Product Information
Full details
The Nike Pegasus 42 Trainers are designed for active kids who need reliable, springy comfort for daily wear and athletic activities. These trainers provide a smooth ride through the combination of an Air Zoom unit and ReactX foam, though they are specifically optimized for athletic performance and may feel firmer than casual leisure-focused footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the Pegasus 42 is specifically built with responsive cushioning and support features intended for running and active play.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing; we recommend leaving about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to accommodate growth.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the foam midsole and upper structure. Hand cleaning is recommended.
What is the difference between this and casual trainers?
This model features specialized performance technologies like Air Zoom and ReactX foam, prioritizing energy return over soft, fashion-only comfort.
Is the sole non-marking?
The high-abrasion rubber is designed for durability and grip, suitable for most school and gym environments.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Use a double knot or consider replacing with elastic laces if the child struggles with traditional tying.
Shoes feeling too snug
Loosen the laces across the entire midfoot to utilize the roominess of the wide toe box.
Squeaking sounds while walking
Check if the insoles are dry; moisture trapped under the insole can often cause squeaking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Nike Pegasus 42, ensure the laces are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation. Since these are performance trainers, they are best paired with moisture-wicking athletic socks to maximize the breathability of the upper. To maintain the shoes, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after use. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the foam and adhesive materials; always air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
