FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Nike Pegasis 42 is not waterproof. They are breathable, which makes them great for warm weather but they will absorb water in heavy rain.
Can these be used for other sports besides running?
Yes, they provide enough stability for general physical education and gym activities, though they are not designed as specialized court shoes for basketball or volleyball.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be inspected for wear every 300-500 miles. For casual school use, check if the outsole tread is worn smooth or if the midsole foam feels overly compressed.
Do these have wide fit options?
The standard Pegasis 42 is built on a neutral last; for wide feet, consider testing a half-size up if comfort is compromised.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended to hand clean these shoes. Washing machines can damage the adhesives and distort the shape of the trainer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' or 'parallel' style to reduce pressure on the top of the foot.
Visible dirt accumulation in the outsole grooves
Use a small, soft brush or compressed air to gently dislodge pebbles or compacted debris from the traction pattern.
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets to distribute tension evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear out of the box with standard lacing systems for a customizable fit. To ensure compatibility, verify the child's UK foot size before purchase, as sizing can vary slightly between athletic models.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to remove surface dirt.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature; avoid placing near heaters or direct high-heat sources, as this can degrade the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent material breakdown.
- Rotation: If used daily, alternating between two pairs can help the foam recover its shape over time.
