FAQs

Are the Nike Pegasus 42 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Pegasus 42 offers sufficient cushioning and responsiveness for marathon distances, especially for neutral runners. However, performance can vary based on individual needs and running style over very long distances.

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

The Pegasus 42 features a full-length Air Zoom unit (instead of heel and forefoot units), ReactX foam for improved responsiveness, a softer and more breathable mesh upper, and an updated fit with a wider toe box for enhanced comfort.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

These shoes are primarily designed for road running. The Waffle outsole provides good traction on pavement, but it may not offer sufficient grip or protection for varied trail surfaces.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to Nike's official sizing chart for the most accurate measurement. Generally, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Pegasus 42?

The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm, which is considered a standard and balanced drop for many runners.

How much do the Nike Pegasus 42 weigh?

The Nike Pegasus 42 weigh approximately 243g for a women's size 5.5 (US), which is relatively lightweight for a daily trainer.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight in the forefoot

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Try lacing techniques that offer more volume in the forefoot. The updated fit is designed to be more accommodating, so loosening the laces may provide the necessary space.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the Waffle outsole offers good traction, very slick or wet surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean, as debris can reduce grip. For challenging conditions, consider specialized wet-weather running shoes.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Running shoe cushioning and responsiveness can decrease with significant mileage. Clean the shoes regularly and store them properly. If responsiveness is still lacking after hundreds of miles, it may be time to consider replacing them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a highly responsive and energized running experience.
  • Improved comfort due to a softer, more breathable upper and wider toe box.
  • Enhanced traction and flexibility from the updated Waffle outsole.
  • Sufficient cushioning for daily road runs.
  • Smooth transitions between stride phases thanks to the full-length Air Zoom unit and toe spring.

Cons

  • The updated fit may feel different for runners accustomed to the Pegasus 41.
  • Primarily designed for road running; may not be optimal for trails.
  • While breathable, intense heat could still lead to some discomfort for very sensitive feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you tie the laces to achieve a secure and comfortable fit, adjusting as needed throughout your run.

Compatibility: The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 42 is designed for neutral runners and is best suited for road running surfaces. It is compatible with standard running socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a dry brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt and mud. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes in water.
  2. 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, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
