[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are super comfy! They use the newest cushion zoom X. The Pegasus line has evolved and now offer a trail version. These shoes are very light and has thick rubber outsole. It is very durable and it has to be due to being outdoors. The laces are thin and the tongue is padded. Another feature of the tongue is that it is U shaped on the top to surround your ankle. Some may like it but others won’t. The material is very light and no notable seams. It is water resistant but no shoes are water proof as all shoes have a big hole where your feet goes in it. The fit is snug so if you have wide feet go up a size.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nike Acg Pegasus Trail is a very comfortable shoe for all activities. Super soft sole that works great when standing. I love how the shoe feels on my feet without any bulging pain that I have felt before. Very Lightweight but durable at the same time. The top mesh is breathable which cools off my feet after exercise. They stand out due to the reflective swoosh but not too much where they are obnoxious, i really do love the black color way. The only issue i have with them is they don't seem to run right to size, they tip is a big longer than expected. Would recommend overall.
This shoe is a great running shoe. I run daily with my dogs over rough terrain as well as separate training runs. Over the last few years I have used trail shoes goretex 5 model. This shoe is an improvement for ride, feel and fit. I wear different shoes for different running activity for example marathons compared to 10k. Waterproofing is important for me so I hope they might produce a goretex version. I appreciate we are all different but for any trail runner from casual to serious I can recommend this shoe. Well done Nike.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ACG Pegasus Trail is a robust pair of runners. The fit is true to size for me, with a slightly wider toe box that I do appreciate. It has a standard design without any frills. The rope-like heel pull tab is a nice touch. I didn’t notice any reflective element on the shoes which is unfortunate. The tongue is nicely padded which adds to the comfort. Underfoot, the ReactX foam didn’t feel like anything special but was comfortable enough. This is most likely an issue with just me, but my left ankle began getting sore after wearing these for extended periods and that lasted for approximately a week. A feature I do wish it had is waterproofing. I have an iteration of the Pegasus trail with waterproofing and I use that as my primary rainy weather sneakers and have worn them around the globe when traveling.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are super comfortable, they feel like a good balance between weight and support for trails and different kinds of terrain. I think you will find their performance solid on trails and not bad on roads either. The amount of bounce was a little surprising at first, but is nice when running. I recommend them. They look a bit more sleek than a lot of my trail shoes, but have a good amount of room in the toe box.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nike does ACG and Trail shoes the right way. This is the only company that is consistent with their trail line. I don’t have a lot of trails near by, but this shoe is perfect to walk around in uneven ground, gravel or even the sand at the beach. The shoes are really comfortable and made well. I plan on going on more hikes soon and know that this shoe will hold up for those workouts. I still have a pair from a few years ago that are still holding up very well and still look brand new. This shoe will last a long time and will definitely hold up for all your trail and weather conditions you meet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Acg Pegasus Trail is so good. This is a great outdoor shoe. For running, these blend responsiveness and stability well. Size fit true and toe box feels great. I enjoy the energy return on the toe. There’s a lot of grip and support on these even on downhill runs. My feet remained dry and shoes were breathable. Design is simple and clean. Two thumbs up from me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really impressed with the Nike ACG Pegasus Trail shoes—they’re super lightweight and just feel fast and comfortable right out of the box. Fit was true to size and nicely snug. The tread is excellent, especially on dry trails and loose gravel, where they gave me a ton of confidence with really solid grip. I’ve used them for a mix of 4-8 mile mixed trail and road running, plus some hiking, casual wear, and even a few gym sessions, and they’ve held up great across the board. The design is clean and versatile, and the material feels breathable without sacrificing durability. What I liked most is how adaptable they are—you can kind of do everything in them without needing to switch shoes. The only potential downside is that they don’t offer a ton of ankle support and have generous cushion, so they might not be the best choice if you have sensitive ankles or are tackling more technical, uneven terrain. Overall though, a really great all-around trail-running shoe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes were perfect right out of the box! Decided to take them for a moderate 6 mile hike in a nearby state park. No blisters or anything like that and they look great in the sun! Overall fit was really good as well, just the right amount of room for my toes and no issues with the width.
This shoe is amazing! The fit is perfect with right amount of cushion ensuring maximum comfort. The grip is great while running. The toe area feels spacious and the reactx foam ensures great feeling in each step. I do not want to take them off!
