FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Pegasus 42 is built for consistent training and provides enough support and cushioning for long-distance road running.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily a running shoe, they are stable enough for light gym work, though a dedicated training shoe might be better for heavy weightlifting.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Is the Pegasus 42 waterproof?
No, these trainers are designed for breathability and are not inherently waterproof.
Do these run true to size?
Nike trainers generally run true to size, but since foot shape varies, we recommend trying them on or consulting the size guide before purchase.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Excessive heel slipping
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock to secure the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Pegasus 42 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure there is about a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesive and cushioning foams.
- Air Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
