FAQs

What type of runner is the Pegasus 42 best suited for?

The Pegasus 42 is ideal for neutral runners looking for a comfortable, responsive shoe for daily road running, including easy runs, tempo runs, and longer distances.

How does the cushioning compare to previous Pegasus models?

The Pegasus 42 features a full-length Air Zoom unit and ReactX foam, offering enhanced responsiveness and energy return compared to the forefoot and heel units in previous versions.

Is the fit of the Pegasus 42 different from the Pegasus 41?

Yes, Nike has updated the fit for the Pegasus 42 to provide more room in the toe box and forefoot for increased comfort, especially as feet swell during runs.

Can I use these trainers for trail running?

While the Waffle outsole offers good traction, these trainers are primarily designed for road running. For technical trails, a shoe with more aggressive lugs and protection would be more suitable.

How do I clean my Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 42 trainers?

Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild detergent with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Pegasus 42?

The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm.

What is the weight of the Pegasus 42?

The weight is approximately 243g for a women's UK 8.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight in the toe box

The Pegasus 42 features a roomier fit than previous models. If they still feel snug, try wearing thinner socks or allow a few runs for the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Reduced responsiveness after several runs

While the ReactX foam is designed for durability, extreme conditions or heavy use can impact performance. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use for daily trainers. Check for any visible damage to the midsole.

Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces

The updated Waffle outsole provides excellent traction, but like all rubber outsoles, performance can be reduced on very wet or icy surfaces. For such conditions, consider specialized winter running gear. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.

Mesh upper feels less supportive than expected

The focus on breathability means the mesh is lighter. Ensure the laces are properly adjusted to provide adequate lockdown and support for your foot. The design prioritizes comfort and ventilation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy return and responsiveness thanks to the full-length Air Zoom unit and ReactX foam.
  • Improved comfort and breathability with a softer, lighter mesh upper.
  • Enhanced traction and flexibility on various road surfaces with the updated Waffle outsole.
  • More spacious fit, particularly in the toe box, accommodating foot swelling during runs.
  • Smooth heel-to-toe transitions for an efficient stride.

Cons

  • The updated fit, while offering more room, may feel different for long-time Pegasus users.
  • As neutral trainers, they may not provide sufficient support for runners who overpronate.
  • Durability of the outsole's flex grooves under heavy use might be a concern for some.
  • The vibrant colorway may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 42 trainers are ready for use straight out of the box. Simply try them on for initial fit and comfort. No assembly or special setup is required.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for road running on various surfaces. They are compatible with standard running socks and athletic wear. They are not designed for intense trail running, or activities requiring specialized grip or support like rock climbing or basketball.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause shrinkage or material degradation.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are not compressed or stored in a way that could deform their shape.
