FAQs

What type of runner is the Pegasus 42 best for?

The Pegasus 42 is best for neutral runners looking for a cushioned and responsive shoe for daily road running, including logging mileage and longer runs.

How does the cushioning compare to previous Pegasus models?

The Pegasus 42 features a full-length Air Zoom unit and ReactX foam, offering a more energized and responsive feel with higher energy return compared to previous models that used segmented Air Zoom units.

Is the fit different from the Pegasus 41?

Yes, the Pegasus 42 features an updated fit with more room in the toes and forefoot compared to the Pegasus 41, designed for increased comfort, especially as feet swell.

Can I use these shoes for speedwork or racing?

While responsive, the Pegasus 42 is primarily designed as a daily trainer. For dedicated speedwork or racing, you might consider Nike's more specialized models like the Vaporfly or Alphafly series.

How do I clean my Pegasus 42 trainers?

Clean them by spot cleaning with mild soap and cold water using a soft brush. Avoid machine washing and allow them to air dry away from heat.

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

The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry to slightly damp conditions, but not for heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight in the forefoot.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Pegasus 42 features an updated, roomier fit, but if you have very wide feet, consider trying them on in person or looking for wide-fit options if available.

Experiencing slight discomfort with the toe spring.

This is a common adjustment for new shoes with an increased toe curve. Try walking in them for short periods initially and gradually increasing mileage as your feet adapt to the new sensation.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

While the Waffle outsole offers good traction, very wet or slick conditions may reduce grip. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure debris is not impeding the tread pattern.

Mesh upper feels less structured.

The softer, more breathable mesh is designed for comfort. If you prefer a very locked-down feel, ensure the laces are tied appropriately, but understand this is a characteristic of the lightweight upper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Energized and smooth ride with full-length Air Zoom unit.
  • Improved comfort due to a more accommodating toe box and softer mesh upper.
  • Enhanced energy return and responsiveness from ReactX foam.
  • Durable traction and flexibility provided by the updated Waffle outsole.
  • Suitable for a variety of daily road running distances.

Cons

  • The increased toe spring may require a brief adjustment period for some runners.
  • May not provide sufficient stability for runners who overpronate.
  • The focus is on daily training, potentially less ideal for speed-focused workouts.
  • Colorways and specific features may vary across different retailer listings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility:

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 42 is designed for road running and is compatible with most running surfaces. They are best suited for neutral runners who do not require significant motion control.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water.
  • Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
