I Love These Shoes!

I dread having to purchase running shoes, as there are so many to choose from, and each pair fits differently. I love these shoes! I was a huge fan of the Pegasus 38, purchased two pairs. I tried the Pegasus 41 and didn't feel like they had enough cushion on the soles for running, and they just felt hard and cheap on my feet. I saw that the Pegasus 42 was going to be released so I patiently waiting for them- and boy am I glad I did! They are great! They have a tad bit wider toe box compared to the 38, so they aren't as narrow which I love. They have great cushion on the soles so they absorb impact as expected. My legs & feet feel great after brisk walks and jog/runs. I'm normally a size 8 in athletic shoes, but for Nike running shoes I always purchase a size 8.5. These fit great. I purchased the white with green and they look lovely- very sporty. Kinda wish they had more colors to choose from. Will be back for a second pair just to have as backup.

I really like the Pegasus 42. It’s comfortable right away and I can wear it all day without my feet hurting. I’ve used it for walking, lifting and running and it feels lightweight but still supportive. The cushioning is a nice balance; not too soft, not too stiff. Honestly it’s a great everyday shoe for me.

Pegasus At It Again

These shoes are *chef’s kiss* - was running in Pegasus Premiums for several weeks before 42’s release and was so nervous to run a race in my 42s having only ran 2.5 miles in them prior to it but BOY did I make the right decision!! The comfortability yet snug fit, the padding yet total control, the weightlessness - this shoe is the total package. Brought me a race PR and no foot aches. You know you’re in a good shoe when you can’t hear your feet slap the pavement. These are it! Thank you Nike!!!

Cloud 9

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are amazinggggg. Am in love. These shoes have a snug fit. The feeling of comfort soft bouncy insole bring aches and discomfort to and end. There’s some type of elevation these shoes gives. These shoes may be listed as runners but I believe people who stand on feet for long period will enjoy wearing these. The fabric is breathable, some type of stretch but yet still snug. Can wait to see how it up keep.

Supportive And Lightweight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These sneakers fit true to size and feel great! Great cushion in the heel and moderate arch support. I am a heavy heel striker when I walk and these handle the impact and support my heels and knees. Sleek design with a breathable yet sturdy fabric. The shoe looks good with both workout wear and on athleisure days.
