Overall

Absolutely my favorite shoe of all time. I have run in 8+ pairs of these shoes and would recommend them for anyone who runs, all the way from hobby-jogging to hardcore 70+ m/w with speed training. I have NEVER in my 8+ pairs of these had a tear in the material, and I really beat them up. I have a bit wider feet and they accommodate me just fine, have never had any foot problems with them. Finally, they look good! No complaints about the design except MAYBE a little more cushion in the forefoot. 10/10 shoe.

Overall

This is my review of the pegasus 33 running shoes. I haven't been running that long like a lot of people I know and I've only had around 3 pairs of running shoes, so I've been able to run in these shoes for a good amount of time and I love the way they grip the road and have that nice spring to them just gotta get something so they don't smell after my runs. I don't have a lot of money to spend on shoes so I try not to damage them but when you have almost 400km in a shoe over the course of less than a year they tend to wear pretty quick but considering that the shoes hold up very good and I don't think ill be tearing them up any time soon.

Overall

Been running in these since Peg 32's, two pairs of 33's and will be moving on to 34's. Have no problem staying a couple of generations back because nowadays my miles are greatly reduced and 80%+ on relatively non-technical trails. Always comfortable for my high-arched feet, no break-in, no blisters. They just Do IT!
