Our take on the Nike Men's Pegasus Trail 5

The Nike Pegasus Trail 5 is a do-it-all trail running shoe built to handle pavement, gravel and singletrack in the same run. Its ReactX foam midsole is claimed to return 13% more energy than the previous React foam, and the All Terrain Compound rubber outsole is made for wet rock and steep climbs. The engineered mesh upper mixes open holes for breathability with denser weaves at the toe box, and Flywire lacing locks the midfoot. It is a moderate-weight, neutral-style trail shoe rather than a waterproof or protective model.

Best forRunners who mix road and trail on the same routeNeutral runners wanting a cushioned daily trail trainerHikers and fastpackers on light, non-technical trailsCommuters who want one shoe for pavement and dirt

Questions and answers

Is the Pegasus Trail 5 worth it?
Yes for runners who split time between road and trail. It is cushioned and grippy enough for most light trails, and it costs less than dedicated mountain shoes. Skip it if you need waterproofing or deep-lug traction.
How does it compare to the Pegasus Trail 4?
The main change is the ReactX midsole, which Nike says is 13% more responsive than the previous React foam. The outsole compound and general fit carry over, so owners of the Trail 4 get a bouncier ride rather than a new shape.
Is it waterproof?
No. The engineered mesh upper is breathable, not waterproof, and it takes on water in rain or puddles. There is no GTX version in this listing.
How does it fit?
It runs true to size for most runners, with a snug midfoot from the Flywire lacing and a roomier toe box. Runners between sizes or with wide feet should consider going up a half size.
Can I use it on roads?
Yes. The shallow lugs and ReactX foam make it comfortable on pavement, which is the point of the shoe. Expect faster lug wear if you run mostly on asphalt.
When is it cheapest?
Trail Pegasus models usually drop when the next version launches and during end-of-season clearance. Watch for markdowns in late summer and around major sales events.
