NIKE PEGASUS TRAIL 5 - THE BEST MULTI PURPOSE RUNNING SHOE FOR 2024? - INITIAL REVIEW - EDDBUD

[@citizendan6390]

Picked up the GR11 colorway. In my opinion, this is the best value modern daily driver Nike has ever made.

[@EDDBUD]

Great versatile model. It’s quite a good fit for me and not to baggy in the toebox

[@iloveknives75]

Got these Black Friday 2024 and absolutely love them. Never considered trail shoes, but after trying and loving these, I also started grabbing the v4 and v5 Gore-Tex versions.

[@Stevenc1984]

I've got the Gore-Tex Trail 4, they did an excellent job when I took them out in the snow! Great in the winter, not sure I'd take them on a trip to Benidorm though.

[@EDDBUD]

Not a patch on Dels White loafers.

Starting the video now. The only thing i have to say is that at least we see some new materials.

[@tomek7000tj]

If I had to pick one for lower price, would rather pick Wildhorse8 than Pegasus trail5. Wildhorse8 is much more capable shoe for less money. O And Zegama2 is really good, enjoying it so much!

[@RowOfMushyTiT]

Apples and Oranges.

[@cheezbomber]

I would be tempted to try the Wildhorse but agree it's apples and oranges. I do keep seeing the Zegama 2 in certain colors for a fair discount (e.g. $100), but it just didn't feel as supportive and stable, limiting the versatility. The ZoomX cushioning did seem very comfy though. This Trail 5 does have a pretty good step in feel for me! I think the big question will be how the sole holds up long term. But this one is a winner.

[@RowOfMushyTiT]

@@cheezbomber I have both and the Zegama 2 is more stable and supportive, but still bouncy from the ZoomX. However it's quite clunky and heavy and alos I didn't like the fit that much - low over the instep and some heel slip because of the gaitor. Fit is a bit different from other Nikes, it's more Hokaesque. The PT5 is fit is amazing and very comfortable, one of the best. ReactX is a lot softer and more fun to run in. The shoe will struggle because of the softness and no rock plate in technical terrain - it warps too much (think ankle twists). But that's anyway not the use case for this shoe. It works very well as a daily trainer where it's soft and fun and can handle road and forest. High drop also helps calf recovery. This shoe surprised, as the reviews didn't communicate well what this shoe is actually like.

[@TimGrose]

Think will wait for the GORE-TEX version and the Peg 41 but this seems promising.

[@EDDBUD]

Enjoy Portugal sir!

[@TimGrose]

@@EDDBUD thanks - finding some love again for the Endorphin Speed this holiday. Wedding anniversary on 30th !

[@Mr80Miles]

Ran another hilly 15 miler today in my Saucony Axon 3. An absolute joy to run in, especially now the pwrrun midsole has been broken in. As a midfoot striker who prefers lower drops, these are my favourite shoes in terms of pure running enjoyment by a long way!

[@cheekster777]

Sports Direct were offering Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex for £55 (50% off) but sadly only in size 14! All other sizes were £110. I was ready to pull the trigger until I noticed that. 😞

[@that_which_is_not]

Shoe seems promising! Just picked up the Salomon Pulsar Trail for off-road shenanigans. Side note, off to see Roni Size and Storm @ the Jazz Cafe soon!

@@that_which_is_not Oh blast. Sounds amazing! I used to travel in on the bus to London as a young lad with my Sony Walkman that had a radio built in. Exciting times!

[@jameswilson5438]

On the back of this review I picked up a pair in the sky blue colour way. had my first few miles in them this week in Portugal whilst on holiday with a 40/60 split between road and sandy trails and I have to say they've been nothing short of exceptional. Grip on sand and gravel has been brilliant. The fit and lacing up is second to non in my opinion. A great do it all shoe. My only slight criticism is the fact it is very warm with not much ventilation. That said , I was running in 25°C temperatures. I'm sure it'll be better in the UK in autumn temperatures.

[@pbnotj1]

Loving the novablast 4 TR version for easy trails and road to easy trails . Also a good shoe to consider if looking for road to trail shoes .

[@Manuel-901]

Good afternoon. Interesting description. Like to EDDBUD. Have a great monday.

[@EDDBUD]

Thanks as always for tuning in !

[@timbo2020]

Been enjoying the Wildhorse 8 this year, might check these out. I do like the look of Nike’s recent trail shoes, even if many have a way to go performance wise.

[@HawaiiFranke]

I'll stay with my Ultraflys, just bought another pair as Nike had a big discount last week. They were of course way too expensive when released last summer but now the price was quite ok.

[@Mike0]

you can pick these up for £60, if you want the ultrafly to last longer

[@robin29991]

Hmm, not quite convinced by this one. Think I would prefer the Hoka Challenger as a Road to Trail shoe here. This one seems a bit too heavy for an outsole profile that barely offers more than a regular Pegasus.

[@NikoSaario]

My puma velocity 3 does the same, from road to trail.

[@JemmaGuaney]

The pull tab was a feature that I wish the Winflo had.

[@Oleg_Kol]

Please continue with DnB recommendations from your youth:) they are fantastic. I may pick Pegs trail version when they eventually go on sale for routes that require to travel a mile or two to the proper trail

[@EDDBUD]

Ideal for that use Sir. More drum and bass coming!

[@billandben5998]

I can confirm as a lump the only shoe I have worn I didn’t bottom out over 5 miles is the ASICS gel nimbus. Thanks for thinking about as larger lads.

[@EDDBUD]

Just go the Kayano 31 in for testing. This will no doubt be of interest too

[@stevecolders]

Really liked the Trail 4 and can see me picking this up when the price drops a touch.

[@Halvador]

Love your videos Ed!!

[@EDDBUD]

Glad you like them!

[@frozen_jug_band]

Interesting review Edd, amazingly I've never run in any version of the Peg but this one seems like it could find a place in my rotation at some point. I've actually just picked up a pair of Adidas Terrex Agravic Speeds (not the Ultra version with energy rods) for a similar price to the Peg Trail though. Not run in them yet but look a quality pair of lightweight trail shoes with a dual Lightstrike/LS Pro midsole and Continental rubber outsole. Will report back but think they could be up your strasse too- they look like an Adios 8 for the trails!

[@EDDBUD]

It’s a good allrounder. Bit of a Botham shoe

[@matthiassventoest6800]

excellent initial review.., be well

[@EDDBUD]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@bytetacos]

If eddbud doesnt give this nike a burn i would be surprised he crushes all the nike products lol

[@EDDBUD]

Quite like this one. Pegasus 40 too and the peg trail 4. Also the alphafly 3 is top

[@techninemike09]

It appears you haven’t watched too many Nike reviews that Edd’s done, great thorough reviews and definitely no Nike hate from our man Edd Bud!

[@dinkthinks3958]

Just picked this one up yesterday! Been running roads mostly so didn’t need an aggressive trail shoe for the gravel trails I’ve been running. Was a pretty smooth ride on 5 miles this am. Probably wouldn’t take it much higher than a 15-20 mile run. Zegama 2 was tempting but a bit overkill for me on beefiness and price at this time.

[@EDDBUD]

Yeah it’s about right for me and a good casual rocker too without the outlandish Zegama looks!

[@RowOfMushyTiT]

I bought both and didn't enjoy the fit and clunkyness of the Zegama 2. It fits like a Hoka now - quite tapered forefoot and also significant heel slip.

[@ianlowe4126]

Thanks Ed. In my opinion the Merrell Morphlite a better option road to trail or the brilliant Agility Peak 5 which can handle more technical stuff. 😉

[@owendonnelly178]

Picked a pair up for 109 quid gonna race them over 9 mile mixed trail race tomorrow ❤

[@EDDBUD]

Ideal for such an event. Hope they do the trick

[@strength4all185]

The GTX version has appeared on the Nike site as coming soon however there’s a rather mysterious mention of it utilising an Air Zoom unit with the ReactX. Must be a mistake, surely?

[@EDDBUD]

Let me investigate!

[@andytlwy]

And just like that, the Pegasus Trail 4 gtx goes on sale for €72 on Zalando here in NL. Straight in the basket thank you!

Love my peg trail 4’s nearly 300kms into my second pair, great on road to light trails and gravel. Way better all round than peg 40 which was awful imho… can see the 5s coming into the cupboard.

[@RegenTonnenEnte]

Like most Nike shoes these will go on Sale and I'm going to buy one at 50% off, a pair of the Zegama 2 too

Haha I did this last week. Peg trail 5 for 80E and Zegama 2's for 110E.

Hopefully if they do make a GoreTex model, I might consider. My Peg Trail 4 GTX still holding up

I've always thought that a trail shoe without a weatherproof upper is pointless and this shoe does nothing to change my mind. It could be okay for an every day trainer for shopping trips and visits to the pub, though.

Problem is that a water proof upper keeps the water in as well! Goretex is funny like that

[@leebrown3645]

@@EDDBUD Good point, Edd. I've never noticed it with my Puma Voyage GTX, but I've always been more worried about rain and sludge getting in my trail shoes than moisture finding its way out.

[@mfam72]

My foot just could not fit the old Pegasus Trail 4. I wonder if this model can finally fit my wide foot.

[@RowOfMushyTiT]

Wider than the 4, but Nike will never suit a low arch/wide midfoot.

[@Natan9000]

The low toe box is so low my big toes always hit the ceiling in the Pegasus trail and I want to like it but it simply doesn’t fit because of this…😢

[@EDDBUD]

Like the width here. Doesn’t taper as much as the standard Pegasus

'Traction' pun very much intended! Good vid as always, unlike Nike's snooz-a-thon shoe offerings!!

[@brokenfreddy1262]

The outsole looks just like my salomon S/lab pulsar and I suspect has better cushioning at about 1/2 the stack and the size 9 is about 6.4oz..I find much better shoes by staying away from big names..but Nike probably has the best marketing out there..

[@EDDBUD]

Yes this one is probably one of their best available retail shoes in fairness. Some of the other line up is mystifying!

[@andrewarnold9642]

Hello shoe people. What would you say the best pair of Nikes are for daily use at work walking on concrete floors for 9 hours at a time stocking?

[@EDDBUD]

Invincible 3 for mega cushion or perhaps a peg 41 for something a little more down to earth.

[@TomUK7]

You might want to look at a pair of ankle boots tbh. Tying laces at the ankle takes pressure off feet. A rigid midsole preferably with a shank for support. Maybe even a pair of Blundstones? Or Caterpillar Colorados. Come to think of it a wedge sole would be awesome with a shank. Something like a Redwing Moc toe which I think were actually designed to be worn on factory floors. When you consider the amount of top grade leather and build quality that goes into Redwings theyre actually well priced when compared to other shoes.

[@neilcam]

Damn that's a chunky weight, especially for a shoe without a rock plate. Yeh, nah, as they say here in Australia. Wouldn't work for me on our usually very rocky dry trails.

[@EDDBUD]

There’s loads better shoes for that. But this isn’t really aimed at technical areas

[@pierrotgodot]

Being a well traveled modern gentleman I'm sure you know this, but there's no such thing as "buffed out US trails", it varies widely. The trails in the Mid-atlantic and Northeast regions are probably more like UK trails than you'd think, plenty of bog, plenty of mud, plenty of soft shoe consuming wet clay. Great review as usual though, MIGHT give this one a go

[@EDDBUD]

It makes we wonder what they produce it for. As it’s not an out and out trail shoe neither a road model. I think my home town and Portland have lots in common. Much rain, ( it’s raining now! ) and probably closer to what you would use a standard trail shoe for. But this is close enough for me

[@pierrotgodot]

@@EDDBUD With the new tread pattern I think they are probably producing it for a sort of "rail trail" or light park trail type setting. I have taken previous versions on technical trails and while they work, the outsole grip was abysmal. Sometimes I think they make the Peg Trail to walk around the mall and go to the shops =)

[@lesismore6768]

Do you reckon this is ok for a wide foot?
