FAQs

Are the Nike Pegasus 42 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Pegasus 42 is designed for daily training and can be used for marathon distances due to its responsive cushioning and comfortable fit. However, some marathoners may prefer shoes with maximum cushioning for ultra-long distances.

What is the main difference between the Pegasus 41 and the Pegasus 42?

The Pegasus 42 features a full-length Air Zoom unit (replacing the heel and forefoot units in the 41), ReactX foam for increased responsiveness, a softer and more breathable mesh upper, and an updated fit with more room in the forefoot and toe box.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The Pegasus 42 runs true to size. You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The fit should be snug in the heel and midfoot, with comfortable room in the toe box.

Can these trainers be used for gym workouts?

While the Pegasus 42 can be used for light gym activities, they are primarily optimized for road running. For training involving lateral movements or heavy lifting, a cross-training shoe might be more appropriate.

What is the weight of the Nike Pegasus 42?

The Nike Pegasus 42 weighs approximately 243 grams for a women's size 8 (this can vary slightly based on size).

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop for the Nike Pegasus 42 is 10mm.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Pegasus 42 features a breathable mesh upper, making them water-resistant but not waterproof. They are designed for performance in dry or mildly wet conditions, not for running in heavy rain or through puddles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight in the forefoot.

Loosen the laces, especially in the forefoot area, to allow for more space. If the issue persists, consider if a half-size larger might be more comfortable, though the design aims for a roomier fit than previous models.

Lack of cushioning or responsiveness.

Ensure the shoes are broken in properly. New shoes may take a few miles to reach their full cushioning potential. Check that the full-length Air Zoom unit and ReactX foam are performing as expected; this is unlikely to degrade quickly with normal use.

Traction is poor on wet surfaces.

The Waffle outsole is designed for road traction. While generally effective, very slick or wet surfaces can still pose challenges. Ensure the outsole is clean; debris can sometimes reduce grip.

Upper feels uncomfortable or causes irritation.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If irritation persists, try adjusting the lacing system or consider if the updated fit is suitable for your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Energized and responsive ride for daily runs.
  • Improved comfort with added forefoot and toe room.
  • Breathable and soft mesh upper keeps feet cool.
  • Durable outsole provides reliable traction.
  • Smoother transitions due to the full-length Air Zoom unit.

Cons

  • The updated fit may feel different for long-time Pegasus users.
  • Primarily designed for road running; may not be ideal for trails.
  • The specific colorway might be polarizing for some.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 42 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. They are designed for a true-to-size fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are best suited for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are not compressed or stored in a way that could deform their shape.
  4. Laundering: It is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry these trainers, as it can compromise the integrity of the cushioning and upper materials.
