What runners say

“After the second run, the fin split in half. The ZoomX and react foam split and ripped.”

1/5 Full review

“The ZoomX foam would erode on the back outside heel easily after 100 miles in the original, but the PT2's show no wear after 100.”

5/5 Full review

“The ZoomX foam is very comfortable—cushioned and responsive—and didn't show noticeable wear until after 300 miles.”

5/5 Full review

“Not as bouncy as the original, but they traded bounce that wore out quickly for more speed.”

5/5 Full review

I love every run in them

Overall

My first run in the Nike Pegasus turbo 2 was alright and that’s putting it simply the problem was it took about 4 miles to break in but this is understandable it’s a running shoe after all it happens.After I had broken in the shoes all my runs so far have been amazing.The Cushioning has been perfect and the upper has been basically perfect as well I love the shoe so far and I’m only giving it a 9/10 because the shoes took a few miles to break in.In the end I loved the shoe and I hopefully will continue feeling this way.

Great improvements from PT1

Anonymous runner · Jan 21, 2020

Overall

While I was very impressed with Nike's Pegasus Turbo original two years ago, the PT2 had some great improvements and became my everyday + long distance training shoe. First off, I'm a heel striker -- slight supination. The ZoomX foam of the PT1's would erode on the back outside heel pretty easily even after 100 miles. However, the PT2's do not show much wear or 'damage' after 100. Furthermore, the collar is much better. The PT1's had a very thick and bulky collar and tongue, while the PT2's have streamlined both. Overall, I get a very smooth/cushioned ride with the PT2's and find great ROI for the $160-$180 price tag. My legs feel fresher after each run compared to my previous training shoes.
