Just what I needed
Phil · Dec 3, 2023
5/5
Overall
The Nike Pegasus Trail 3 was an unexpected find at the recently opened clearance center in Sacramento, CA. I started wearing Air Pegasus shoes for training as far back as the 1980s. I've bought a few pairs in the last several years, mainly for outdoor walking and treadmill, but each generation tended toward a narrower toe box. I started looking for the earlier models online a few years ago, but they were getting harder to find. When I came across the Trail 3 at the clearance center, they looked right and a little running in the store reinforced my thoughts. At clearance price, they have been an extremely good value. At regular retail, they're still a good value compared to a lot of other high end shoes these days. I'm a 71 year old former competitive distance runner who needs cushioning in a neutral shoe and these have been perfect for me for walking and the minimal running I still do.
