My shoe review

Anonymous runner · Jul 30, 2019

5/5

Overall

I started running in my Pegasus 34’s about a year ago. I’m 12 years old and can’t often find time to run, but when I do the shoes have given me a lot of support and give me good bounce in my stride. The shoes are also super comfortable!

Overall

I've probably gone through 4 or 5 pairs of the pegasus 34. I pick them up anywhere from $35 to $50 at my nearby Nike outlet and they last me for a little over 200 miles. The upper, midsole, and outsole all have the same feeling: nothing fancy or spectacular. The whole shoe is a good, reliable trainer that I can count on for 200 miles.

Overall

This shoe has been fine. It's a solid neutral shoe. The lacing can start to chafe against the top of my foot if not tied more loosely than I typically do. It feels larger than previous Pegasus models I have had in the past so it feels floppy like a clown shoe.
