FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?

How does the fit compare to the Pegasus 41?

Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily a running shoe, the stable midsole makes them acceptable for light gym work, though they are optimized for forward motion.
How should I clean the upper material?
Use a mild soap and a damp cloth to spot-clean the polyester upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleaches.
What is the weight of the shoe?

Is this shoe intended for neutral runners?

Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping in the heel
Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel collar against your ankle.
Foam feels too stiff initially
The ReactX foam may require a short break-in period of 20-30 miles to fully conform to your gait pattern.
Accumulation of debris in outsole grooves
Regularly inspect the outsole and use a soft-bristle brush to remove small stones or debris that may have become lodged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure you are wearing the correct size, as the Pegasus 42 has a slightly more generous forefoot compared to previous generations. These trainers are optimized for road surfaces; avoid rough, rocky trails to maintain the integrity of the outsole rubber. To care for your shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after muddy runs. Avoid machine washing or machine drying, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning properties of the ReactX foam. Air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
