FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
The Pegasus 38 is primarily designed for road and paved surfaces. While it has good traction, it lacks the aggressive lugs required for technical trail terrain.
Does the Pegasus 38 run true to size?
Yes, it generally fits true to size for standard adult feet, though the knit upper provides a snug, secure wrap.
How long should these shoes last?
With standard use, you can expect between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Can I use these for speed work?
Yes, the Zoom Air unit provides enough responsiveness for moderate speed work, though lighter shoes exist for elite-level racing.
Are these sneakers machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the foam and structural overlays. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth.
What is the primary benefit of the React foam?
React foam is engineered to provide a soft, springy feel while remaining durable enough to withstand high-mileage training.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the laces at the affected area and adjust the webbing eyestays to redistribute tension.
Accumulated debris in outsole grooves
Use a dull, non-metallic tool to gently dislodge rocks or pebbles from the deep grooves to maintain flexibility.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Ensure the shoe is fully dry before running, as excessive moisture can temporarily affect the responsiveness of the React foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pegasus 38s, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The webbing eyestays allow for a customizable fit; avoid overtightening to prevent unnecessary pressure on the top of the foot.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, allow 15-20 miles for the midsole foam to fully settle into your specific gait pattern.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the foam from drying out or losing its bounce.
