FAQs
Are the Nike Pegasus 42 trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Pegasus 42 is designed with a neutral, standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the standard width snug and might prefer testing a half-size up.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Pegasus 42 is designed for high-mileage road running and is frequently used by athletes as a reliable base-training shoe.
How often should I replace my trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the standard Pegasus 42 is made of breathable materials and is not waterproof.
How do I clean the white portions of the shoe?
Use a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent and warm water to spot clean the white areas. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Ensure the laces are not tightened too aggressively across the midfoot; try a different lacing technique like 'window lacing' to relieve pressure.
Upper material showing premature wear
Check if your toenails are trimmed regularly, as sharp or long nails can create friction points that tear the fabric from the inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pegasus 42 trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing your preferred running socks during initial sizing. After runs, remove the insoles to allow them to air out independently, which helps prevent odour and moisture buildup. If the exterior gets muddy or dusty, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid putting the trainers in a washing machine, as the high heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive and cushioning foams.
