FAQs
Is the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 40 a neutral shoe?
Yes, it is designed as a neutral running shoe, making it ideal for runners who do not require specific motion control features.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Absolutely. The Pegasus line is world-renowned for its durability and cushioning, making it a popular choice for high-mileage marathon training.
How should I clean the black mesh upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for any persistent stains, then air dry completely.
Does this shoe provide good arch support?
It provides standard moderate arch support suitable for most neutral foot shapes; however, custom orthotics can be swapped in if needed.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The upper is designed for maximum breathability, meaning it is not water-resistant and will likely allow water to pass through in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets or try a runner's loop knot for a more secure heel lock.
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper mesh
Gently dab with a damp, soapy cloth and avoid aggressive scrubbing to prevent fiber fraying.
Reduced responsiveness after heavy mileage
Check the outsole for excessive wear and consider rotating with a fresh pair to allow the foam to rebound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pegasus 40s, it is recommended to allow the foam and cushioning time to recover between runs if you are training daily. Compatibility with various running socks is high, though thinner performance socks are suggested to optimize the shoe's breathable properties. For cleaning, remove surface debris with a dry brush. If deep cleaning is necessary, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the internal adhesives and cushioning integrity. Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
