. Which would you choose or prefer? Why? ->If you are using this shoe on mostly pavement get the Pegasus 41. If it’s more trails/rocks get Trail 5. The Pegasus 41 is more comfortable as a baseline due to its foam. Both are quite durable.
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-tex vs Nike Pegasus 41 Gore-tex. Which would you choose or prefer? Why? ->I really like my Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX after 250 km so far. Feels great on tarmac or trail
r/UKRunners • Good trail running shoes? ->I just ordered a pair of Trail 5 GTX . I normally wear EU 44 and my foot measures 28 cm. According to the Nike size chart, that corresponds to 45, so I ordered 45. However, the shoes feel narrow on the upper side. A half size bigger (45.5) would have been better.
