FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Pegasus 42 series is designed for high-mileage performance and provides the cushioning necessary for long-distance training.
Can I use these for lifting weights?
While primarily a running shoe, they provide enough stability for general gym training, though dedicated weightlifters may prefer a flatter sole.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is recommended to measure your feet in the evening when they are at their largest and consult the official Nike size chart.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal liners are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
While they feel comfortable immediately, the cushioning and upper materials often mold better to your foot after a few short runs.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight or restricted
Adjust the lacing pattern to a wider configuration or ensure you have the correct UK size, as fit can vary by design.
Slippage in the heel area
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to provide a more secure fit around the ankle collar.
Visible dirt accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud or debris from the outsole and mesh upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first run, ensure the trainers are properly laced to secure the midfoot without restricting blood flow. Because fit is critical, especially for a technical shoe like the Pegasus 42, we recommend testing these with your preferred running socks to account for foot swelling during exercise. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to prevent the breakdown of the cushioning foam.
