How it ranks

How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Based on
The bars show roughly how much each source contributes to this shoe’s rating. Their influence depends on how many reviews we’ve collected, how many earlier versions are in the product line, and the external ratings available.
“Consistent heel slip and lack of stability in the ankle makes the shoe really frustrating to run in.”
“The Zoom air pocket really provides long term, consistent cushioning that does not compress or break down.”
“Lack any sort of pop when it comes to speed; not recommended for workouts or tempos.”
“Used to have sharp plantar issues in all Nike shoes but have no regrets at all with these.”
“The shoe is ruined by an awful heel fit.”
“Has no issues slogging 8:00 pace, and no issues picking it up to 5:30 pace either.”
“For a lot of people they experience a shoe that's too heavy and the cushioning a bit dead.”
“Still a great shoe for everything you want to throw at it. Intervals, tempos, long easy runs, races.”
“Tight-fitting upper resolved after fewer than 5 runs when the material began to break in.”
“It prefers to be struck midfoot/forefoot and transitions from that point well.”
“The new ZoomFly 3-esque React foam midsole has changed the geometry of the shoe completely.”
“Only after 300 miles did I really start to enjoy this shoe.”
“The 37 is a really durable shoe that can handle many miles.”
“Changed for the worse in my opinion on the 37s for a clumsier more bulky arrangement.”
“The foam is softer and more flexible which feels great.”
“The thicker forefoot and lower drop has been relatively easy to get used to.”
“Lasts a long time.”

this is the only brand and model I trained with the highest mileage and with very few uncomfortable feeling at the end of its life around 1200miles accumulated. 90% on concrete pavement.

Overall
The 37s are very good training shoes that lasted a while. They seem to lack any sort of pop when it comes to speed, so I wouldn't recommend them for workouts or tempos.

35 mpw training for 5K and 10K came from the Nike Run Swift 2
5/5
Overall
The Nike Peg 37 has been a great everyday trainer that does not have to be flashy. Just a shoe that gets the job done, and does it well. I was not a fan of the later models that had more cushion in the heel. For me, it just didn't do it for me. The 37 is a really durable shoe that can handle many miles. Although it may not be the lightest daily trainer, it has been my go-to for the last few years.

Overall
I have been wearing the Nike Pegasus for over 30 years. I love the cushioning and feel and always buy the older models at outlets for great prices. I used to run 50-60 miles a week at 6:00-7:00 pace but now, at age 65+, jog a few miles each week.
