FAQs

What is the main difference between the Pegasus 42 and previous models?

The Pegasus 42 features a full-length Air Zoom unit (replacing separate heel and forefoot units), an updated, roomier fit in the forefoot, and a softer, more breathable mesh upper.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?

Yes, the Pegasus 42 is designed as a daily trainer and can be used for marathon training, offering good cushioning and energy return for long runs.

What kind of surfaces are best for the Pegasus 42?

They are best suited for roads, treadmills, and other paved surfaces. The updated Waffle outsole provides good traction on dry conditions.

How do I know if the updated fit is right for me?

If you experienced tightness in the forefoot or toe box in previous models, the Pegasus 42's updated fit may be more comfortable. Try them on to assess the difference.

Can I wear these for trail running?

While the outsole offers some traction, they are primarily designed for road running. For technical trails, a shoe with more aggressive lugs would be more appropriate.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel offset is 10mm, which is a common and balanced drop for daily trainers.

How much do the Pegasus 42 trainers weigh?

The approximate weight is 300g for a men's size 9.5.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort in the toe box or forefoot.

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. The updated fit provides more room, so adjust lacing to your comfort. If persistent, consider if the shoe size is correct.

Reduced energy return or a flat feeling.

Ensure the full-length Air Zoom unit is functioning as expected. Break-in periods can vary. If the issue persists after several runs, check for any damage to the midsole.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the Waffle outsole offers good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole of any debris that might hinder grip.

Feet feeling too warm.

The lightweight mesh is designed for breathability, but individual foot temperature can vary. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If overheating persists, consider thinner socks or a more open-weave mesh shoe for extreme heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Smoother and more energized ride due to the full-length Air Zoom unit.
  • Enhanced comfort with a roomier toe box and forefoot.
  • Improved breathability and a softer feel from the updated mesh upper.
  • Responsive cushioning thanks to ReactX foam.
  • Reliable traction and flexibility from the redesigned Waffle outsole.

Cons

  • The updated fit might require a short adjustment period for runners accustomed to previous Pegasus models.
  • While breathable, the softer mesh may offer slightly less structure than very rigid uppers.
  • The focus on smooth transitions might appeal more to neutral runners than those needing significant stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 42 requires no specific setup; simply try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. It's recommended to wear them for a short run initially to get accustomed to the feel.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running on roads, treadmills, and other paved surfaces. They are suitable for neutral runners and those who may benefit from a cushioned and responsive daily trainer.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Pegasus 42 trainers:

  • Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent with cold water and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
  • Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use.
