So I've been running in the Pegasus for many years now and it has worked well for me. The new Pegasus 28, however, doesn't fit me that well and is a bit too soft for my taste. Any suggestions on what shoe to wear if I like the Pegasus 27? The Brooks Ghost 4 looks like a good option, anyone have any other suggestions?
I wish they still made the Pegasus Racer, that shoe was the tits.
WHY DO THESE FARGIN' ICEHOLES KEEP MESSING WITH OUR SHOES?!
If a shoe is popular, it is because people like it. Why do they need to tweak and change every year?
Ghost 4, New Balance 890 is a slick shoe, mizuno wave rider is a little firmer and so is the Cumulus. You could try out Saucony's new Cortana (4mm heel drop) if you wanted to go a bit more high end.
I've worn Pegasus for over 20 years - I think the 27 was one of the worst - the outside heel was softer than the rest of the heel. This seems to have been corrected in the 28, and I don't notice it being any softer and I don't notice any change in fit.
Give the 28 another try.
The Peg 27 and 28 have the exact same midsole. No difference in the cushion/support between the two. Only change is the upper.
what he said. same shoe. different upper. just go online and get another pair of 27s.
I realize that the Pegasus 28 is very similar to the 27, but for whatever reason the fit is different which screws with my form and gives me posterior tibial tendinitis. I have ran 150 miles in the shoe so I think I have given it a chance at this point. To me it doesn't feel like an identical shoe to the 27, even though on paper it may be very similar. That's why i'm looking to other brands/models at this point. Is the Vomero even worth trying?
Are you shoe it's the shoe? There are many other things that your injury could be caused by, eg ramping up your mileage too quick, change of workouts, trails, etc. But I'm sure you've thought all those through.
The Vomero is a softer ride than the Pegasus, mainly due to the added air in the forefoot, and the soft Duralon outersole which is not as durable as BRS rubber, but an awesome shoe, very responsive for how cushioned it is.
No, no. I don't think you resize. they are the EXACT same midsole which is the only thing which will play havoc with the fit of them. The upper is the only difference. I bet you're that dick head that sits in the shoe shop hassling the attendant that the left shoe feels different to the right one. Suck it up
*realize
Adidas Supernova Glide 3, New Balance 880, Adizero Boston 2. The Wave Rider 14 STINKS. I used to run in the Pegs for over 10 years. The current ones are terrible. I agree, the 28 is alot softer than the 27 even if they say it's the same midsole. It looks the same but it sure doesn't feel like it. I've been impressed with Adidas of late. Firm and responsive.

Hey dipsh**, i'm not here to argue with people if the Pegasus 28 is the same shoe as the 27 or not. Do you understand that even if the midsole is the same material, they can cut it to a different size/shape which changes the fit? Isn't it obvious that the fit of the upper can completely change how the ****ing shoe feels on your foot?
Anyway, thanks to those who gave recommendations. I may try on the Pegasus 28 again, but the fit/ride just doesn't feel the same to me.
Sometimes they can change the durometer of cushioning in a midsole, so even though the 27 and 28 have the exact same mould, the 28 could have a softer compound which a lot of people don't realize.
Durometer, materials, etc all unchanged on Peg 27 and Peg 28 midsole with the goal of maintaining a consistent ride between the two. Upper is the only difference.
the peg 28 and 29 ride exactly the same. the 27 is a lot firmer. i believe that made the BRS rubber softer which helps knock off some weight of the shoe, but the ride is sacrified.
why do you have to be a know it all? the 27 and 28 are NOT the same. I have been wearing my 27s to the nub and they are still more comfortable than the 27s. the sole is different, the support is different, and the upper is different. just because it doesn't affect how you run does not mean the OP is an idiot and there is no change. HUGE change for some. like you, the 28s and beyond SUCK
There is a difference between the 27 and 28 actually, in the 27 the insole was firm and stiff as far as the ball of the foot and was the same as the one in the structure 15, in the 28 the insole was soft and floppy and less supportive and made of a much less dense material, this had a big impact on the feel of the shoe and made it have less 'pop' and structure to the shoe, the upper was also sloppier with less support on the medial side.
