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.
