Good Shoe, Tight Toe Box

Really like the shoe but sizing is odd. The toe box feels super tight and restrictive so I'm having to size up 1 size even though it's not the length that's the issue. I have fairly narrow feet and have never had a problem with previous versions of this shoe or other Nike shoes.

Retains The Vibe Of Pegasus Trail

Better midsole with more rebounce than the 4th generation. My feet got wet after walking in the rain.

Best Road To Trail Sneaker Period!

After logging 264 miles across roads, trails, mixed terrain, snow, and freezing creek crossings, the Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX has proven itself as one of the most versatile shoes I’ve run in. Fit & Comfort Right out of the gate, the fit stood out. The toe box is nicely sized—roomy enough to allow natural toe splay without feeling sloppy. This is especially important for longer efforts, and it shines here. I’ve run these with: SealSkinz waterproof socks for long snow runs and sub-freezing creek crossings Base-layer wool socks for normal cold or wet conditions In both cases, the fit remained dialed. No pressure points, no bunching, and no compromises in comfort. GORE-TEX Performance The GORE-TEX upper works exactly as advertised. My feet stay dry in snow, slush, rain, and water crossings. When paired with waterproof socks, this setup is borderline unstoppable in winter conditions. For cold-weather running, this combo has become my go-to. Midsole & Ride The biggest surprise—and highlight—for me is the ReactX foam. In my experience, it’s far better than ZoomX. It strikes a near-perfect balance: Cushioned without feeling mushy Responsive without being harsh Stable across uneven terrain It’s not a “mega-fast” racing foam, but that’s not the point. This is a shoe built to handle training miles and still be race-worthy, especially for longer efforts or rough conditions. Break-In Period There is a break-in period—about 20 miles. Early on, the shoe feels a bit stiff, but once broken in, it completely opens up. After that point, the ride becomes smooth, confident, and comfortable mile after mile. Versatility This is where the Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX really shines. Road → Trail → Road: Excellent Mixed terrain runs: Outstanding Straight road running: Surprisingly good Winter conditions: Elite If you’re doing 100% trail running, I’d still recommend the Wildhorse 10 (which I also own and use). But if your runs include any combination of pavement, dirt, gravel, snow, or transitional terrain, the Pegasus Trail 5 is hard to beat. Final Verdict The Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX is an incredibly capable all-around shoe. It’s not chasing extreme speed—it’s built for reliability, comfort, and versatility. After 264 miles, it has earned my trust in conditions where footing, warmth, and dryness actually matter. If you want one shoe that can handle: Daily training Long runs Winter weather Road-to-trail transitions Even race day if needed …the Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX absolutely delivers. Highly recommended.

Comfortable

My husband needed a new pair of shoes for work. He walks a lot throughout the day. He really likes the Nikes; especially because they’re weather proof
