What runners say

“Feel like clouds on recovery days, but put the work in on speed days.”

5/5 Full review

“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

“Shave off about 20 seconds per mile compared to other shoes.”

5/5 Full review

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

MNTiger2018 5/5 Full review

“The most comfortable training shoe ever. Great cushioning, light weight, good stability.”

5/5 Full review

“Feels good the first 150 miles and then slowly feels flat after that.”

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

“Much lighter and less bulky, easier to run and felt like I was gliding.”

5/5 Full review

“Enough cushion and softness, and the midsole doesn't feel dead—I feel energy return.”

This shoe is amazing. Super lightweight yet well cushioned. When I wear it I shave off about 20 seconds per mile on my run compared to wearing other shoes.

Overall

My feet are Nike snobs. There's no way around it. I've tried a load of brands since I started running in 2015, and I just keep falling back to the Pegasus line. That's not a bad thing, but part of me as always wanted to venture out and see what's better. Nevertheless, I have had my eyes on the Turbo edition of the Pegasus since it came out. I have the VaporFly 4% as my marathon shoe, and Pegasus 33-35s as my daily trainer. The Turbo 2 takes the best of both and turns the experience into a ride worth talking about all day. If you run in the VaporFlys, you'll immediately recognize the ZoomX foam feel when you step into the Turbo 2s. They have that bounce that specific to the ZoomX shoes. You also feel that pop of the react foam within the first few strides. The build is very familiar to the regular Pegasus line. The outsole is basically the same. The upper is breathable, and I haven't noticed any hot spots. It has been a comfortable ride. My one dislike is the tongue. It has no form, so it has gotten folded up on each of the runs I've taken in it. Maybe I need to adjust the way I'm tying them, but I haven't found a fix to that yet. As a side note, I think I mistakenly got them early. Fleet Feet told me they couldn't sell them until July 11th, but Rogue Running in Austin sold them to me on the 6th. Oh well. All sales final ;)
