Nike Pegasus Trail 4 GORE-TEX review

[@OptimusPerformante]

I use pegasus when i go for a long walk in the city. They are super soft.

[@trailandkale]

They are nice and cushioned 👌🏼

[@ceaseuno1]

I love these shoes. I'm using them as my daily, disc golf, and indoor workout shoes and they have been great so far. I'm tough on my shoes and I wanted move into a goretex shoe to see if I can get two years from a pair. My last shoe was a Brooks Revel and they only lasted a year which was expected given the way I use my shoes.

[@trailandkale]

How long have you been using them so far?

[@4evertubeyou2]

are they too warm for the summer? because I want to get them

[@trailandkale]

@4evertubeyou2 they’re definitely warmer than the non gtx version but depending on where you live, how hot it is there, and how far you run - you may be fine with these!

[@4evertubeyou2]

@@trailandkale thanks I will go for the normal one, pegasus trail 4

[@trailandkale]

@4evertubeyou2 the Pegasus Trail 5 is a big improvement over the 4 - I’d try to get that one If you can: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKitcqeoi89_gKcsi=pqOXssXW7AkWUy3G

Great review. Maybe winter running, what do you think?

[@trailandkale]

For sure they’re spot on for autumn through spring 👍🏼

[@mr.x335h]

Nice review. I'm planning to buy these for my daily 2-mile walking commute to work. It's summer nowadays, and I'm not sure how I would feel in the London Tube with them on. Any suggestions or recommendations?

[@trailandkale]

Thank you! I recon you may feel hot in these during London summers. I worded in the city for 5 years so know exactly how hot it gets 😅 have you considered the Peg Trail 5 instead?

[@mr.x335h]

@@trailandkale regret buying this shoes. So hot from inside makes you take off after 10-15 mins...... I will now try trail 5 as per ur recommendation 🙏

[@trailandkale]

@mr.x335h hope you enjoy them! ✌🏼

[@NDparticular]

I work as a mailman, do you think they’d be a good fit as just a high mileage walking shoe. I like it for the gortex and all black colorway

[@trailandkale]

Yeah they should be great for that!

[@No-vu7pc]

Hi fellow mailman. I'm starting in may, so I'm also looking for a lightweight goretex black sneaker. I'm 99% sold on these. For winter I'm thinking about getting the Merrell Thermo Chill.

[@christianbattung2548]

TY for the review! What size would you recommend? I am usually 10 with the pegasus series

[@trailandkale]

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! I recommend sticking with your usual sizing. It’s inline with the Pegasus series 👍🏼

[@christianbattung2548]

Thank you!!

[@dmc2095]

same man, i am 10.5 US for pegasus 40 series and 10.5 from this trail 4 gtx fit perfectly! (i'm wide foot)

[@trailandkale]

Glad it worked out for you! ✌🏼

[@dmc2095]

@@trailandkale true! it's just the middle base it's really soft in the back I don't like it cuz it seems very breakeable haha (sorry for english)

[@MeditatingB]

What shoe do you recommend for chronic ankle instability? This one I was thinking because of the lower stack but also with how it kind of wraps the ankle. If not this one what do you recommend? I just took a nasty fall and sprained my ankle wearing a Nike V2k run. I love walking so much having this time off of my feet is so hard!! So I’m really taking my next shoe choice seriously 😂 I know people say hokas but for ankles I’m thinking less platform the better.

[@trailandkale]

Hey Brandy - sorry you sprained your ankle and hope it recovers soon!! You’re right, the lower the drop, and the lower the stack height the better if you do tend to roll your ankles. Also a bit of stability in the midsole will help. Have you explored Altra at all? Most of their shoes are zero drop, have a nice amount of space in the toe box and are stable shoes. Helen loves the Timo 5 right now… here’s her review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nneacqKVqtWGqbcsi=GtQZdBLsp3SyKU-7 - I personally love the Speedgoat 6 as it’s a great all rounder that has cushioning but it also stable, review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h16WnGWrrNF9p7csi=CuZS2DtaLZF9U0-j - the Adidas soul stride ultra is very supportive too! Here’s my review of that one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aabPhKtumpaniLMsi=2RVjxZrfkyisrYDZ - watching those reviews will hopefully get you matched up with the right one for you :)

[@VeronikaŘehořová]

Hi, thank you for the review! I would like to buy them.. I am just considering if this type is also good for a road running?

[@trailandkale]

Yes it’s a great hybrid (road/trail) running shoe. If you need a waterproof shoe go for this one, others go for the Pegasus Trail 5

[@muhammadal-madani6066]

Can these be used as everyday driving shoes?

[@trailandkale]

Yes they’re very comfortable and have good grip for the pedals

[@helend2820]

I have Hokas but considering a pair of these for the more mellow trails…

[@trailandkale]

Which Hokas are you running in?

[@ilovemusic6794]

I have the NEW Hoka Challenger ATR 7 Trail Running Shoes. They definitely do the job for me. Very bouncy. I just need to do better on where my knee leg and foot are going while running. Technique is everything and I’ve been watching KZbin college and Olympic women runners talking about all of that your form while running makes a whole lot of difference as far and energy or wastes energy and your speed. Your form affects pretty much everything. I did a 5k April 16th in the Hokas and my time was 43:13 and I could have pushed myself harder but I didn’t. It’s been a few years since it did a 5k 2019 my time was 1 hour 38 mins so I definitely improved on that time. I’m afraid if I get Nike shoes it won’t be as bouncy as the HOKA’S and I have bad knees so I need that cushiness. I’m not a professional runner by any means so I don’t agree with the store employees saying all trust me you want a shoe with less bounce and more about firmness and hard soles. Naaa that’s all for people in their early 20’s who don’t have arthritis yet in their knees by all means get shoes like that they can take the punishment I can’t!!

[@kushalmalvania-fx5pf]

Are these good for walking trails and indoor training as well? The other option I looked at is Nike Pegasus 39 Shield (which are not GTX)

[@trailandkale]

Being gore tex they’re not as breathable for indoor workouts as a non gtx version but otherwise they’re be good for it

[@kushalmalvania-fx5pf]

@@trailandkale Ok, thanks! Any reviews of the Nike Pegasus 39 Shield?

[@trailandkale]

Unfortunately not, sorry!

[@sethdbrown30]

How do these fit compared to the non-gtx version? Ive read a couple reviews stating they run a bit shorter.

[@trailandkale]

Very similar!

[@trailandkale]

In my experience my usual sizing worked perfectly for both

[@sethdbrown30]

Thank you!

[@lawbinson]

I feel it too. Have both the Peg trail 3 and peg trail 3 gtx. Maybe the Goretex is a bit less flexible?

[@p5rsona]

walking on uneven trails i noticed my feet move around a lot, feels really uncomfy and unstable. im afraid of twisting my ankle at times cuz there is no rigid cage holding the foot down. did you experience this?

[@trailandkale]

Have you tried racers loop lacing to help lock your foot in the shoe? Racers Loop Heel Lock Lacing Demo: How To Stop Your Heel Slipping Out Of Your Running Shoes kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmmooop7bNqom68 - it’s not the most stable shoe as it’s a road to trail hybrid shoe at its heart.

[@p5rsona]

@@trailandkale much appreciated will give it a try

Bunlar yazın girilebilir mi?

[@hannibalXIII]

Hello..I need an information please..are they fully waterproof??And by fully waterproof I mean in a heavy rainy day what will happen?

[@trailandkale]

Hey 👋🏼 yes they are fully waterproof, but bear in mind if water runs down into the shoes by your ankles, there’s no stopping that..

[@MAELLEES]

Will they fit wider feet? Or are they more on the narrow side?

[@trailandkale]

Hey, they're a medium width fit (definitely not narrow), so it depends how wide your feet are... Some more info on fit here: www.trailandkale.com/shoe-reviews/nike-pegasus-trail-4-gore-tex-review/

[@kingpinnoxx3345]

Are they good on concrete trails ?

[@trailandkale]

That’s a contradiction in terms if I ever heard one! 🤔😝 But, they do grip well on the concrete 👍🏼

[@stevemiller2853]

How about hiking?

[@trailandkale]

They’d be good for hiking, just nothing too technical..

[@trailandkale]

What’s your favorite trail running shoe?

[@brianogrady9883]

Norda 001. They got me around the TDS. I've tried more or less every trail brand and current crop of trail supershoe. These are the only shoe that I've gone straight into my second pair. They are just perfect. I still use the first pair after 600 miles

[@trailandkale]

Awesome, I need to get hold of a pair for review!

[@brianogrady9883]

@@trailandkale You'll love them Alastair. They start off a little bit firmer than you would expect, but only slightly, then they hit the sweet spot after around 100K where the dyneema upper just moulds to your foot

I’m excited to try them out on the trails here! Thanks for pointing them out to me!
