FAQs
What is the main difference in the Pegasus 42 compared to previous models?
The Pegasus 42 features a full-length Air Zoom unit for more consistent propulsion and uses ReactX foam, offering higher responsiveness. The fit is also updated with more room in the toe box and forefoot.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning and energy return make them suitable for marathon distances, particularly for runners who appreciate a responsive feel.
Can I use these trainers for trail running?
The updated Waffle outsole provides good traction, making them suitable for light trails. However, they are primarily designed for road running, and aggressive trail conditions may require specialized trail shoes.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The fit should feel snug in the heel and midfoot but allow for comfortable toe splay.
What is the heel offset of the Pegasus 42?
The heel offset is 10mm.
How much do the Pegasus 42 weigh?
The weight is approximately 300g for a men's size 9.
Is the mesh upper waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or lightly wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to air pockets or moisture. Try running in them for a bit longer to see if it resolves. If not, ensure the insoles are dry and properly seated.
Blisters or discomfort
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Try wearing them with different running socks or adjusting the lacing. Break them in with shorter runs before attempting longer distances.
Reduced cushioning feel
The ReactX foam and Air Zoom unit may need a break-in period. Continue to use them for daily runs. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as dirt can affect performance.

Cons
- The full-length Air Zoom unit might feel different for users accustomed to split units

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Designed for general adult male runners. Compatible with most running socks. Not intended for specialized sports requiring specific support features beyond running.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to gently clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in car trunks or damp environments.
- Washing Machine: It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the cushioning and materials.
