Nice shoe ...as always!

4/5

Overall

Always my go-to shoe, even thru all the changes, all these years! This model feels like the old school Pegasus! Not just a "market" shoe, made for looks! It's an everyday trainer, that I can rely on to deliver! Wore it in a Half-Marathon, after only putting about 80 miles on it, and it felt pretty good! A little lighter weight than most of my past Pegasus, so seems to work really well for Tempo's and Track work too! Anxious to see how it holds up overall, as that is the true test for Pegasus!!!
