FAQs

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

The Pegasus 42 features an updated ReactX foam midsole for increased responsiveness, a wider toe box for enhanced comfort, and a revised silhouette with increased toe spring for a smoother transition. The outsole has also been updated for better traction and flexibility.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The Nike Pegasus 42 is excellent for everyday training and can be used for marathon distances due to its cushioning and comfort. However, some marathoners may prefer shoes with maximum cushioning for ultra-long distances.

Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?

While they can be used for light gym activities, the Pegasus 42 is primarily designed for road running. Their sole structure is optimized for forward motion, and they may not offer the lateral stability required for certain gym exercises.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

The trainers are designed to fit true to size. You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure the heel is snug and does not slip.

What is ReactX foam?

ReactX foam is Nike's latest cushioning technology, offering 13% greater responsiveness compared to previous React foam. It's designed to provide a more energetic and efficient ride.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Gently clean the mesh upper with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and do not machine wash.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight in the forefoot.

Ensure you have selected the correct size and that the laces are not overtightened. The Pegasus 42 features a wider toe box than its predecessor, but if you have very wide feet, consider trying them on in person or looking for wide-fit specific models if available.

Cushioning feels too firm.

The ReactX foam and Air Zoom unit are designed for responsiveness. It may take a few runs for the cushioning to break in and feel softer. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (roads) as intended for this shoe.

Traction is poor on wet surfaces.

While the waffle outsole provides good traction, extreme wet conditions can still reduce grip. Always exercise caution when running on wet roads. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.

Upper material feels restrictive.

The mesh upper is designed for a secure fit. Ensure laces are adjusted properly. If the restriction persists after a break-in period, the shoe may not be the ideal fit for your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The standard fit and true-to-size recommendation mean you should order your usual UK shoe size.

Compatibility:

The Nike Pegasus 42 is designed primarily for road running. While they can be used for general fitness activities, their cushioning and sole design are optimized for asphalt and paved surfaces. They are not specifically designed for trail running or intense cross-training.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and sole. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to store them in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
