React Pegasus Trail 4 GORE-TEX Running Shoe - Men's

Underwhelming, nothing special!

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex - underwhelming, a downgrade, nothing special! Make sure you get these sneakers on some kind of a discount. Pegasus Trail 3s Gore-Tex were better designed and made! And now the (Nike Zegama Men's Trail Running Shoes) looks like what the Pegasus Trail 3’s were, how confusing. The Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex are ultra-lightweight sneakers with NOT enough protection for what they we’re and are supposed to be. Barely any all-important arch support :( wish these sneakers had OrthoLite Open-Cell Foam Insoles! No toe-tip protection. Only 6 lace-lets, needs a centered 7th on the vampm an a lace through tongue. Needs 1 to 2 mm more heel-height. Very oddly rounded sloppy toe-box and toe-cap. Also their is exposed midsole foam on the outer-soles. These are NOT supposed to be ultra-lightweight outdoor trail running sneakers. Nike Footwear Designers please leave that for other models such as the Pegasus 36 Gore-Tex. I’m looking for great design, build quality, durability, performance fitment, support, stability, style, waterproofing, and grippy traction. Why does Nike’s Trail Running Sneakers have these wider toe-boxes and rounded toe-caps which does NOT ergonomically contour the front of the asymmetrical human foot properly? To sloppy! They’re fine for every-day wear, but I don’t feel they offer enough support, stability, or durability for any kind of real active athletic endeavors. Pros are that they are Gore-Tex with a slight gator and pull-tabs, and they are very breathable because of the thin Gore-Tex membrane. *And they finally came out in an all Blacked-Out color-way, but the all-Black color-way was only offered on nike.com and in Nike stores, hard to obtain. Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex are actually lighter than the lower profiled Pegasus 36 Gore-Tex which are ultra-lightweight, which is NOT what I want or need. But the one thing I like about the Pegasus 36 Gore-Tex is it has a more asymmetrical ergonomic pointed toe-box and toe-cap. The Air Max 2015 was the best shaped and fitting sneaker Nike has ever designed and produced. Nike Designers please stick with the Air Max 2015’s awesome Last!!! Height: Low Height of the Upper: Low Gator Waterproof: Gore-Tex Foot Protection: Basic :( Foot Support: Neutral Cushioning: Moderate Insoles: Average :( Arch Support: Low :( Shoe Width: Medium to Wide Toe-Box: Wide :( Toe-Cap: Rounded :( Drop: 10 mm, needs 1+ mm more in Heel Height! Fitment: True to Size in length, BUT wide in the Toe-Box. I'll be switching to the Nike’s Zegama Gore-Tex version in all-Black whenever they are released.
