5/5

Overall

I love it, and was surprised because I had previously HATED Nikes. The reason my Pegasus are so old is that I've had two babies since I bought the +26 and bought the +27 on sale. They're holding up b/c I haven't had much running in lately. But I'm back and they feel great! I used to run 50-70 miles a week, and the Pegasus had held up. I have tried to work in a pair of Asics Cumulus 16(?), but they make my feet muscles fatigue now that I'm coming back into running daily, and when I wear them, I can feel my ITBS creeping back in. I have run in Sauconys that I loved, several consecutive pairs, but then they changed things up. I have run in Brooks that I loved, but they wore out WAY too quickly. I have also run in ASICS Nimbus, but they got just way too expensive.
