FAQs
What type of runner is the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 best for?
The Pegasus 37 is an excellent choice for neutral runners looking for a versatile shoe for everyday training, offering a balance of cushioning and responsiveness suitable for various distances and paces.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not constricting around the midfoot and heel.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While the rubber sole provides decent grip, the Pegasus 37 is primarily designed for road running. They can handle light, well-maintained trails, but are not ideal for technical or muddy terrain where specialized trail shoes would offer better performance and protection.
What is the difference between the Pegasus 37 and previous models?
The Pegasus 37 features a larger, more responsive Zoom Air unit in the forefoot and a redesigned midsole foam (React foam) compared to earlier versions, offering a bouncier feel.
How long should the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 last?
With proper care and regular use for running, the shoes are typically expected to last between 300 to 500 miles. This can vary based on your running gait, weight, and the surfaces you run on.
Are these shoes good for marathon training?
Yes, the Pegasus 37 can be a solid choice for marathon training due to its comfort and responsiveness for daily miles and longer runs. However, very high-mileage runners or those seeking maximum cushioning for ultra-long distances might prefer a shoe with even more plush cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, tighten them and ensure the heel is properly seated. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size, as fit can vary.
Reduced cushioning responsiveness over time
The Zoom Air unit's responsiveness may decrease with significant mileage. This is normal wear and tear. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of use.
Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces
The rubber sole offers good traction, but performance on extremely wet surfaces can be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean. For very wet conditions, run with extra caution or consider shoes with deeper tread patterns if consistently running in such environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a proper fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running and general athletic activities. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. They are not intended for specialized sports requiring specific ankle support or cleated designs.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush on the outsole and upper. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- 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 cause shrinkage or material degradation.
- Storage: Store your Pegasus 37s in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. This helps maintain their shape and material integrity.
