30 Years with Pegasus, then switched to React Milers

HBHS 220y · Jun 28, 2023

4/5

Overall

Following a total knee replacement, I needed the most cushioned shoe I could find. Nike Pegasus were good, but not great in that department. Switched to Nike React Milers: first the 2, which were not well-made and promptly developed tears on the inside of the uppers of both shoes. Then bought Nike React Miler 3s and have been happy.

Because of my knee, I don't run distances, but run on dirt and grass, with as much uphill as I can find, to reduce the pounding. I run every day, the the React Miler 3s have held their cushioning for the four months I have used them.  Am happy with my current choice.
