Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use & Fit
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight. Use all eyelets for a secure, locked-in feel, especially around the padded collar.
- Sock Choice: Wear your preferred running socks to ensure the most accurate fit and feel. Thin socks will provide a different experience than thicker, cushioned ones.
- Initial Runs: Break in your new shoes with a few shorter, easier runs before tackling longer distances or speed workouts. This allows the cushioning to adapt to your foot and stride.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed primarily for road running and paved surfaces. Their cushioning and traction excel in urban environments, on track surfaces, and treadmills. While they can handle light gravel paths, they are not intended for technical trail running.
Care Instructions
To prolong the life and performance of your Pegasus 41 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently remove dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap mixed with cool water. Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Let them air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can degrade materials over time.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your shoes with another pair. This allows the cushioning to decompress and can extend the lifespan of both pairs.
