Variants of this shoe
Some shoes have multiple versions of what is essentially the same shoe, with variations in style or materials. We try to group these together. Retailers sometimes list a version number wrong, and our system can treat those mislabeled names as variants.
How it ranks
The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 ranks below most daily trainers in our data. Looks and value are its strongest sub-ratings. Comfort scores well below its other sub-ratings. Most runners who came to it from another shoe preferred it. The rating rests on 134 runner reviews and 22 other rated shoes in the Pegasus product line.
Confidence
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 will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Need this shoe for my arches and after structure 22's were discontinued switched to Pegasus 37's then 38's and now 39's. Much happier with the back as the pointy edge made it difficult to do core exercises.

As someone with wide feet, finding comfortable and stylish shoes can be a challenge. Luckily, the Air Zoom Pegasus 39 has proven to be a remarkable option for individuals like me. In this review on LetsRun, I will outline some compelling reasons why these shoes are a great fit for wide feet, as well as a few drawbacks to consider before making a purchase.
Pros for Wide Feet:
Roomy Toe Box: The Air Zoom Pegasus 39 provides ample space in the toe area, allowing your toes to spread naturally. This feature prevents discomfort and promotes better circulation, making it perfect for those with wider feet.
Breathability: The shoe's mesh upper offers excellent breathability, ensuring proper airflow around your feet. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with wide feet, as it helps prevent excessive sweating and keeps your feet cool and dry.
Adaptive Fit: The shoe incorporates a Flywire system that adjusts to the shape of your foot, providing a snug and secure fit. This adaptability ensures that even those with wide feet can experience the right level of support without compromising on comfort.
Cons to Consider:
Limited Color Options: One drawback of the Air Zoom Pegasus 39 is its limited color range. While it excels in terms of comfort, the available color options might not be as diverse as some individuals would prefer. However, the shoe's performance and fit make up for this minor inconvenience.
Durability: Some users have reported that the outsole of the Air Zoom Pegasus 39 wears out relatively quickly, especially when used on rough terrains. If you often engage in intense outdoor activities, you may need to consider the shoe's longevity and perhaps explore other options that offer greater durability.
Conclusion:
Overall, the Air Zoom Pegasus 39 is an exceptional choice for those with wide feet. Its roomy toe box, breathability, and adaptive fit make it a comfortable and supportive shoe. While the limited color options and potential durability issues are worth noting, they do not detract from the shoe's overall performance. If you prioritize comfort and are in need of a shoe that accommodates wider feet, the Air Zoom Pegasus 39 is definitely worth considering.

Overall
I’ve run in Pegasus for almost 10 years after deciding to switch from my trusty ASICS. The Pegasus still is one of my top training shoes. They have adequate cushioning although it could be better. West is pretty standard compared to other shoes I’ve trained in. I always like the look of Nike’s compared to other running brands. But Nike’s tend to be more flash than function. I’ve really enjoyed the 39 version. I run in the shield version and it does a pretty good job keeping my feet protected from wet weather although it’s no where near what the gore-tex model does. Overall a pretty good show but not great.

5/5
Overall
Put simply, the Pegasus 39 is yet another solid edition. Sufficient cushioning for a good ride, but plenty of feel and control as well. Doesn’t have the bounce or the obvious return of the higher end Nike’s, but wouldn’t expect it for half the price. Holds up very nice (5 months at 50K a week). It’s just hard to beat Pegasus for an everyday running shoe at the price point, especially given the frequency they are on sell (well, less desirable color ways at least).
