FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 42 is designed with sufficient cushioning and responsiveness to be suitable for marathon distances for many runners.

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

The Pegasus 42 features ReactX foam, which is 13% more responsive than the foam used in previous React technology found in models like the Pegasus 41, and an updated silhouette for improved fit and spring.

How do I clean my Nike Pegasus 42 trainers?

Gently clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat. Avoid using a washing machine.

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

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 42 has a 10mm heel-to-toe drop.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

While the updated Waffle outsole offers good traction, these trainers are primarily designed for road running. They may not provide adequate grip or protection for technical trail surfaces.

Is the toe box wider on the Pegasus 42?

Yes, the Pegasus 42 features an updated silhouette that includes a wider toe box compared to some previous models, aiming to provide a more comfortable fit and greater spring.

What kind of socks are recommended?

For optimal comfort and to prevent chafing, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking athletic socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight in the toe box.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Pegasus 42 features a wider toe box, but if you have very wide feet, consider trying them on in person or exploring wider fit options if available.

Lack of responsiveness or energy return.

Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. The ReactX foam may require a few runs to reach its optimal performance. Check that the Air Zoom unit is not compromised.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

The Waffle outsole provides good traction, but like all rubber soles, can be less effective on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Upper material feels abrasive.

This can sometimes occur during the initial break-in period. Wearing appropriate running socks and continuing to use the shoes for short runs should help the material conform to your foot.

  • Enhanced energy return for a more dynamic run.
  • Improved responsiveness from ReactX foam technology.

Cons
