FAQs
Are the Nike Pegasus 42 shoes true to size?
Most users find them to fit true to size, though if you prefer extra room in the toe box, consider the typical fit of Nike running models.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are designed specifically for paved surfaces. While they can handle light gravel paths, they lack the lug depth and protection needed for technical trails.
How often should I replace these trainers?
As a general rule for road trainers, it is recommended to replace them every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are these shoes stable enough for overpronation?
The Pegasus 42 is a neutral trainer. If you have severe overpronation, you may need a stability shoe or a custom orthotic insert.
How should I clean the pink upper material?
Use a mild soap and a damp soft cloth to gently spot clean the fabric. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try the 'window lacing' technique to reduce tension over the bridge of your foot.
Outsole losing traction
Remove small pebbles or hardened mud from the tread pattern using a small tool to restore grip.
Heel slippage
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Pegasus 42 trainers, begin by ensuring the laces are tightened evenly across the bridge of the foot to maintain the shoe's neutral balance. These shoes are compatible with standard neutral orthotics if you require additional arch support.
For maintenance, keep your shoes away from prolonged direct sunlight, which can degrade materials. If they become wet, stuff the insides with newspaper and allow them to air-dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them in a clothes dryer, as the heat can compromise the foam cushioning and adhesive bonds. If the outsole gathers debris, a simple wipe with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush will keep the grip effective.
