Variants of this shoe

  • Pegasus 42 Keely Hodgkinson Edition

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 Pegasus 42 sits about average for daily trainers in our data. Looks and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 7 runner reviews and 22 other rated shoes in the Pegasus product line. Another 5 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.

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.
