"What I love about our oven vs. the air fryer is the amount of space the oven offers. Rotisserie chicken, 4 baked potatoes, pizza, evenly cooked tenderloin with a broil setting that can provide a crust."
"I use it a ton for roasting peppers along with daily for everything else."
"just for hiking and trail rubbing ... Personally I wore them for my ultra."

"Best shoes for the pnw! What I use as well"
"I love the huge open screen on the front and the fact that it angles forward. It meant that even if I was in the tent in the rain, I could usually have the fly in front rolled up and still “feel” outside, without any rain getting in."
"They got me through an entire bandon dunes trip where it rained for 3 days straight."

"The EGO Max foam they're using in the midsole is unbelievable. ... Incredibly comfortable with an extremely lively response."

"slightly tougher/longer lasting tread than speedgoats ... Challengers can tolerate it due to the tougher outsole ... nothing stops you from almost literally running them into the ground with how much of an outsole they've got on them."
"the tread doesn’t wear too quickly on the tarmac ... I’m about 1200k into this pair and probably looking to replace them soon."
"I’ve just passed 120k on this pair and no problems apart from some slight wear on the tread of the heel (the first thing that always goes for me). ... My previous pair lasted about the same amount of time too so I’ve never had issues."

"just got back from a trip with tons of walking and running from the Airbnb on roads to trails and the pegs were the perfect do it all shoe."
"Peg Trails - Are the best Door-to-Trail shoe out there. ... Somehow light and snappy enough for road while being rugged enough for trail terrain."
"A perfect door to trail shoe."

I was wearing Pegasus trail 3 goretex but just started wearing these Morrell’s https://preview.redd.it/56l6d6fvjpzf1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b5b200ef02752853af5b3bb567c73632b39ee4b If anyone is interested in Pegasus trail 3 I have a black/grey pair in size 10 brand new…I’d sell well under retail
I have these in V3 and find the grip terrible- I slip on a wet pavement let alone wet rocks. I don’t have a better recommendation but cant recommend these unless they improved them
I just got these [Air Pegasus Trail 3s](https://a.co/d/fnNa56G). They're light and comfortable and, after three or four rounds in wet weather, very waterproof.
I second this. I was a Moab 2 guy for the last few years, but I just got Pegasus Trail 3s and they're life-changing. Light, springy, comfy, and waterproof.
I just bought the Nike Pegasus Trail GTX in black for a similar situation. Was considering the Novablast 5 TR, but hated the colorway. Also its upper is goretex, so more rainproof.
The Peg GTX is my favorite trail running shoe for transition season here in Canada. There are about 6 weeks where the ground is wet from snow, ice, slush, or just puddles and it is between 20-40f most days, and that shoe shines there. I have put 180 miles on my pair with about 60 of those being road and they are very comfortable on all surfaces. That being said I do think my feet would get hot running in them on any day over 50 degrees and dry.
I just wore my 001s last weekend for the first time for two back to back trail long runs in Quebec. My initial reaction was “wow, these are worth every penny”. Incredibly comfortable from the first wear, although many people say they need a break in period. The outsole was so grippy I had tons of confidence on technical downhills and they fit my foot perfectly at a half size up. I do about 70-80mpw and just recently transitioned to about 50% of those being trail miles, so my only other trail shoe experience is Hoka Speedgoat 5 and Nike Peg Trail. However, I have about 15 pairs of road running shoes and I prefer these over all of them. Again, YMMV, but I absolutely love them after ~40 miles and I hear they get 500+ miles of use for most people. Also you have to get a .5 size up. 12.5 fit me perfectly and I’m a 12 in every other shoe. Lmk if you have more specific questions but I think the consensus on 001 is that if you have the money and want to spend it on a nice trail shoe, they are worth it!
I’ve been using Pegasus Trail 3/4 and just got some 5 and they’ve been great for disc golf. Hold up well to concrete tee pads, but I don’t drag my toes or anything. If you go to a disc golf pro tour event, I would say close to 40% of the pros are wearing Nike. adidas Terrex used to be the clear choice, but is the minority now. Vessi might be the second most common.
Local trails. Have ran the 50k. Minimal climbs and lots of sand. You can wear road shoes if you want. But if the construction is thin, it might tear up quicker than normal from sharp rocks. Grip will be no issue as it’s fairly flat. Highly recommended gaiters as you will fill your shoes with sand etc. My usual shoe of choice, Nike peg trail (recent - Nnormal Kerajg).
I’m a rotation between Nike Trail Peg 3/4s, Mount to Coast T1, Salomon S/lab Genesis.
You’re gonna just have to try some and find those that *you* like that perform and last the way *you* want. I like Terrex Swift waterproof grip (Continental sole). Great support. Have had three pair. Adidas replaced one for free because the sole separated. But, in general, they didn’t last very long. I like Salomon Speedcross 5. Not great for wide feet though. Lasted longer than Terrex and lighter. If you toe drag, you’ll easily wear a hole. I may buy another pair if hit a sale. Nike Pegasus Gore-Tex Trail. Super light, great waterproof. Lasted well, especially for the super light feel. Not as much lateral support as some others. Toe tread eventually separated. Extended life via shoe-goo. Would definitely buy on sale.
I’ve got a pair of nike pegasus trail running shoes that i wear for all but the most strenuous of hikes and they’re genius. Obviously multi purpose too. They’re goretex ones so shower/small puddle proof. Can’t recommend something like that enough as your ‘core’ shoe.
I've bought several goretex shoes from Nike (Winflo, infinity run, and a couple pairs of goretex pegasus trail) I like all of them quite a bit. I think that for streets, the soles of the winflo and infinity runs have better wet pavement traction than the pegasus, but for off-pavement, the pegasus has a much better sole. the other thing I noticed is that the added bulk on these shoes, especially in the toe box has caused some brusing on my big toe. The material above the toes is stiffer, I'm guessing it's teh additional layer of goretex. Only happens when walking, haven't experienced the discomfort when running. Maybe I need to work on my walking form. The pegasus handles this a lot better and is a more comfortable overall shoe. It's also got some (very light) built in collar around the ankle to keep out some minimal splashing and gravel. Of these three, I would recommend the pegasus trail shoes, although I like them all.
