- Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex Review - First Impressions (HUGE Weight Drop) - welcome back to another video and today I am giving you my first impressions review of the nike pegasus trail 4 gore-tex. This shoe has had a makeover and for the better, with a HUGE weight drop, the nike pegasus trail 4 gore-text suddenly jumps up into a whole new category and despite it being designed as a commuter trail shoe, I now feel this can serve multiple purposes!

Check out this video for a long run in the Pegasus trail 4 and a few comments on the grip - czcams.com/video/oYZ5EF49gnU/video.html
I agree. The mid sole here, whatever they did to the react in this shoe, just makes it feel like it part of your foot. I have the Peg 39's, and they are, by far, a different ride. The Zoom air bags in that shoe just felt like a wade of gum some one through on the sidewalk, and I stepped in it. I wore these in the rain here in Oklahoma for two days, commuting, and hiking, and they were fantastic. My feet stayed completely dry. I never felt Overheated, because of the Gortex, and like most other React foam shoes, the more you where them the softer they get. I will also be wearing mine more than I intended to, just because the fit so well.
Love the 4! A great road to trail shoe and sooo much better than the previous version. Spot on review. But I was true to size🤷♂️
Just picked up these shoes over boxing day as a Canadian Winter trail runner. ParkRun this week had a few inches of snow on the trail and I found my toes wet and cold so wanted something with good traction and Gore-Tex waterproofing. Tried these on and the wide toe box and general comfy feel made them a no brainer purchase. Looking forward to the recent freezing rain to go away so I can go for a snow rip in these beauties!
Are they fully waterptoof? I mean will the feet be dry seeped inside the water? Than you
My GoreTex Trail 3 soles are starting to wear down, so I’m excited to hear that these have a more responsive midsole. The 3s have never felt like they transfer energy all that well, however, have the perfect stability for me.
And nothing beats being able to go out on a drizzling day with headphones in, not a care in the world.
Yeah these are a really good upgrade from the 3 💪
they arent waterproof. mine let water in from brand new. the marketing is a scam
Good to see this. You got the "wacky" colour. I went for the black one thinking will soon end up that way. I reviewed it a few weeks when we were in the middle of a heatwave which seemed a bit odd although the waterproof tests I did cooled me down a bit although I found them surprisingly breathable in relative terms anyway. Agree seems a good improvement on the 3 - losing a fair bit of weight - although mine were a bit different weight wise despite us both being UK 13 - 370g in the 4 and 396g in the 3. The 2 was higher still at 410g so definitely going the right way. I think what they have done is turned it from an out and out "everyday" trail shoe to a more of a road to trail shoe as I found them very comfortable on the road. As you say the foam feels softer but I think that is partly as the outsole is not as rugged as a "normal" trail shoe which has also helped save weight. That suits me fine as I like to use a shoe like this on "off road" runable trails like old railways and/or like your forest ones which are often bone dry in summer but usually anything but in the winter. Water proofing worked very well with only water seeping a little bit if I ran through fords about 6 inches deep which is rare! That gaiter did help there too. I thought it was "true to size" length wise for me and should accommodate quite a lot of foot widths as I had to pull in the laces a fair bit with my narrow feet. I guess with trail shoes it depends what thickness of socks you like to use. If you want to use thicker ones and are "between" sizes then probably best to go up. Anyway I much preferred this one to the Zegama which is somewhat heavier and indeed feels it.
Yeah the weight reduction in each version is promising, funny how our weight are different being the same size shoes 😂 let’s hope they keep dropping the weight down even more for future versions!
@Texasgirlinacrazyworld well if you saw my review I stood in a ford and did not get my feet wet. If however you pour down your legs might be a different story.
Cracking review. Especially on the size issues.
Good review!
Yep we're all thinking of the winter coming now and needing the trail shoes again... I bet people will be waiting to hear how that outsole fares in the wet and mud, plus the longevity on them too, when that pretty colourway will totally change 😂😂 Got any trail races yourself in the works Andy??
Yeah it won’t stay this nice for long haha! Nothing booked but the one I did back in May has made me realise what I’m missing out on so I will be booking into one or two at some stage
A great looking shoe that Andy! Really like that colour way. 👌 Sounds like Nike have made a decent shoe here. 😎🤘
Thanks mate! Yes they have, this one is worth it 💪
Great review, I ordered these today and should arrive on Tuesday. Can't wait to go for a quick first run in them. Can I ask, what are those socks you're wearing in the clips? The blue ones with the birds. Thanks!
Thanks! They are from versus socks, just Google “versus socks” and it’s them 👍
Awsome review. As comfy as my peg 38s. A bit wider toebox which is more suited to the shape of my feet. Only thing is that the laces are too short. ‘What you were thinking?’ sort of short. Trying to make a tie using the plasticy bits:)
Thanks for the review. One question when will we see adidas adios pro 3 on your feet.. We are all waiting 🙂
Oh man….. please don’t, I’ve just bought the novablast v3 and I don’t even really have the money for those 😂
I just grabbed the standard Peg Trail 4 last week to use for spring/summer training here in New Zealand. All good so far, and I have plenty of other options for when it’s been raining. But man… it would be great if Nike could bother to sort their outsoles.
So yeah… I need to see if this has improved from v3 or not… I need the wet weather to come around to see how they perform 🧐
Andy great vlog and and with an honest opinion as always. Looking for a trail shoe for the winter months and was wondering what you would suggest?
I love this but also I’ve enjoyed the ASICS fuji lite, that’s a great trail shoe too!
@@TheFODRunner Thanks so much Andy. I think I will give the Nikes a go.
I love the 4 (the standard version) I was half size down in the 3 / 3gtx and peg 36 trail gtx before - but true to size in these. Lets hope Pro Run send you the Zegama I’d enjoy that video 😉 (just received my refund this morning)
Glad you like the standard version, really impressive these peg 4s aren’t they! Haha I haven’t tried those yet… I take it from those comments I should leave well alone 😂
@@TheFODRunner they were ok, comfortable but a fair bit heavier…. if these are a 9/10 those are a 6/10
In have the gore Tex v2 and I ended up using it in soft snow when we had it (rare, but happened in the Uk) I’ve also ended up using it for gardening in between the running. I just found it came up a bit small, especially compared to the standard peg. Just brought the non gore Tex v4 for the winter as I mostly run local parks, and the gore Tex was a bit over kill.
I see a few people in the comments opted for the non gore-tex option actually, seems like a popular choice!
Gore-Tex shoes are in my opinion not made for longer runs when it is raining. While the material will keep water from going through the upper, there is always one big issue:
we all know it, if it is raining then the water will be running down your legs and will run down your ankles right into the socks and shoes. The collar is not going to be tight enough to stop it from entering your shoes. So eventually all of the water will start accumulating inside of the shoe, soaking your socks and in the end collecting like a puddle inside the shoe as the material won‘t let it escape. This will lead to a lot of weight and makes it feel like you are running barefooted through puddles the whole time. 😝
What is a GTX shoe best for: those cold and wet winter months, when it is not actually raining but generally wet outside. Lots of puddles and potential mud, slush or snow. These shoes will do a perfect job keeping your feet dry and warm in those conditions. Or when you are not running too long and you only have light rain or drizzle, then they will hold up great a s well.
Love this 👏 very true as well, although I did mind that material around the top to fit well around the top of the foot. But yes inevitably some water will get in!
i have to say i am really happy, that the Pegasus line is changing for the better. I even might buy a pair next year......i am all for colorful shoes, but this one is not my cup of tea🤣
Yeah honestly this version I would genuinely recommend A LOT…. The weight drop is a beautiful thing and the midsole is a solid 8 or 9 out of 10 💪
Looking forward to a black version
They’re released over here, not sure if they are with you yet?!
Interested in the longer term review following a wet 3hr+ run? The non GTX version I have now with c90miles is like a sponge. Awful. Doesn't drain/dry, so it's a very uncomfortable run once wet (from sweat & puddles). Now gotta buy some winter shoes! Probably the Xodus Ultra.
Yeah that’ll be the next test…. I’m sure those rainy days are just around the corner!
Good review! How do you think which one is better between trail4 GTX and ZoomX Zegama?
Thanks! I haven’t tried the zegama sadly 😞
Very comfortable shoe
Thanks for the video.
After some time now, were you able to test them in the rain?
Are they water proof?
Yes find in the rain! The grip isn’t great sadly…. Check this video out - czcams.com/video/oYZ5EF49gnU/video.html
@@TheFODRunner sad to hear this man, i was about to buy these after the intial review and hearing its much better than the 3'rd version.
well now after you have been trying it out i think im gonna pass, these would have been my winter running shoes but if the grip is bad already, thats really bad. i mostly run on snowny pavement.
Thanks for the review
Would you use this shoe on dry trails when it’s not raining as a “ regular “ trail shoe as well ?
Thanks
Yes I would, it’s very comfortable for that sort of run 👍
Currently living in Middle East
Summer trails are HOT
Gore Tex ok for this type of weather or would you recommend a different pair in summer ?
Thanks again !
@@davidzlotnick1899 if it’s hot maybe try the normal version (non gortex) it even the terra kiger 8 as that has a much more breathable upper
I am not finding these comfy, soft, or plush at all, yet all reviews I've found call them so.
I'm comparing it to the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Shield (my previous shoes) and the Hoka Challenger ATR 6 GTX (what I bought after trying to like the Pegasus Trail 4 GTX).
What gives? Is there much variability in manufacturing? Are they "plush" relative to the typical trail shoe? Do they need a breaking-in?
Thanks for the information and review!
I didn’t find them too plushy myself compared to the Speedgoat seemed more comfortable. I tried them both on today. I actually found the Speedgoat 5 non-Gore-Tex model the lighted and most comfortable, but this were also light! I just hear they don’t breath too good.
Did you end up doing a winter test on the Nike Pegasus Trail 4?
How this compare with the Speed Goat? Is it suitabe for an ultra trail race? Thanks buddy
I think the grip on the speedgoat would be superior to this but in terms of lightweight and comfort they’re not too far apart!
I still haven’t these being tested on trails with small mud sections. Have you managed to hit the mud in these? 🙌🏼
Not yet! Rain hasn’t really started to fall hard enough yet and I’ve been down with covid so hopefully over the next month!
Would be interested in picking these up but I want to find out how they are in the wet first as the previous Pegasus trails have not been great for that 😑
I’ll do some testing as soon as it rains… that wont be long 😂
@@TheFODRunner haha yes no doubt it won't be 🤣
@@TheFODRunner how was it
man i really like this, but i want the black version. this is the only one i see available
Prodirect have them in black - www.prodirectrunning.com/p/nike-react-pegasus-trail-4-gore-tex-black-wolf-grey-reflective-silver-mens-shoes-268813/
Great review, answered almost all my questions! Thanks!
How’s the colourway looking now? Are they almost a ‘wipe clean’ goretex? Or have they already turned muddy grey? 😂
Colourway is still all good! The goretex wipes nice and clean!
It's too bad nike can't standardize react midsoles..in some shoes it's nearly perfect cushioning (epic react and infinity react) then it's a brick..the durability is great but you never know which react you are getting..
Yeah exactly!! If this was in the road versions I’d never complain about react again!
Would you recommend this over the trail 3 gortex? how's the durability too
Oh I much prefer this version! Actually taking it out for a long run tomorrow… more testing this winter in terms of durability 🙏
@@TheFODRunner thanks
Wonder if the white upper gets dirty since its goretex
Not yet, wipes down nicely!
Can this shoes be used on the Trendmill machine.
It could… but it is really meant for light trail running… there are better treadmill shoes than this one
do they have carbon plate in them?
No
How's the waterproofing?
So far so good, but the weather hasn’t been bad enough to give them a real “winter” test yet…
Looks like a wildehorse 9.5
Serious question. Did it sent little shockwaves to your balls with every step run? It felt great on my foot and calves but the shockwaves to the nuts felt weird.
Um…. I can confirm this didn’t happen to me! 😬
lacks plush on the toe part for me. :)
Did you notice if these shoes ran smaller than usual?
Yes! I recommend half sizing up or maybe even a full size
@@TheFODRunner Ok thanks for confirming…thought it was just me!!! Great review!!
Be careful with the size up advice. I had to size down from a 44.5eu to 44 from saucony/adidas/Salomon
I have the last gen gore Tex version of these and they aren't waterproof. Can't even walk across a wet field without getting wet feet. All marketing horses***
I’ve also got the 3 gore tex. I’ve used them constantly since October in both rain and snow (about 900km) and have remained completely dry and warm. I think there are different batches of these shoes that are either waterproof or not. Luck of the draw but sloppy production from Nike
@@djlewis5149 for £130 if it says waterproof on he box and the shoes not waterproof what does that mean? its just a lucky dip that maaaaybe you might get what you paid for? They shouldnt be advertising it as waterproof if only some of them might be waterproof.
@@buuuuuuuuuuuuuu totally agree they should be. But if some of them are and some not I’d be tempted to email Nike with your experience. You never know
Would you recommend these for treadmill running?
No, these are road to trail shoes and mainly for light trail work
Heel slippage from them
Ah no! I haven’t had that myself
Can these shoes go in summer?
They’d be a bit warm, I’d choose the normal version over this GTX for summer!
@@TheFODRunner Thank you for your interesting review. For a walking use on cold seasons but on warm season too, do you suggest this shoe? I'm looking for a shoes that I can use in Holland in June for walking every day.
