- Is the Pegasus Trail 3 GTX good for road running too?
- Yes. The React foam and 9.5 mm drop feel much like a road Pegasus, so short pavement stretches are comfortable. The lugged outsole is a little noisy and stiff on hard surfaces.
- How does it compare with the standard Pegasus Trail 3?
- The GTX version adds a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane for wet weather. It is heavier and warmer than the standard shoe, which breathes better in dry, hot conditions.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most runners find it true to size with a slightly snug midfoot. Those wearing thick wool socks or wide feet may want to size up half a size.
- Is it good for hiking?
- It works for light hikes and wet trails thanks to the cushioning and waterproof upper. It lacks the underfoot protection and deep lugs of a dedicated hiking shoe on rocky or muddy routes.
- What drop does it have?
- It has a 9.5 mm heel-to-toe drop, close to the road Pegasus. That suits heel strikers and runners used to higher-drop shoes.
- Does the Gore-Tex upper need special care?
- Rinse off mud with cool water and air dry; avoid machine washing and high heat, which can damage the membrane. Reapply a DWR treatment if water stops beading.
