Pros

  • Five reviewers use it across the range, from easy days through tempo work to track warmups and cooldowns.
  • One reviewer has worn the Pegasus line since 1988, and another is on their tenth pair of this version.
  • One reviewer runs about 600 miles in a pair and reports them holding up.

Cons

  • Cushioning is the weakest of its categories at 3.9 out of 5, and three reviewers describe it as basic, brick-like, or fading as the miles add up.
  • One reviewer wears the heel rubber through to the midsole at 60 miles, with the heel lugs gone after a few runs.
  • The Pegasus 40 before it scores 77 on a hundred and eighty-eight reviews, against 66 for this version.

Great all round shoe. It can handle anything from tempos to easy day paces.

The Nike Pegasus has been a staple for me since competing in college from 1988-1992, and has continued to provide comfort, durability and be a consistent quality shoe for me for more than 30 years.

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!!!

Not as good as previous Nike Peg.

Overall

No where as good as previous Nike Pegasuses such as the 37's or 38's. It has a weird negative tilt that doesn't feel comfortable.
