The only complaint I have with these is they feel super tight on the top of my foot. I've tried loosening and tying them differently. If I walk or run too long with them they'll start to bother me
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.
+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.
I bought the exact same pair in prep for when show comes so appreciate the review. Curious why you went for a trail shoe over let’s say the Vomero or Pegasus 41 GTX?
