Overall

I used to run in Pegasus but found that I needed some support in my right foot. The structure does not have too much support so I can run in it even though I am a mostly neutral runner. I like soft shoes and find that the structure is a little too stiff for me at first, but once broken in I like it a lot- not too stiff and not too soft. The only problem I have is that when they actually are broken in well they are past the halfway point of their lifetime, meaning that they feel great for the week before they are dead.
