Nike Pegasus Trail 4 GTX

The Nike Pegasus Trail 4 GTX fits the bill splendidly for wet, cool, and non-technical terrain. The GORE-TEX upper feels surprisingly light, pliable, and breathable for the great protection it offers. The ‘gaiterish’ ankle collar and nicely padded wide tongue give a sock-like feel contouring the foot and providing excellent coverage preventing debris from entering the shoe. Dual pull tabs are especially useful with these softer upper elements. The midsole is responsive, yet soft enough to dampen the load from firmer ground. A heel-striking runner that doesn’t veer too far off trail will appreciate the reliability and traditional road feel of yet another very impressive iteration of the Pegasus.
