Overall

As the family runner, I actually inherited an unused pair from my grandpa. I've been a pegasus fan for years, and this lived up to expectation. Great comfort for narrow footed, high arch types like myself.

This was the last Pegasus that was up to something. Others following are just flushy cushly fast melting crocs.

3/5

Overall

I love the shoe until recently. I've been running in it since last fall (~20 to 35MPW) But recently I've experienced some knee pain which I've never had before. I'm not sure if it is related but I can't think of anything else that could have contributed to it and I've taken a week off and the pain has come right back. I'm about to try a different shoe to see if that improves anything.
