Consider a GORE-TEX trail model when waterproof construction is part of your shopping brief. Check the exact product description for that feature. A shoe labelled “trail” is not automatically waterproof, and the right choice also depends on fit, route and conditions.
Read the full waterproof claim
The Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX example below is explicitly described with a waterproof upper. The standard Pegasus Trail 3 and Juniper Trail 2 examples form a separate group; this guide does not give them the same waterproof claim.
GORE-TEX is a material technology, while the model name identifies the complete shoe. Two GORE-TEX models can still have different uppers, cushioning and outsoles. Compare those details rather than assuming that the label makes the shoes equivalent.
Think about the whole outing
Start with the conditions you expect and whether waterproof construction is a priority. Also check the tread, intended terrain and fit of the individual model. Waterproof wording is not a guarantee of grip on every surface, and a low-cut shoe still has an opening around the ankle.
This edit includes men’s and women’s listings, separated in the product names. Check the full size label and model-specific guidance. The examples span different generations and price points; use the current product page for the exact specification.

Questions before you choose
Are all Nike Pegasus Trail shoes waterproof?
No blanket waterproof claim should be made for the family. Look for GORE-TEX or an explicit waterproof statement on the exact product.
Does GORE-TEX mean the shoe cannot get wet inside?
It describes waterproof construction, not a sealed opening at the ankle. Check the manufacturer’s use and care guidance and the conditions you plan to encounter.
Is a waterproof trail shoe suitable for every activity?
Choose by the complete shoe specification and intended use. Waterproofing alone does not establish suitability for technical terrain, a particular sport or specialist needs.
