4/5
Overall
The Nike Peg collection has always been my chosen shoe and while I was never a fan of the 31s or 33s due to their extra bulk over the 32s, the 35s have the same issue but seem to use it to their advantage. I always preferred the smaller form factor of the 32s as it made me feel better to have what is arguably a more attractive shoe on my foot. This psychological boost can have a massive impact on performance and training. The 35s however don't have the same clunky feel and with my heel strike, the extra weight is benefited by the extra cushioning that allows you to spring off again in the next stride. The design as well isn't held back by the clunkiness and looks good on the foot which can make you feel much better on your run.

Excellent Shoe

Overall
I run in this shoe fairly consistently. They typically stay pretty much the same from year to year, and that makes it a big plus. I've had to try other shoes (361 Meraki and Mizuno Wave Rider) on some years when Nike makes too dramatic of a change. The most notable times were when the toe box got too big, and another time when the material in the upper was really stiff.
I had to rate the durability a little lower, since I can only get about 300 miles out of the shoe before I start to break down. Depending on my blend of roads vs. trails, with a significantly higher ratio of roads to trails , the sole is still in good shape, but I start to feel aches in pains in my lower extremities. I'm 54, run light on my feet, and am 5'9" and 140 lbs., so not really putting hard miles on the shoes. The shoes are comfortable, fit my narrowish foot really great, aren't too heavy, and require no "break-in" period.

Been using the pegasus zoom air since version 28 or so. Great consistency through version 35. Will try 36 next for marathon training.
