Advice for Trail Runners: The Nike Men's Pegasus Trail 4 Trail Running Shoes are well equipped to handle runs involving both road and trail. They provide a great combination of grip and cushioning.
Underfoot Feel
From a cushioning perspective, the midsole is made with Nike's React foam. This creates a smooth and responsive underfoot feel. The midsole should be capable of providing ample cushioning for sections of road and hard ground.
The traction pattern on the rubber outsole will provide grip and confidence on rocky trails and soft ground.
Upper Fit
The engineered mesh results in a lightweight and breathable upper. There is extra material at the toes for durability reasons.
At the midfoot, you will find Flywire technology providing support to keep your foot in place.
Ideal Run Type
The Nike Men's Pegasus Trail 4 Trail Running Shoes are best for runs involving a combination of road and trail. Best suited to training runs at slow to steady paces. If you will be running over very muddy ground, the Peg Trail 4 are probably not the correct shoes; you will want more lug depth for such conditions. However, if you are looking for shoes that bridge the gap between road shoes and out and out trail shoes - the Pegasus Trail 4 are a great choice.

Sizing Advice
Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.
Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).
This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
